Too late ! ;)

In June this year, Neil Bowers initiated a collection of Perl quirks, or: "Perl: the WTF bits" on the P5P mailing list. The document is locked down while the Perl Steering Council are wading through the first round, but perhaps some entries in the list above have a chance to be deprecated, and eventually (read: before the end of this century) be eradicated from Perl. Or you might want to add them, once the collection reopens.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Thanks. I'll keep my eye on Neil's Perl Quirks locked down document and update this node when it's finally made public. Meanwhile, please feel free to add your suggestions to my initial list.

    Note to pollsters: please hold off creating a poll on this topic until Neil's document is made public.

    Update Oct 2022: The Perl Quirks document appears to be stalled. p5p mailing list refs:

    Looks like it won't make poll ideas quest 2022. Perhaps resurrect in 2023.

    Update Nov 2023: Given this document still appears to be stalled, it seems safe to assume that it will never be made public.
