in reply to Ansi Perl
You've read 'perldoc -q ANSI', don't you? This is not just to give you an RTFM-like answer, it's just to stress that with Perl it's like this. I mean it's obvious that we all like it as it is, with its inconsistencies and its magic dwimmeries. There have been non-backwards compatible changes in the past and all sort of things like these, but we also have an extremely powerful language and we can rely on continuous evolution. So in some sense standardization is not in the spirit of Perl. In some sense it could be beneficial, in some other sense it would be all but beneficial: it's once more a matter of personal tastes IMHO. I prefer it like it is FWIW!
