The thing that is still missing in the Perl core for me is more flow control resp. non-linear flow:
One thing that I miss both in Perl 5, 6 and most languages I know of is some form of addomesticated code rewriting. We're all told that goto is evil. But we have some forms of addomesticated goto: next, last and redo, which are not evil. We're all told that code rewriting is evil. But I'm sure that there could be useful and not evil forms of code rewriting. Limbic~Region speaks about that in Doing "it" only once.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
