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. :)

Cheers,
Greg
