cperl is interesting, but how long will the effort be kept up?
cperl has been around for ~7 years (2012) and the last 4 commits are only 5 days old:
69,204 commits
155 branches
320 releases
433 contributors
There are many stable releases and, as I understand it, the author has a point to prove about p5p (perl11.org/blog/p5p-incompetence.html). I think it's safe to say this fork of Perl is here to stay.
From a practical point of view, it seems most of its advantages require coding for cperl, rather than as a performance enhanced runtime alternative to perl.
AFAIK cperl is 99% compatible with CPAN, rperl is the "re-strict-ed" one: twitter.com/rperlcompiler
