* At least it has function prototypes.
|
|
* It's pretty painless, syntax-wise, to build a multidimensional array.
|
|
* file(), at least when it works.
|

|
* They finally got around to adding closures. It's flat-out amazing what this does for the language.

As annoying as one-package-one-file can occasionally be in the Perl universe, I suddenly find that it is really nice to have a predictable directory structure emerge naturally from the hierarchy of modules/classes.
