FYI: I've been doing a lot of of work speccing out Cor, an object system for the Perl core.
You can read about it on the wiki. There are also extensive links on different pages for people to provide feedback.
Per discussion with Sawyer, the current Perl pumpking, the current plan is that Cor will go into the Perl core. Unlike previous attempts, this one looks like it will really happen. So get your feedback in now.
To give you a little taste, here's a simple LRU cache written in Cor.
class Cache::LRU {
use Hash::Ordered;
has $cache :handles(get) :builder;
has $max_size :new(optional) :reader :isa(PositiveInt) = 20;
has $created :reader = time;
method _build_cache () { Hash::Ordered->new }
method set ( $key, $value ) {
if ( $cache->exists($key) ) {
$cache->delete($key);
}
elsif ( $cache->keys > $max_size ) {
$cache->shift;
}
$cache->set( $key, $value ); # new values in front
}
}
Also, holy carp! I've had an account here for 20 years!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
