Perl Weekly <http://perlweekly.com/> Issue #40 - April 30, 2012 - Perl 5.16.0 is coming soon! You can read the newsletter on the web<http://perlweekly.com/archive/40.html>, 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! <http://bit.ly/ImiYcB> 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... <http://bit.ly/Jk0Bk7> 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 <http://bit.ly/Jk3gtS> The new round of the Send a Newbie to YAPC program was announced by Mark Keating. (i) MetaCPAN favourites weekly report <http://bit.ly/ImdnF5> 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 <http://bit.ly/JjVLmI> 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 <http://bit.ly/JTyTBp> '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<http://bit.ly/IeK9Cc> Martin Evans This is why I love Template Toolkit <http://bit.ly/JTE5VO> Aaron Trevena learns about the META directive of TT. Alien::Base Perl Foundation Grant Report Month 2 <http://bit.ly/JTSpLd> by Joel Berger Embrace the Little Conveniences <http://bit.ly/ImfvuD> 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 <http://bit.ly/IyrJCC> 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 <http://bit.ly/Ig1Rqk> 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 <http://bit.ly/Ijrurc> A few simple examples by Alexandr Gomoliako. How do you pass the PostData argument to the Navigate method of IWebBrowser2 using Win32::OLE? <http://bit.ly/Knw6zi> by Sinan Unur Fun My personalized Perl bumper sticker <http://bit.ly/JKBPiN> Ron Savage has a a Perl-powered Toyota hybrid! Ninja Code <http://bit.ly/IjwzzK> That's just scary. (The second post of Chris Grau) Perl devroom @FOSDEM2012: photos <http://bit.ly/JTXqn5> Claudio Ramirez El-Che Perl 6 The Perl 6 Hackathon is over, but the reports have not ended yet Revenge of the Oslo hackathon <http://bit.ly/JuQdKz> 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 <http://bit.ly/IeLFEu> 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 <http://bit.ly/IjssDL> by Moritz Lenz Post-hackathon thoughts <http://bit.ly/ICmLyf> by Jan Ingvoldstad Rakudo Star 2012.04 - a useful, usable, 'early adopter' distribution of Perl 6 <http://bit.ly/ImhsHo> 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 <http://bit.ly/JiOk1U> by Damian Conway. Tuesday May 8, 2012. Quantum-Relativistic Time-Travel in Lisbon <http://bit.ly/IgbTb3> by Damian Conway. Thursday May 3, 2012 The self promotion section Splice to slice and dice arrays in Perl <http://bit.ly/JiXCLv> Part of the Perl Maven tutorial/book. Facebook vs Google+ for Perl projects <http://bit.ly/Koc4k6> Listing the pages and comparing number of followers. If you are on either of those social networks, you might want to check out what pages you could follow. Events I usually include 3-4 of the nearest events. If your's is not here, I might not know about it. Let me know about it!
