- andybak 5y agoNot for want of trying! Perl is the granddaddy of the ill advised big rewrite ;)
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoI still have a perl book from 1994 (perl 5.0), and scripts written from the 90s to now, that still work without any issues, even on modern distros :)
- andybak 5y agoThat's not the point I was making. I was alluding to the Perl 6 story.
