One idea is to bundle a package of tools and example scripts
much like what used to be called KPL for Kids Programming Language.
by Microsoft, now called Phrogram, I think. Making Perl
more accessible and fun for newbies, and kids.
One of the comments mentioned developing more Games with Perl.
One of my pipe dreams is to be able to use Perl, instead of or as well =
as Python,
to program and control Blender 3D and its game engine.

RE: Decentralize, diversify and colonize
An intelligent collection of thoughts, definitely. The "colonize" =
section reminded me of something that I heard at work: "Well, we need to =
continue using Perl, otherwise we'd be f*****!" I know that's viewing =
the power of Perl from the other side, but with a small development =
department you really can't have a better tool than the Perl programming =
language.
That's my 50 =F8rer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%98re
;-)

Decentralize, diversify and colonize
I've collected many of my thoughts on how Perl needs to move forward.
