Hi monks!
Today, I've read a great article here by Dave Rolsky. This is awesome article to describe the history of perl release, and I enjoyed reading.
But along with this reading, more confusion come into my mind, who leads perl5 develop? who determines if add X Y feature into perl5?
For example:
- does future perl has an optional type system for optimize other than runtime check?
- when can we use a reliable, standard perl module for pre-compile?
- built-in function signature and try::tiny?
- can create 1000+ fast,light, reliable threads easily without any crash like erlang
- etc etc.....
And here is a real problem. I deployed a program written in perl to many servers with perl5.12.2. But next month, perl 5.16 will be released, and as this 5.12 won't be supported soon. Do I need to upgrade my perl I installed even though new perl doesn't bring exciting features?
In nut shell
My question is, where I can find perl5 road map to know its plan? are there a perl5 speakman/woman to clarify all questions about perl development? Is there a place to allow perl5 programmer voting for their favorite modules into core list? because this answer could help us to determine if upgrade my perl or not.
I searched on google and browse perl foundation but don't find any clue.
Please enlighten me, Thanks
update: Thanks ww, correct some language mistakes ;)
I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).

are good places to start.
