"experimental" means "might change in a later version of perl", but that's fine for files shipped with perl itself. We can effectively ignore that status. If the feature does change then the file shipped with perl can just be changed to accommodate it. "experimental" means that someone somewhere has to experiment with it. If nobody does, then the status is effectively meaningless. Who better to experiment with it than ourselves? > > Who wants to help us out with this? > > What are some example files you have in mind? I assume dual-life/CPAN > modules would not be part of this migration? See my reply to James Raspass, but in summary: most of ext/ and lib/ ought to be fair game here. Avoid anything under dist/ or cpan/ because they are dual-life indeed. -- Paul "LeoNerd" Evans leonerd@leonerd.org.uk | https://metacpan.org/author/PEVANS http://www.leonerd.org.uk/ | https://www.tindie.com/stores/leonerd/Thread Previous | Thread Next
