Here's a couple of related new ones that fall out of something I'm working on:
- The ability to pass anonymous blocks to subroutines in positions other than the first.
Ie. Drop the requirement for the sub keyword. Possibly only if the recipient sub is prototyped to take sub references: eg. sub someSub (&&&) {
my @coderefs = @_;
...
}
- The ability to pass bare expressions as parameters to user subs.
In the same way as map & grep can take an expression that is executed repetitively within the context of the function: eg: @array = map sqrt( $_ ), 1 .. 10;
I've no idea if either is actually feasible, but if you don't ask, you'll never know.
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

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.
