I know this is considered a naughty word in some places, but I am wondering
if there is a roadmap or a plan for the continued development of the Perl 5
language.
I'm not trying to step on toes or to upset anyone. I'm also not trying to
usurp any position. I'm genuinely interested in any long-term plans that
exist for the language.
* Is there a list of features that had been decided to be added to core?
* I know there are complaints about the tests. Is there a plan on how to
improve them?
* Are there any long-term changes desired? I know CoW went in some time
ago. Anything like that?
* Is the documentation where we want it? Is someone herding those efforts?
* I remember Yves Orton mentioning his grief with the XS interface. Are
there plans for formalizing and solidifying how to handle some of the warts
he mentioned?
* Do we know how we want Perl 5 to look like 5-10 years from now?
Thanks,
Sawyer.
