Re: Resource protection and Perl 6

[valdez]

Java hasn't honoured itself many times and needs third party tools, that are continously improving. Python is growing as well, and so does PHP, that announced a new major release (next summer iirc). Apache is slowing changing, without any kind of problem; people using mod_perl is patiently waiting for version 2.0.

Every tool needs to grow, but Michael G Schwern wrote in http://archive.develooper.com/[e-mail]/msg00834.html:

*** You will NOT have to rewrite your Perl 5 programs ***

citing Larry Wall, Apocolypse 1. Is it enough? ;-)

Ciao, Valerio

Thank you for the link, and it definitely tackles my shop's concern. I would distribute this link to others.

Let's fight for Perl, and fight for our open source principle.

All the other posts here are very informative and helpful, I will organize all your thoughts presented in this thread into a presentation to my co-workers.

My thanks to everyone.

Sincerely yours,
