Indeed, there are plenty of businesses that still use pneumatic tubes that were installed decades ago. But how many new offices are built including them? And how many businesses have started using them recently?

Similarly, there are plenty of scripts that have used CGI.pm for years, and there's no real pressing need for them to stop, but it doesn't seem right to recommend CGI.pm for new development.

I think the analogy is rather apt.

package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name
