forwarded, from your dutiful list moderator. By the way, no-one showed up at last night's "meeting" but I did read the first few chapters of "Learning XML" and found it to be a solid summary of internet standards culture :) -------- Original Message -------- Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: (qmail 86586 invoked from network); 18 Jan 2002 00:53:13 -0000 Received: from tipjar.com (128.121.115.38)by hilbert.umkc.edu with SMTP; 18 Jan 2002 00:53:13 -0000 Received: from paprika.oreillynet.com ([208.201.239.10]) by tipjar.com id g0I0r9839449; Thu, 17 Jan 2002 17:53:09 -0700 (MST) X-Received-For: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Received: (qmail 8720 invoked by alias); 18 Jan 2002 00:27:53 -0000 Mailing-List: contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk X-No-Archive: yes List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Subscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "Perl.com Newsletter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Delivered-To: mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: moderator for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: (qmail 28625 invoked from network); 18 Jan 2002 00:14:16 -0000 To: "Perl Newsletter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Perl.com: Apocalypse 4 Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2002 16:17:09 -0800 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain;charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mozilla-Status: 8001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-UIDL: 1011315193.86587.hilbert.umkc.edu Perl.com update -------------------------------------- The Email for www.perl.com Subscribers =========================================================== Sponsored by VeriSign - The Value of Trust It's time to protect your e-commerce transactions with SERIOUS security!

This is Simon Cozens, managing editor of www.perl.com, here to bring you the week's news and developments both in the Perl world and on our own site. * Perl at large. First, a quick, serious word for users of ActiveState's Perl Dev Kit - there's a bug in PerlCtrl which has the potential to delete arbitrary parts of your filesystem. If you use PerlCtrl, be extra careful, and check out the advisory on AS's bugs page: http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19041 This week I discovered something that I've been looking for for quite some time: a pure-Perl content management system. It's called Bricolage, and the team has just released version 1.2.0 with a raft of new features. Based on Mason and mod_perl, it could well give Zope a run for its money yet... (And we'll be talking to Sam Tregar from Bricolage in a couple of weeks.) http://bricolage.thepirtgroup.com/ And everything else in the Perl world is pretty quiet, mainly because a vast majority of the movers and shakers managed to get themselves on a boat in the Caribbean. But we're not jealous, are we? No, of course not. http://www.geekcruises.com/ * What's new on perl.com Parrot now has regular expressions! Bryan Warnock, as usual, has the scoop! http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/01/p6pdigest/20020112.html And the moment we've all been waiting for, the fourth in the series of Apocalypses, the revelations of the design of Perl 6. This time, Larry talks "all about blocks". I don't want to give too much of the good stuff away, but it looks like Perl 6 is going to be a lot neater, and much, much more consistent than Perl 5 - without actually looking that different. Read on to see how he does it... http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/01/15/apo4.html Enjoy, SC ============================================================ The 4th O'Reilly Open Source Convention, July 22-26, 2002 Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina The Call for Participation is now live--Individuals and companies are invited to submit proposals http://conferences.oreillynet.com/os2002/ Mark Your Calendar - Registration Begins April 1, 2002 ============================================================ *** Featured Articles *** Apocalypse 4 In his latest article explaining the design of Perl 6, Larry Wall tackles the syntax of the language. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/01/15/apo4.html *** This Week on Perl 6 (6 - 12 Jan 2002) Parrot has Regexp support!
