I don't know which version of the FAQ you're looking at, but it's old.
No matter, the latest stuff is always at http://faq.perl.org .

The perlfaq is now in a subversion repository at
https://svn.perl.org/modules/perlfaq/trunk/ . You can checkout your
working copy and look at the NEEDED_BUT_UNMADE_CHANGES for a start.

Two major areas that need attention:

1. Go through perlfaq4 and update all the Date processing examples for
current practice. That probably means showing DateTime examples where
appropriate.

2. Go through perlfaq5 and update the regex examples to use the new
regex features of perl5.10.

Good luck :)
