I don't think that this has anything to do with Perl specifically, I
think that anything that doesn't change significantly for 10 years is
not going to be seen as flashy. It's not that it's bad, it's just the
way that things work. The VW bug was a great car, but after a
production run of some 70 years, it's not the most exciting car
anymore. Still fun, sure, useful, yes, but flashy, new and exciting...
no. I think that Perl is just like the VW Bug, a wonderful innovation
thats useful enough to stick around. Were going to be writing Perl for
years to come because it works.
I guess I don't see what all the fuss is about.
