So making it go in the core may just mean that it's
on the list of recommended modules to install.
Does that mean having to use Some::Module to use it?
Not necessarily. Glop, on which I'm doing a presentation at OSCON (have
to plug it sometime ;-), makes use of an idiom

Short version: I'm considering dropping the exit code feature from the

instead. Does anyone find this feature useful or otherwise wish to
protest its removal in 0.50?

At the moment the focus seems very much on packaging. That's fine, but
it does mean that correctly packaged junk looks pretty good. In time,
some more metrics would be good. Some suggestions:

That's pretty much what map is, except that xxx is

Huh?!? While not so bad (apart the unicode operator

There is a strong leaning towards including *no*
builtin modules with the core. So, that leaves only
the builtin functions and classes as the core, and
so what is in core becomes a pretty big

albeit it took *evil* hacks to simulate MMD inheritance. We have 2

like in this test the compare function of a base class is changed at

I define outside the core as anything that isn't
packaged with Perl itself. Things you'd define as
part of the language. I/O stuff, threading stuff,
standard types, builtin functions, etc. And yeah,
most of that stuff will be written natively in C,
PIR, or be part of parrot itself.
