• 2011.09.28 in #10 On Perl and backward compatibilities
  There is a tension between wanting to keep backward compatibility and developing Perl or a CPAN module fast. Tatsuhiko Miyagawa gives a good example pointing out the issue in the dependency chain and then points to 'carton', his solution for the problem.
• 2011.10.14 in #12 Carton CPAN dependency manager

• 2012.10.19 in #65 MakeMaker, dev releases, perl 5.16 and Carton
  Perl 5.16 and 5.16.1 are shipped with a developer release of ExtUtils::MakeMaker and there is no newer version CPAN. This sometimes breaks Carton. Tatsuhiko Miyagawa is a nice guy, so he phrases in a very nice way how p5p and the authors of the core modules could avoid such problems. I am just surprised how can this happen? Why is there no policy in p5p that they only ship with productions modules that have been released to CPAN?

• 2018.04.25 in #353 Perl Toolchain Summit 2018
  Working on toolchain is a hard job, since you have to support all the old versions of the software, and will be blamed and criticized for “fixing broken features” because people are relying on these broken features.

  This is why Perl Toolchain Summit is so valuable so that I can get together with these people, exchange ideas and get a great moral support.
