Maybe the past proposals just weren't good enough...or radical enough. I think we have an opportunity here with Perl 6 and 6PAN. The ball has been taken and run with on so many other fronts (just look at Apoc. 5!). Why not here too? > Imho there's not much more we can tell people apart from "be smart, and don't > call your CGI handling bit CGI.pm". The problem is that the directive to "be smart" quickly expands to "be omniscient." I think it's unreasonable to require extensive knowledge of the 6PAN module hierarchy in order to safely create your own custom modules. And that's not even considering cross-pollination of custom code. This is a solvable problem. We shouldn't just throw up our hands based on past failures. -JohnThread Previous | Thread Next
