+Unicode support
+    finish byte <-> utf8 and localencoding <-> utf8 conversions 
+    make "$bytestr$charstr" do the right conversion
+    add Unicode::Map equivivalent to core
+    add support for I/O disciplines
+        - open(F, "<!crlf!utf16", $file)
+	- binmode(STDIN, "<!crlf!utf16")?
+	- a way to set the "system" discipline (binmode("!crlf!utf16") maybe?)
+	- nice IO::Filter module to push/pop disciplines
+    eliminate need for "use utf8;"
+    support C<print v1.2.3>
+    make C<v123> mean C<chr(123)> (if !exists(&v123))
+    autoload utf8_heavy.pl's swash routines in swash_init()
+
+Multi-threading
+    support "use Thread;" under useithreads
+    add mechanism to:
+      - create new interpreter in a different thread
+      - exchange data between interpreters/threads
+      - share namespaces between interpreters/threads
+    work out consistent semantics for exit/die in threads
+    support for externally created threads?
+    Thread::Pool?
+
+Compiler
+    auto-produce executable
+    typed lexicals should affect B::CC::load_pad
+    workarounds to help Win32
+    END blocks need saving in compiled output
+    _AUTOLOAD prodding
+    fix comppadlist (names in comppad_name can have fake SvCUR
+	from where newASSIGNOP steals the field)
+
+Namespace cleanup
+    CPP-space:	  restrict what we export from headers when !PERL_CORE
+    header-space: move into CORE/perl/?
+    API-space:    complete the list of things that constitute public api
+
+Configure
+    make configuring+building away from source directory work (VPATH et al)
+    _r support
+    cross-compilation configuring
+    POSIX 1003.1 1996 Edition support
+
+Locales
+    deprecate traditional/legacy locales?
+    figure out how to support Unicode locales
+    locales across packages?
+
+Regexen
+   make RE engine thread-safe
+   POSIX [=bar=] and [.zap.] would nice too but there's no API for them
+   (=bar= could be done with Unicode, though)
+   approximate matching
+
+Reliable Signals
+    custom opcodes
+    alternate runops() for signal despatch
+    figure out how to die() in delayed sighandler
+    make Thread::Signal work under useithreads
+
+Win32 stuff
+    sort out the spawnvp() mess for system('a','b','c') compatibility
+    work out DLL versioning
+
+Miscellaneous
+    magic_setisa should be made to update %FIELDS [???]
+    add new modules (Archive::Tar, Compress::Zlib, CPAN::FTP?)
+    replace pod2html with new PodtoHtml? (requires other modules from CPAN)
+    automate testing with large parts of CPAN
+
+Ongoing
+    keep filenames 8.3 friendly, where feasible
+    upgrade to newer versions of all independently maintained modules
+    comprehensive perldelta.pod
+
+Documentation
+    describe new age patterns
+    update perl{guts,call,embed,xs} with additions, changes to API
+    document Win32 choices
+    spot-check all new modules for completeness
+    better docs for pack()/unpack()
+    reorg tutorials vs. reference sections
