During the French Perl Workshop, David Landgren (the current p5p summarizer) made a long presentation about what's new in Perl 5.10. My reaction to it:

Perl 5 is the only programming language that inherits from the future!


Err, Python?

Python has "from __future__ import"

Yes and Python has had it for a long long time. Tim Peters is often accused of having a time machine. I think that was his name anyway.
