The Corinna project is a proposal to "Bring Modern OO to the Core of Perl".

Some of the more important pages in the Corinna project:

https://github.com/Ovid/Cor — for tracking the RFC for the Corinna MVP OOP proposal
- the wiki is where a lot of the activity goes on
  - The "overview of Corinna project" page is... not good as a short overview — the main sections run to 4500 words. But it is still a good page.
  - The "The Proposal" section on the main page is a good list of links.
- the list of contributors includes many people who are important in the Perl community †
Curtis Poe (AKA 'Ovid') is one of the central organizers of the project:
- YouTube presentation on Corinna
- ovid.github.io/tags/corinna.html — Ovid's blog
- articles on dev.to/ovid/ — 2021-05-01, 2021-05-12, 2022-04-20
the actual RFC submission, with the discussion that ensued with members of the PSC (Perl Steering Council) and others
- (see also — Perl's RFC process)
- apparently Paul Evans (LeoNerd) is the one doing most of the actual development (side note — this is one of the few people who tend to work on Perl's tokenizer/parser)
- it mentions Object::Pad as a CPAN module that provides an early-access peek into the actual syntax
endorsements / criticisms by important people in the community:
- Damian Conway strongly endorses it
