Yesterday was Perl 20th birthday. Perl 5.10 was released in conjunction to the birthday.
Perl 5.10 full of new features that i am yet to test out. Features like named captures in regular expressions, state variables for subroutines, the defined-or operator, a switch statement (called given-when, though), a faster regex engine, and more. Isn't it coool?

Heard that Perl6 is on the way. Hope it will be a great breakthrough. All the best Perl. I love you.
