e no point in re-inventing strftime
(perhaps well, perhaps badly) as a perl language core element.
I certainly see great benefit in including a nice date/time module, but
that's a topic for [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.

But surely not as a part of the core lang
to be available. It's quite possible that other date/time functions may
be part of the standard library too.

I submit this is at least as clear as the __ version.
So I'd like to encourage folks to consider whether adding some sort of
(optional) macro language (perlpp ?) to perl6 would be worthwhile.

If (please note I said "If" here--I'm not arguing for or against the
proposal) it would be useful to configure perl, then I strongly would
argue that such configuration ought to be localized to just a very few
files under perl's control.

Once either of those solutions is implemented, then then it's a simple
matter for pod tools using it instead of $/ (or whatever).
Since you made this proposal, would you be willing to pursue either
of these options further?

"too painful" is, of course, a judgment call. I do use the
read/unpack/modify/pack/print cycle a fair amount dealing with image data.
I guess I'd say working around RFC 258 might be annoying but not painful.

I agree this is a non-issue for this RFC.[*]

s for
my previous reports on the subject.
For example, removing time() from the perl5 core means excising the
following from pp_sys.c:
PP(pp_time)
{
djSP; dTARGET;
XPUSHi( time(Null(Time_t*)) );
RETURN;
}
and replacing it by the appropriate auto-loading glue. This
it -- there's not really
much to discuss.

Zip uses the same compress method as gzip. In fact gzip's author,
Jean-loup Gailly, is also a prominent contributor to InfoZip -- the group
behind Zip and Unzip.
I don't see any licensing advantage to gzip over zip or vice-versa.

Most of those survived the perl4->perl5 transition intact. I'd hope the
same can be said for the perl5->perl6 transition.

continue in that tradition.
Let's leave -e alone for now and worry about handling specific

worry about.

More readable than the already-supporrted -M7 ? Do we *really*
need a new command-line option that is one character shorter than an
existing command-line option that can do exactly the same thing?
