I can say that at least currently, there is no appetite for Perl attempting to "reclaim" the Perl 6 version in the foreseeable future. It would be a disaster in both community relations and marketing. It will either be Perl 7 or Perl 34+.



Perl 2019


This one goes to 11

http://perl11.org/


And we'll keep that name and idea. 5 + 6 = 11, as it should have been


This has the benefit of showing that Perl gets a new version released every year.

I have previously stated that I would like it to be an alias of sorts.

    use v5.30;

    use v2019;
Basically have both of those lines do the same thing.

Perhaps even something like:

    use Perl v2019;
(I actually considered posting a module that would make that work.)
