Where possible, we should be modularizing core features. +1 * 4 I've been on perl5-porters for about two decades now. I've seen many comings and goings, plans and fallout, highs and lows. In recent years I've watched with growing delight at the renewed life on perl5-porters. The heart of the community. The very center of the Onion. I'd like to thank you Jesse for your commitment and thoughful leadership. And I'd like to thank the many people who have contributed to perl, and the many who have made new contributors welcome here.
