The perlmonks site, and perl itself, seems to follow the lazy developer vein. It's not bad as a general practice, but not it's horrid as an absolute one.

1) If you want something badly, do it yourself. Most monks, myself included, won't do anything w/o insentive.

2) perlmonk's code is in the db. read that again. there's no source repository you can download it from. Sure, they diffs are IN the db, but you can't download it and hack at it. It's a case of the tools inhibiting the developer. perl itself seems to have this problem.

Honesetly, your request will only teach you to query for pmdev status and then have to be very self motivated. There's no comradeship to help promote ideas.

You won't see shiny new ideas implemented much here, outside of modules. The effort to make things pleasant is just not there.
