coolq48277yI 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?

ac123511477y@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. -
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.
