This is plainly untrue. See the "perlsub" documentation, which talks about "creating your own syntax" with the & prototype. You can do all this in Perl 5, and it saddens me that some of the people redesigning Perl don't know what Perl can do. -- Look, there are only a few billion people in the world, right? And they can only possibly know a few thousand bits of information not known by someone else, right? So the human race will never have a real need for more than a few terabits of storage, except possibly as cache. - Geraint Jones
