Really neat stuff, but i agree that most application would'nt want or need to use this stuff...
I wonder, how perl compares here with other languages....
In what way are you comparing Perl with other languages? In that most applications won't need dynamic dispatch, dynamic code loading, huge amounts of introspection?

Or in Perl's need to use such tricks? Or that Perl can in fact do such tricks? Or that Perl has a different sort of ratio of programs that need such tricks to those that don't? And would that be less, or more?

Please narrow the boundaries of your desire for comparison. {grin}
