Re^2: Modern Perl and the Future of Perl

Oh wow, I don't think it's the "style enforcement" at all as much as that the main books are a little dated. Programming Perl 3rd ed was y2k! Am I missing a later version?

The people that are really into style enforcement already moved to python.

I respectfully disagree. Many of us who use Perl care very much about good style and maintainable code, and some more guidance in the books would be helpful.	[reply]

Style and style enforcement are two different things. Perl does not enforce style in any meaningful way.	[reply]

And I'm saying I would love to see more style enforcement in perl, so your supposition that no one wants it is not correct.	[reply]
