It's not my understanding that the "Perl 7" idea suddenly gives license to be backwards incompatible. Instead, features that have been made available and gated in previous releases can be made default in a new major version.
- zem 6y agoyes, that's how they are starting off perl7, but the mere fact that it is given a different major version number gives them the social license to break stuff.
