Not surprising. Piers Cawley is a long-time Perl heavyweight with intimate familiarity with Perl's development. In fact, he is an old hand at providing such snapshots of the state of Perl for the community. Piers' blog - lots of perly commentary; his use.perl journal; his writeups on Perl.com. Between the mind which plans and the hands which build, there must be a mediator... and this mediator must be the heart.	[reply]

Although it should be pointed out that these days Piers does a lot more Ruby than he does Perl... update: having reached the end of the article, I read that Piers is beginning to work with Perl again. If you've ever talked with him at a conference about Perl, you'll understand why I say: Yay! • another intruder with the mooring in the heart of the Perl	[reply]

From his bio: "Piers Cawley is a veteran Perl programmer with 10 years service who has spent the last couple of years in a lucrative dalliance with Ruby, but who is returning to the Perl fold for personal work. Between 2002 and 2005, he wrote regular summaries of activities in Perl 6 development for perl.com."	[reply]

I'm also getting redirected to heise.de. web.archive.org has snapshots of http://www.heise-online.co.uk/open/Healthcheck-Perl-The-Perl-Future--/features/112388/0 going back to 2016, all of which also do the same redirect. Is this supposed to be a recent article? Is it supposed to be accessible?	[reply]

is this supposed to be a recent article? jfc, you've been here 22 years and you don't know how to see the date (and time) on which a node was posted?	[reply]

You always look at the tiny little date if you arrive to a post through a recently made comment? ;-) It's a nice read though ... naively optimistic and funny. Jenda 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not a manual!	[reply]

From my profile: User since: Dec 30, 2013 at 20:33 UTC (11 years ago) If you meant me as someone who's been here 22 years, then neither of us knows what you're talking about.	[reply]

That link just redirects me to https://www.heise.de/ . It seems heise.co.uk is a thing of the past. Blame (Boris\|Brexit) Cheers, Sören Créateur des bugs mobiles - let loose once, run everywhere. (hooked on the Perl Programming language)	[reply]
