Perl far from dead, more popular than you think
,----[ Quote ]
| Perl has been around since 1987 and became an
| early darling of web developers. These days,
| however, you donât hear much about Perl.
| Everyone seems to be talking about trendier
| languages like PHP, Python and Ruby, with Perl
| left in the back as a neglected, not-so-hip
| cousin.
|
| [...]
|
| In short, Perl is alive and kicking. A new
| version, Perl 6, is on its way but still under
| development. Although Perl may never recapture
| its glory days of the early Web in the â90s,
| it isnât dying on us anytime soon. It has
| become the gray-haired distinguished old
| gentleman next to the young hotheads like
| Python and PHP.

| For the last 6 weeks or so, a bunch of us have

| In short, a man-in-the-middle can use SSL
| renegotiation to inject an arbitrary prefix

Perl 6 due in spring 2010 - some of it anyway
,----[ Quote ]
| In a recent entry on his blog, Patrick Michaud has again confirmed the news
| which has been circulating this week in light of his presentation at
| the "YAPC::Europe 2009" conference in Lisbon, Portugal â Rakudo Perl 6 will
| be released in the spring of 2010 (with all of the signs pointing to April).
| Michaud is the 'Pumpking' (keeper of the pumpkin patches - think 'release
| manager') for the Rakudo Perl 6 compiler, designed to run on the Parrot
| virtual machine.

Perl6 Slated for Release by Spring 2010

Perl 6 development: Parrot 1.0 has arrived
,----[ Quote ]
| The developers of version 6 of the Perl scripting language have released
| version 1.0 of the Parrot virtual machine on which the Rakudo Perl 6
| implementation will run. Parrot, unlike Perl 5, keeps compiler and runtime
| separate. It will also support other dynamic languages in the future. The
| developers describe the new version as a more stable platform for
| implementing Perl 6.
