But Perl is at the next level of unmaintained infrastructure. It is actually clear how you can contribute to it, but still no new community members actually want to contribute to it. Also, it's not only unmaintained by us but it's also pretty much unmaintained by the upstream community.
I am not happy with the state of Perl, as it has made some MAJOR missteps along the way, particularly in the last 5 years. But can we dispel this strawman? There is a difference between "unpopular" and "unmaintained". The latest version of Perl was released May 20, 2024. The latest release of Test::More was April 25, 2024. Both are heavily used. Just not as heavily as they used to be. :)
