"The standard Perl library will be almost entirely removed. The point of this
is to force ISPs to believe that Perl is essentially useless on its own, and
hence they will need to install additional modlues. Pragmatic modules will
have more freedom to warp Perl's syntax and semantics, and will also provide
real optimization hints.
Larry suggested that the standard module library could be downloaded basically
on demand; there will be a few modules which support basic built-in
functionality and their documentation. "
