Message-ID: The Baltimore Perl Mongers' next meeting is tonight @ 7:00p.m. at the Community of Science Office building in Fells Point. For directions see http://www.cos.com/contact/directions.shtml I plan to give a presentation on a CVS reporting script I've been working on recently, and also lightly cover applying CVS to software development. For those who aren't familiar with CVS it is "Concurrent Versions System", an open-source, source-code repository that helps a group of developers to work concurrently on a software project. I'll bring homemade snacks and as always, our host Community of Science will provide soda.

I thought the news that perl is now ported to 70 platforms is pretty impressive.

ColdFusion 4.5, the leading Web app server, has the solution with an integrated suite of visual tools, powerful server technology, and an open language environment. Download your FREE evaluation copy today at http://ads.allaire.com/allaire/perl2.html ============================================================ Greetings, perl.com subscribers. This is Schuyler Erle, web hacker for the O'Reilly Network, and it is my honor and pleasure to bring you the latest www.perl.com newsletter. So, without further ado, here's what's new in the world of Perl. * Perl at large. Well, friends, it's been a relatively quiet week, which might be the sound of everyone hunkering down, and trying to break the latest trial release of 5.6.1. While there's no further word on that yet, we are meanwhile pleased to report that Perl has been ported to Yet Another operating system! Thanks to Rainer Keuchel, we now have a Windows CE port of Perl, bringing the total number of Perl-enabled operating systems to about 70. (Beat that, Java!) More info on the WinCE port can be found at: http://www.rainer-keuchel.de/software.html Also, Mark-Jason Dominus, Editor Emeritus of www.perl.com, has announced that he will be bringing the ever-popular Lightning Talks to this year's Perl Conference 5 in San Diego. If you've seen them before at yapc 19100, or even heard about them (such as Nat's infamous tongue-in-cheek rant on Python advocacy), then you know they can be a lot of fun. Mark-Jason will be accepting proposals for Lightning Talks until May 31st. If you've got anything you'd care to introduce in a five-minute presentation, you can find more details at his website: http://perl.plover.com/lightning-talks.html Finally, now that Damian Conway's gotten himself fully into gear on behalf of the Perl community for the coming year, he's begun touring and giving free talks at Perl Monger meetings, and so forth. He'll be speaking on Quantum::Superpositions in Silicon Valley this week, and on Lingua::Romana::Perligata in NYC next week. If you're in the vicinity of one of his scheduled presentations, go down and see him, especially if you haven't heard him lecture before. It's a real treat. You can keep up with his calendar on the Conway Channel at: http://yetanother.org/damian/ * What's new on www.perl.com? Brian Ingerson has done the ultimate in fulfilling Perl's promise as a glue language, with his Inline.pm module. Using Inline.pm, you can actually seamlessly embed C, C++, and even Python code into your Perl scripts, with support for even more languages on the way. In this week's feature article, Brian gives us the grand tour of Inline.pm, and also introduces his CPR utility, about which Adam "Ziggy" Turoff has been quoted as saying: "I feel like my head has just been wrapped around a brick." We're sure yours will, too. (Mine did.) Find out more at: http://www.perl.com/pub/2001/02/inline.html Once again, as always, the inimitable Simon Cozens fills us in on the recent and often miraculous doings of the perl5-porters, with his weekly digest. This week, Simon discusses CHECK blocks, work on select() under Win32, 'politically correct' internals hacking, and more. http://www.perl.com/pub/2001/02/p5pdigest/THISWEEK-20010206.html Finally, I'm pleased to report that the Perl documentation at http://www.perl.com/doc/ has been brought up to speed with CPAN. (CPAN seems to still have only the documentation for 5.005 available in HTML format at the moment, but we're working on that, too.) I want to thank Robert Spier for bringing this to our attention, and I feel compelled to point out that this is only one of the improvements that we've made, or plan to make, based on suggestions from our readers, and from members of the community. We produce www.perl.com as a resource for you, the Perl hacker -- so if there's something you'd like to see on the site, or something on the site that you think might be broken, and you'd like to see fixed, please contact us. Let us know. Help us make the a more informative and more useful tool for the community. You can send specific comments to me at schuyler@oreilly.com, and you can always send E-mail to our very own Chris Coleman at ccoleman@oreilly.com on general editorial subjects relating to www.perl.com. Until next week, fair Perl hackers! We now return you to your regularly scheduled E-mail.
