Honestly I don't think we need to fixate on the core compiler. If the compiler had a new release once a year it really wouldn't matter. Perl 5.x releases new versions less often than once a year, and that wasn't what killed Perl take-up (it was the Osborne Effect around Perl 6 which did that, combined with O'Reilly dropping financial support). What's needed is activity in all the other areas around the compiler - I listed a few in my other response. Rich. -- Richard Jones Red Hat
