Re^5: Why should any one use/learn Perl 6?

I wrote, and lost, a long reply to this. TL;DR: the DICOM and HL7 code available in Perl is either nearly useless toy code (DICOM) or extremely limited in functionality and spec coverage (HL7). I am super glad to see folks putting effort into it though.

Is there a Perl bounty program? Could be ad-hoc. Like: how much would it cost to bring Perl's DICOM and HL7 modules into compliance? Maybe it's worth $5k to someone to see that happen. You say it costs $10k because you need a new boat. Kickstart that and next thing you know its up to $20k. Stranger things happen every day...	[reply]
