While I don't actually work in Perl these days, and not by choice, I still keep an eye on the community. The language is chugging along nicely. Perl 6 is out, so at least that joke has died down, features are being added, some beneficiary, some not. All is well in perland.
Then the news dropped. Perl 7. I was very interested. More so when I realised that it was a rebranding of the latest Perl. First, let me say one thing right off the bat. It's a good call. I'm all for it. In fact, I'm so all for it that ="https://blogs.perl.org/users/erez_schatz/2011/06/it-was-bound-to-happen--…
What benefits Perl provide to users?
Who is the Perl user?
What are the strengths of Perl?
Where do people find Perl?
These are the basic elements of Marketing.
Would you like to get one user instead of the top of TIBOE?
TIBOE provides rankings with a biased perspective.
A few leading engineers understand that TIBOE has no value
Many dishonest media continue to introduce TIBOE ranking.
Rather than getting the top of the biased ranking,
Wouldn't it be better to get one excellent and sincere engineer?
Marketing is not to mislead people.
Low quality marketing is done around the world, but there is no reason for Perl users to join it.
High quality marketing looks at the mind of a o…

Temptation and desires will make us lost.
Where is Perl going after Raku begins to take a different path?
Raku provides new values.
Perl provides traditional and conservative values.
If you lead Perl to Raku, Perl will fail.
If you ask Raku for Perl, Raku will fail.
When we talk, we need to be aware of the difference between Raku and Perl.
We are lost.
Those who like traditional Perl have respected SUPER and bless.
Those who aim for Raku have thought that SUPER and bless are failu…
At first, see the following entry.
Our company goes into many other companies and helps them build new Perl systems or fix old ones. Needless to say, we see how many companies work and a typical example is one of our clients I'll call "AlphaCorp." They use lots and lots of Perl. Their primary web site is almost entirely Perl. So when I went in to help them with their A/B testing (amongst other things), I was surprised that they also used a lot of Python. It turns o…

Day one here at the SPW coming home again the Florian in Olten CH.
Liz was very passionate about Perl6 and it was a little sad to hear her story the state of Perl 5 and Perl 6 but we can always hope.
I was up next and was a little flustered to go up next to one of the legends but I think my talk on the history of routes and my personal style of writing route when ok, at least the crowd la…
It has been about 25 years since the release of 5.000 (1994), we (The Perl Shop) are thinking about creating an infographic for the Perl 5.30.0 release. This infographic would be an advocacy item aimed at casual Perl users and people outside the community, rather than day-to-day users who would largely be familiar with Perl trivia.
The idea would be to h…
