I certainly hope no one ever upgrades Perl because they are "pressured" into it by deprecation policies. If they upgrade they should do so because Perl helps them solve a real-world problem and the new version does an even better job at it than the previous one. If anything, more frequent deprecations will mean more people staying on older versions because they can't afford to rewrite their code.Thread Previous | Thread Next
