personally I think perl5 is heading in the right direction. The fact that some developers use undocumented or unsupported (hidden) features start complaining when they get fixed or reaped is by no means a measure of quality.

Personally I have blocked *all* modules written by the author of that blog for several reasons. One of them is that he does not follow the "rules" for writing CPAN modules from the start (like requiring a C compiler newer than what perl5 itself requires).

Even if his modules are actually good, his level of support (or better, the absence of it), revokes his right to complain completely.

Your opinion may differ, but you asked for opinions.

perl6 is mostly fun, and you can learn an awful lot from it. For me it is not production ready for just two reasons: 1. speed, 2. usable documentation. Documentation is worked hard on right now, but speed is not quite what I hoped it would be.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
