It is Amazing what a community can do when it pulls together and believe in something. I am glad to see this happen
Indeed it is. This in itself is part of the benefit that the Perl Community will gain from doing this, Damians undoubted good work notwithstanding, the realization that a community of like minded individuals with a common interest can achieve xomething that will benefit both themselves and others as yet unknown to them is in itself a good thing. The model that has been created here by YAS will begin to accrue benefits throughout the Open Source community, not simply limited to the Perl Programming language
The first one is how does any change in Perl halp me to overcome the natural obstacles that are built into IPv4.
Surely the problem is with IPv4 itself, perhaps you might be better put asking this question of some OS hackers that they might fix your problems or sooner implement IPv6
Of course, and as usual, I am sure that patches to IO::Socket to meet your concerns are certainly welcomed
It's all about the hits. Just think of the amount of people reading this on Slashdot who'd be tempted to click on the link to find out who they are.
There is far too much cynicism and paranoia here, whilst I couldnt confirm that the motives of Blackstar were 100% altruistic, I do know that they feel that they owe some debt to the Perl community having built the infrastructire of their business upon the labours of untold and unanmed people in that community.
Sure they are going to gain some kudos from this, and sure they are going to get some extra hits from it, but I am convinced that the greater benefit they will accrue, and I am sure they are aware of this, is from what will be achieved from their contribution in the development of Perl programming language and from the development of the Perl Community that will be a result of this group effort.
The most cynical tack I would take on this is that it will encourage more talented Perl programmers to want to work for them, and if so more power to their elbow.
I think if they were simpl aiming for a few more hits they would have piucked a more high profile venue to make their mark

Watcom is fast and will host on DOS/Win16/Win32/OS2 for DOS/Win16/Win32/OS2/Novell/Autocad/QnX targets - surely a worthy thing ...
