Since the language formerly known as Perl 6 has officially gone off on its own, has there been any effort to implement a true Perl 5 successor?
In my opinion, Raku tried to do too much with the syntax itself, scaled Perl's flexibility to infinity, and made itself unusable.
Perl 5 does not need much for it to become a "modern" language. Instead of extending the flexibility of the syntax, the direction for Perl 6 should emphasize standardizing core utilities to facilitate integration with modern workflows.
- Package/module management and import/export could benefit from streamlining
- Stronger LSP and debug/error tooling (Rust has spoiled me)
- "Prettier" auto-formatting for source code (For those 30yo system scripts, you know the ones I mean)
What would be on your wishlist?

I've been writing an example web application using Dancer2.
Well, I say I've been writing it. Actually, I've been specifying it and GitHub Copilot Workspace has been writing the code. It has been interesting (and, rather more successful than I expected).
I shall continue with the experiment.

Hi. I want to update a perl module (Spreadsheet::ParseExcel) from v0.65 to v0.66. I've transferred the module on the target machine. However, "make", "dmake", and "gmake" are all not available as methods to install this module, neither is cpan. The machine is completely isolated from the internet and absolutely cannot be modified to connect. How would I go about updating such a module without using the usual installation methods? Essentially, my question is that can I replace the ParseExcel(.)pm file and ParseExcel folder manually with no issues? Appreciate any help.
