What do you think about making (me) a new version of this here https://learnxinyminutes.com/docs/perl/
(I like the way the most important features of a programming language are summarized)
where modern Perl features are explained (e.g. subroutine's formal parameters etc.)?
What else would you like to see in such a short introduction without wanting to include everything that has been available in Perl for some time?

- In the "sub" section, show the the version with signatures, stable since v5.36.
I was going to suggest addition of a blurb about try-catch(-finally), but even for v5.40 that is listed as "partly experimental" 😫

in reply to Paul Evans • • •That warning also lists that “try” feature could be removed.
If that is not so, then perhaps the warning ought to be more specific.
