Perl Weekly Issue #40 - April 30, 2012 - Perl 5.16.0 is coming soon! You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. Hi, It was late Sunday evening when I was trying to put together this edition and I was way too tired for this. At one point I noticed I was going over the same items I did last week. Clearly I need a better way to manage the links I collect. It is on its way but other tasks constantly get in front of it. For this issue, I had to reduce the amount of comments so I could finish it before midnight. BTW Miguel Prz (niceperl) started a new weekly posting. This time with his MetaCPAN favourites. Now to the posts: Headlines Perl 5.16.0 is coming soon! If Perl is an important tool in your toolbox then follow what Ricardo SIGNES is asking you and test it. Before the release! Announcements Padre 0.96 has been released... After another long release cycle, Peter Lavender reports the new version of Padre. Two more and we arrive at the magical 1.00 release. Send A Newbie The new round of the Send a Newbie to YAPC program was announced by Mark Keating. (i) MetaCPAN favourites weekly report This is the second weekly blog post published by Miguel Prz (niceperl). In this one he is listing the modules that gained the most +-es on MetaCPAN. Articles Speed up by a factor of 6 million Carl Mäsak looks at a Perl 6 script that arrives to the same solution as his C program but 6 million times faster. That sounds crazy but interesting. He discusses the Perl 5 solution written by Salvador Fandino and then provides a Perl 6 solution to the same problem. Ubic - status report 'Ubic is a polymorphic service manager which makes creating daemons easy, while being extensible in a several different ways' writes Vyacheslav Matjukhin after a long break in reporting about his module. He mixes a big dose of technical update with information on talks showing the project and ideas about reaching out to potential users. Not only Perl developers. RT fixes for Perl DBD::Oracle and request for people using TAF Martin Evans This is why I love Template Toolkit Aaron Trevena learns about the META directive of TT. Alien::Base Perl Foundation Grant Report Month 2 by Joel Berger Embrace the Little Conveniences Do you use File::Slurp or write your own slurp() function? Do you use Proc::Fork or call fork() by yourself? What does chromatic do? Before you write a patch, write an email Andy Lester offers his opinion on how to approach an open source project with patches. I am not sure. I think, while this make sense, is in contradiction with the earlier message: 'code speaks'. So what do you think? Testing Perl Hackathon QA 2012 Apparently the flow of reports from the QA Hackathons still has not dryed up. This time Geistteufel, the celogeek, wrote up a few words and add links to some pictures. Code Websockets in nginx-perl A few simple examples by Alexandr Gomoliako. How do you pass the PostData argument to the Navigate method of IWebBrowser2 using Win32::OLE? by Sinan Unur Fun My personalized Perl bumper sticker Ron Savage has a a Perl-powered Toyota hybrid! Ninja Code That's just scary. (The second post of Chris Grau) Perl devroom @FOSDEM2012: photos Claudio Ramirez El-Che Perl 6 The Perl 6 Hackathon is over, but the reports have not ended yet Revenge of the Oslo hackathon Carl Mäsak breaks a month of blog-silence and writes about the Perl 6 hackathon in Oslo from his point of view. Back from Oslo Tadeusz Sosnierz (tadzik) discovered that the Perl 6 Hackathon is better than bacon with maasdamer. Or at least on the same level. I think I am not supposed to comment on this. Perl 6 Hackathon in Oslo: Report From The Second Day by Moritz Lenz Post-hackathon thoughts by Jan Ingvoldstad Rakudo Star 2012.04 - a useful, usable, 'early adopter' distribution of Perl 6 Training Dave Cross announced his free Perl training in London which 'sold out' in a few hours. There is no point to link to it, but it is interesting to mention. Apparently, free sells well :). Post-mortem Linguistics in Zurich by Damian Conway. Tuesday May 8, 2012. Quantum-Relativistic Time-Travel in Lisbon by Damian Conway. Thursday May 3, 2012 The self promotion section Splice to slice and dice arrays in Perl Part of the Perl Maven tutorial/book.
