I realize there is a range of acceptable criticism within a community, and Perl has a community that is probably more inclusive than most. However, "show me the patch" is a bit of a cop out. Don't get me wrong; it is a defensable position, but a willingness dismiss everyone without a fix makes it more likely they will go elsewhere. Look at (Common) Lisp.

P.S.
I love Perl and Lisp, but people tend to get defensive about sore spots. I sometimes think that it would have been easier on everyone to introduce Perl 6 as "concept car", rather than an upgrade path.
