I'm covering that with a slide based on chromatic's blog post http://www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2009/07/milestones-in-the-perl-renaissance.html (I've taken a few minor liberties with the dates, so don't get picky.) Milestones in the Perl Renaissance 2001: Lexical file-handles, Test::Simple 2002: Module::Build, Test::Builder, 2003: PAR, Perl 5.8.1 2004: Perl 6 Apocalypse 12 (Roles), CPANTS 2005: PPI, Perl::Critic 2006: CPAN Testers, Moose, Strawberry Perl 2007: Devel::Declare, local::lib 2008: Padre, Enlightened Perl Organization 2009: Iron Man Blogging Challenge with a speaker note of All this happened after the Perl 6 project was announced. Modern Perl, 21st Century Perl, is very different to 20th Century Perl. Tim.
