Yeah, I forgot about Catalyst true... Moose though is an example of what should just be part of the language. I'm glad to hear that Perl 6 will be doing some of what I want, it'll be a good start. But Perl really really needs the kinds of things that people want to use modern languages for. It's still so geared for processing data files (of various sorts), and most of what I see in Perl 6 seems to target this problem in various ways. Don't get me wrong, Perl is my preferred language, I can crank out a Perl solution to a problem about as fast as I can type it. But when I really want to push the project larger, the language doesn't really do much to help you.
