in thread What would you change?

funny list :)

I would want to keep format, but make it work, and make it actually work, also on lexical file handles, nestable, extendable, versatile etc etc. There are a few useful modules on CPAN already, but none of them actually makes it easy to convert from the good ol' format to what the modules offer. They all have their merrits. Let's bundle and make it useful!

I'd throw out threads. Completely.

I'd make auto-conversion from 32bit ints to 64bit ints to bignum and vv more native, so you never loose significance on integers

I would remove modules from CORE that do not belong in CORE, such as CGI and Text::SoundEx

I'd like the TIE system to be more transparant, and work on all data types (currently Tie::Handle is broke, and there is no Tie::Format. Imagine the fun you could have with the latter


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
