How much does standarisation(language standarisation) flies in the face of spirit (and practice) of perl?
<p>
I once had friend who avoided perl because 'there's no such thing as ANSI perl', and I think he had a point.
It would be nice to have such 'certfified', functional standard core. This would enable one to work on this core without constant contact and feedback from community.
<p>For example, one could take 'ANSI Perl' book, a year off, go to a deserted island, and create mini-ponnie.
<p>But, would it even be at all beneficial?
<p><b>UPDATE:</b> I'm not advocating starting formal ANSI costly comitee, I use <b>'ANSI Perl'</b> as allegory.
