Why do people think Perl's outdated?
Until Python/Ruby get a port of Keyword::Declare Perl's niche stays unquestioned.

I don't know much about Perl, but I am actually interested. Maybe I'll look into it :]

Not sure I see the utility for that module though, what separates that from using a regular function?

I'm curious, what does Keyword::Declare do?

.

@Zaphod65 you are right, keywords are technically just functions.
But if you don't write while(()=>...,()=>{...}) in Js, you know it isn't that way in reality.

@henne it allows you to declare keywords.

I've been programming for a few years now and until now I've never heard of keyword::declare - even now that I now it, I have not encountered a situation in which I thought to myself: "damn, could I only declare my own keyword here!"

which leads to the fact that - to me - your argument is not very convincing.
