New "dot" feature
I wrote the following email to the Perl 5 Porters mailing list a few days ago. I thought you might enjoy it.
Hello Porters,I had a dream that Perl 5 had moved from using -> to using . like most modern languages. And moved the existing . for concatenation to ~ like Perl 6. Then I wrote the code and was shocked how tiny it was.
I have this in the leonbrocard/dot branch, but is is really one commit:
Léon Brocard (aka acme) is an orange-loving Perl eurohacker with many varied contributions to the Perl community, including the GraphViz module on the CPAN. YAPC::Europe was all his fault. He is still looking for a Perl Monger group he can start which begins with the letter 'D'.
