own site.
* Perl at large.
Waiting for Perl 5.8? Jarkko Hietaniemi has released his roadmap
for 5.8.0-to-be.
'... a slightly less ambitious plan follows:
2002-03-04 Monday 5.7.3
2002-03-25 Monday Code Freeze for RC1
2002-04-08 Monday RC1
Code Freeze still means "small targeted bug fixes okay".'

* What's new on www.perl.com?
In the first article in a new series from Stas Bekman, we look at
what the mod_perl Apache plugin is and what it can do for you.
I've recently been playing with some of the advanced features of
mod_perl and I've been impressed at how much it's simplified all
aspects of dealing with Apache - from the configuration right
through to content delivery. We're particularly glad to have these
articles from Stas, a noted mod_perl hacker, to explain the many
things you can do with mod_perl.

Why mod_perl?
In the first of a series of articles from mod_perl guru, Stas
Bekman, we begin by taking a look at what mod_perl is and what it
can do for us.

Preventing Cross-site Scripting Attacks In Your Web Applications

secure our sites against Cross-Site Scripting attacks using mod_perl
and Apache::TaintRequest.

Optimizing Your Perl
Is your perl program taking too long to run? This might be because
you've chosen a data structure or algorithm that takes a long time
to run. By rethinking how you've implemented a function, you might
be able to realize huge gains in speed.

Visual Perl
Most Perl programmers are die-hard command line freaks, but those
coming to Perl on Windows may be used to a more graphical way to
edit programs. We asked the lead developer of the new Visual Perl
plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio to tell us the advantages of a
graphical IDE.
