I agree with you! Perl community is great - but never say never - there is always room for improvement. Perl (IMHO) needs not just standards but many more things (that are more or less related to standards). Things like better advocacy (in general - not just for enterprises), more schools/universities teaching Perl and maybe even some sort of certification. But when you think about it, all that would come as a result of increased interest of enterprise market? O and maybe it's just me - but I had a hard time when I started learning Perl. Somehow I feel that real beginners in Perl don't have enough quality sources - and even those that exist aren't promoted well. And then it ends up in people trying to read get/post params by hand (CGI.pm) or trying to make sort of templating system with regexp for each variable you want to include (HTML::Template) working directly with flat text databases (DBI.pm) ... Well it's how I started :) Only good thing about it was the feeling that I had when I found out about those things in () and how Perl is even better than I thought before that :)
