there are 397 basic perl OP's. Giving each a week? That's take looooooong.

I wasn't suggesting we do them all. If there was any interest from p5p, we could pick the most critical or convoluted ops to start.

There is also no reason to restrict ourselves to one weekend or even one week. If a chosen op produces lots of interest and makes good progress, keep it going; otherwise if no interest, kick it to touch and pick another. Or perhaps post half a dozen and just let people hack on them until they've either reached some level that is suitable for feeding back to p5p and then replace it; or if no good progress is made, replace.

I admit it was a half-baked idea as presented; but I wasn't going to waste too much time on it unless there was a reasonable level of interest; and not too much opposition.

So far I'd sum up the interest as: Meh.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
