in reply to ref() and Regexp

For what it's worth, REGEXP is now a first-class native type in bleadperl, which will see the light of day as 5.12. Which just goes to show that the reports of the death of Perl 5 are greatly exaggerated :)

    Perl5 isn't just supported, it's actively developed! p5p was talking about new features for 5.12 the day after 5.10 was released, if not the day of!

      Heh! Well, if it comes to that, features for 5.12 were already being discussed before 5.10 came out.
