Re^2: Control Structures

I'm curious where ~~you think~~ the ideas for perl 6 came from? Any chance they might have picked up on the desires of the perl community and used those? Since perl 6 is no where near set in stone I would think now is the perfect time to voice opinions on what might be usefull in future versions of perl.

Modified language ever so slightly. Larry wall or not, just because there are plans for Perl6 doesn't mean that opening up discusion on control structures and what people would like changed is "amuzing." Maybe that statment wasn't meant as a slight (maybe i shouldn't respond in the middle of the night ;) ). Either way I think that Larry of all people should be supporting any type of community discussion on the matter even if its not in the "proper" channels mentioned in the following replies. Either way its just my two cents.

TimToedady is Larry Wall. Perl6 is the community rewrite of perl. There have been many RFCs and much discussion, and Perl6 has already been designed. artist is late to the game, and hasn't bothered to do an ounce of research.	[reply]

I don't think the OP is saying "we want these things in Perl6 or else!", s/he is just opening a discussion on control structures in Perl5. I think the discussion is more about Perl5, and the limitations we work within, rather than what should be added into the language (in either version).	[reply]

As Anonymous Monk said, largely too late. Perl6 dev site RFC's (community requests) design docs synopses	[reply]
