If you cannot rewrite Perl and make it a better language, there is no reason for you to expect the community will be rewritten in a positive way. Language is the reason we join the community, not the opposite.
99% of the people who want to rewrite Perl are current Perl users. There is not much reason to expect the community to be changed before the language is changed, or during the time the language is expected to be changed.
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
