I submitted a patch last night to p5p that implements //, but it's too late to make it into 5.8. However, everyone thinks it's really cool, so there's a very good chance it'll be in 5.10. (One person suggested that we fork off 5.9 right now so the patch would apply, but everyone else (including me) thinks that it'd be more trouble than it's worth to keep it in sync with the 5.8 release candidates, which should start coming out Real Soon Now.)
Needless to say, I'm happy--it's the first time I've ever patched the core and they're already excited. :^) I thought I'd get a few "oh, that's cool"s, some style critiques, and enough experience to confidently patch the core--not the first feature for the next version of the language.

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).
