Here we are, on the last stretch of the year. While the blog front might
be on the quiet side, the different advent calendars are abuzz with
activity. Some elves are also keeping themselves quite busy if the first
reports of the 'patch -p1' hackaton are to be trusted. So go fill your hot
cocoa mug, and prepare to enjoy this small, but oh-so-cozy, edition of the
PerlWeekly. ~ `/anick
