Would you find it interesting to receive one email each week which highlights a specific module on CPAN? Learn about handy modules you didn't know existed by signing up to the CPAN Weekly mailing list => http://cpan-weekly.org The first email has been sent out today and the featured module is Text::Table::Tiny. If you use one of the lesser-known modules yourself and think it deserves wider exposure, drop the list maintainer a message to say why it should be featured and it will be considered for future editions. -- Tommy Butler -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
