I await the upcoming E12 with as much anticipation as I did A12. And while I am aware that it will be at least a couple months before we see it, I wanted to make sure no one would miss this by TheDamian and quoted here in full:

Hmmmmmm. Given that Larry and the rest of us worked very hard to design a syntax and semantics that specifically *improves* the maintainability of OO Perl code, we'd certainly appreciate feedback on those bits you feel will still be total nightmares to maintain. If nothing else, I'd like to get a handle on what people are troubled by in A12, so I can better address their concerns in E12.

Anyhow I felt it deserved to be a top level node. (so it would be easier to follow the public feedback, in at least this forum.)

Edited by Chady -- fixed TheDamian link.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
