This is Simon Cozens, www.perl.com managing editor, bringing you the latest goings on from the world of Perl and our own site. * Perl at large. As reported last week, Perl is progressing steadily towards Perl 5.8.0. Jarkko's released Perl 5.7.3, the last developer release before 5.8.0. Now's the time to pick it up, experiment with it and see if you can break it before the new stable release. http://www.cpan.org/src/perl-5.7.3.tar.gz http://archive.develooper.com/perl5-porters@perl.org/msg74215.html A warning for those using WWW::Search-style modules: Google has requested that WWW::Search::Google be removed from CPAN, as it was linked to some violations of their terms of service. Basically, most web search sites don't mind well-behaved scraper modules, but it's horribly easy to write a badly-behaved one. Be careful and be courteous out there. Here's the full story: http://use.perl.org/articles/02/03/01/1641208.shtml And finally, how about a Perl song? http://glasnost.itcarlow.ie/~barryp/perlsong.html * What's new on www.perl.com? Bryan Warnock brings us coverage of what's been going on with Perl 6 development for the past few weeks. We've seen information about the .NET CLR and what it means for Parrot people; how topicalizers work in Perl 6; and someone having a rant about the lack of Parrot Design Documents... oh, that was me... http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/p6pdigest/20020302.html Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam... No, it's not an introduction to Python for Perl programmers, (although I hope to bring you one of those soon) but a guide to escaping that ever-present nuisance of online life these days, junk email. SpamAssassin and Vipul's Razor are two tools that are extremely effective in the fight against spam, and they're both pure Perl. This week's article shows you how to deploy them and make your inbox just that little bit emptier. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/06/spam.html Enjoy!

This might be because you've chosen a data structure or algorithm that takes a long time to run. By rethinking how you've implemented a function, you might be able to realize huge gains in speed. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/02/12/bigo.html ===================================================================== Free Macromedia JRUN 4 Trial!
