In my opinion, no, an EOL is not being discussed. What is being discussed is the excitement brewing from the all the work that has transpired via the Modern Perl movement. We have modern web frameworks (Mojolicious, Dancer, PSGI/Plack); YEARLY releases of Perl 5; CPAN has never been easier to work with (cpanm, cpanfile, carton); a healthy and supportive community; and modern infrastructure to work with OO (e.g. Moose). There are several of other things I haven't mentioned. For example, if you want to try a web app with one of the latest perls: $ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tokuhirom/Perl-Build/master/perl-build | perl - 5.20.3 /opt/perl-5.20 $ curl -L https://cpanmin.us | /opt/perl-5.20/bin/perl - App::cpanminus Mojolicious $ /opt/perl-5.20/bin/mojo generate lite_app all_the_awesome.pl $ /opt/perl-5.20/bin/perl all_the_awesome.pl daemon ... Goto a browser and visit http://127.0.0.1:3000 http://127.0.0.1:3000 The above command assumes you have a system perl that can bootstrap your user perl into /opt/perl-5.20. Thank you for asking.
