 The year is slowly drawing to a close. Advent calendars are being taken
out of their moth ball-scented boxes, and some of us are trying to get
ahead in term of New Year resolutions. For your pleasure this week, a wide
variety of articles, going from the new release of dear old frameworks, to
the exploration of new shells, to the interaction of Perl with Cloud
Computing/Big Data via MongoDB, Iron.IO and Oozie. Enjoy! ~ `/anick

  that sound oddly familiar? Anyway, now there's a nifty Mojolicious
  plugin that helps to keep that bedlam a little more normalized.

  arcane scribbling for us.
