What is the value of $foo if we call what_to_do()?

• Add $module to the core Perl language in a future v5 release


• Add $module to the core Perl distribution in a future v5 release


• Add $module to the core Perl language in a future major version release


• Add $module to the core language of a forked Perl distribution


• Publish $module to CPAN and see what happens


• Publish $module to CPAN and see what happens; meanwhile add one of the currently most-widely used OO packages to the core Perl distribution in a future v5 release, to get closer to $goal


• Other (please describe below)
