Multi-threading
$AUTOLOAD. Hmm.
consistent semantics for exit/die in threads
SvREFCNT_dec(curstack) in threadstart() in Thread.xs
better support for externally created threads
Thread::Pool
spot-check globals like statcache and global GVs for thread-safety
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
header-space: move into CORE/perl/
API-space: begin list of things that constitute public api
MULTIPLICITY support
complete work on safe recursive interpreters, C<Perl->new()>
revisit extra implicit arg that provides curthread/curinterp context
Configure
make configuring+building away from source directory work (VPATH et al)
_r support
cross-compilation configuring
mmap support
POSIX 1003.1 1996 Edition support
Locales
locales across packages
decimal separator (3,1415927 is Europeanese for an approximation of pi)
Regexen
POSIX [:foo:] character classes
([=bar=] and [.zap.] would nice too but there's no API for them)
approximate matching
Reliable Signals
alternate runops() for signal despatch
figure out how to die() in delayed sighandler
add tests for Thread::Signal
Win32 stuff
get PERL_OBJECT building under gcc
get PERL_OBJECT building on non-win32
automate generation of 'protected' prototypes for CPerlObj
rename new headers to be consistent with the rest
sort out the spawnvp() mess
work out DLL versioning
style-check
Miscellaneous
rename and alter ISA.pm
magic_setisa should be made to update %FIELDS [???]
add new modules (Archive::Tar, Compress::Zlib, CPAN::FTP?)
fix pod2html to generate relative URLs
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
