( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I've just read the other suggestions. That kinda taints my answer, as I'd have said: "I'd want to remove (as far as possible), the inconsistencies and arcana that I'm no longer aware of because I've memorized them by now, but which took quite some time to learn".

Actually, I think the changes I'd most like to see revolve around making perl a bit friendlier towards functional and OO programming. Function/method definition and invocation could be less verbose. See for example Method::Signatures for a step in the right direction (Moose is lovely too, of course).

update: Oh, I forgot! I would absolutely love to have lvalue methods that work. I'm getting really tired of having to write $foo->bar( $foo->bar() + $wibble ). I'd like to be able to use more syntax than just ->() once in a while.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
