Do they have to enter the modern world and compete with the modern languages?
Personally, I’d like them to focus on shell scripting and tool making. (But that’s what I use Perl for, so of course I’d say that)

- b2gills 6y agoIronically making it more modern may make things like shell scripting easier. Let's say that Perl gets a real type system, and reflection capabilities. Then I can see something like this come to exist: use v7; use GetOpt::MAIN; sub MAIN ( str $name, int $count ) { say $name for 1..$count }
