These are at the top of my list. Sooner or later big Perl advocates
(like myself) are going to look for other languages because the future
is too uncertain and unstable.
Also, in terms of module rewriting: This is a massive effort. I don't
know if anybody's looked at the internals of stuff like Class::DBI and
its derivatives, but it's huge.
The fact that there's not alot of active p5p'ers on this list should
alarm people more.
