……近在眼前……事实上恰恰相反，Perl5 的世界里现在正在发生很多很酷的事情（看看 Moose、MooseX::Declare 等等）。所以也许你应该升级一下你的骆驼书，或者看看 Damian Conway 的《Perl Best Practices》。另外多关注一下 http://www.modernperlbooks.com 。至于 Perl6/Rakudo……根本不用等，它已经来了！显然它仍处于“beta”阶段，但这不应妨碍你下载下来玩玩……

>> [Perl 无法维护] 所有语言都需要编码规范。据我所知，大多数用 Perl 的公司都采用 Conway 的《Perl Best Practices》，并结合一些本地改动。去读读《Modern Perl》等书吧。难道你不知道这些新进展吗？PBP 也不算什么新东西了。我觉得在遵循最佳实践的情况下，根本就不存在这些问题吧？……

我也会把 Damian Conway 的《Perl Best Practices》加到那个 Perl 必读清单里。
I would also add "Perl Best Practices" by Damian Conway to that must-read Perl list.
