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?

by Max Maischein (CORION <https://metacpan.org/author/CORION>)

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.

<https://metacpan.org/author/RJBS>)

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
<https://www.reddit.com/r/perl/comments/4etcq4/rik_signes_to_step_down_as_pumpking/>.

If you wonder what is a Pumpking, or if that is even a word, check out what
Rik, the outgoing Pumpking says about it.

Dave is planning on a day of training before YAPC Europe in Transylvania,
but still has not decided about what. So what training would you attend? It
is only pity that the conference itself does not have a web site.
