That's fair, although it's a little hard to tell if the lack of new
features is because they are not needed for a stable, mature project, or
because few people are asking for and developing new features. Probably a
bit of both. But I'll be the first to admit Perl is dying; I just don't
know what should replace it (or how - or when). Python has its quirks, but
all languages do, and your claim that it will encourage more and easier
test writing by developers is a good one.
Cheers,
Greg
