Issue #246 - 2016-04-11 - 15 years of Devel::Cover

You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.

It's easy to forget how lucky we are with some of the tools and systems we have available to use as Perl developers. We were reminded of two such pearls this week:
Paul Johnson reminded us that we have one of the best test coverage tools of any language. And then Buddy Burden shows why CPAN Testers is so useful.

PerlModules.net is a site that notifies you whenever your favorite Perl
modules get updated. Up till now it only provided RSS feed, but from now on
you can also get e-mail notification. I wonder if the is, or will be other
forms of notifications. E.g. on IRC. Twitter, Slack?

Corion shows us the tools he is using to clean up the mess. Basically a set
of tests he uses for his CPAN modules. Some nice suggestions there, though
I think I'd also add a test using Perl::Critic and one using Perl::Tidy.

Rick, who has been the Pumpking of Perl 5 for 4.5 years, but now he has
decided to move on. Apparently not everyone was happy with the job Rik did,
but I think it is more than unfortunate that some people decide to attack
him now in a comment on Reddit
