Some people have an instinctual dislike of things they've been told it's fashionable to hate. I resent that, because all programming languages are interesting in their own ways.
> It sounds like quite the ambitious project that you’ve nearly got working. Cool!
Oh it's already working, it just needs more polish :)
Check https://github.com/csdvrx/hdisk if you're interested
Actually, I'll try to submit it!
> That is not the sort of thing I’d expect someone to write in Perl, and I’m experiencing an odd mix of “that’s amazing!” and “what on earth were you thinking, my friend?!”

The Perl Foundation co-ordinates activities such as grants funding development, fundraising, and conference organizing. https://www.perlfoundation.org/
There are also a few senior Perl personalities still around such as brian d. foy who continue to write and update books and blogs.
The post-Larry Wall community seems to be doing ok so far. What is notably missing is more active participation from companies making the most use of Perl such as Craigslist or Duck Duck Go.
