I'm so glad this is happening. I'm particularly interested in seeing this work its way through to Linux distribution vendors. Ubuntu 20.04 comes with Perl 5.30. I'd love to see a future release using Perl 7, or 8. I'd love to see this happen in Redhat/Centos, etc, as well. Those of use who use Perl a lot are comfortable installing our own version, but making a current version be the one the rest of the world sees, and having that version have sane defaults, that's going to be a step forward. The other thing I've really appreciated is seeing Perl development to be working through Github instead of RT. In 2020, if you want your project to be accessible to potential contributors, and to be used, it should probably be on Github. So good work, to those who have made the decision to jump versions, and who got Perl development moved to a modern source code repository. Dave
