[Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] #137 - Your Perlweekly News, Now 1 Hour Earlier

Mon Mar 10 01:43:46 PDT 2014

Perl Weekly 

http://perlweekly.com/

You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
http://perlweekly.com/archive/137.html

 With the Spring equinox creeping in on us, we have entered Daylight Saving
Time season, this hallowed time of the year where all developers dealing
with international software renew their love with timezone arithmetic.
Well, even though the week was one hour shorter for some of us, we still
have a rather well-furnished newsletter this week. Different summer
internship organizations are beginning to stir, we have discussions on
Gittip and the Perl community, as well as on Perl6 on CPAN, and we have of
course our usual stream of modules and projects. Enjoy! ~ `/anick

Discussion

  Why I finally joined Gittip and why you should, too
  http://bit.ly/1iqmtxU

  Gittip. Probably not the best way to become a software millionaire, but it
  sure provides a nice way to give and receive motivational pats in the
  back. David Golden joined the site, and argues why you should too.
  --------------

  Installing CPAN modules
  http://bit.ly/1iqmrWG

  Somebody wants to tip their toe in the Perl world and try out a program
  with dependencies... they should go with the usual perlbrew/cpanminus
  combo, right? Well, maybe not. Dave Cross thinks going with the system
  perl and the local package manager might be a better approach, and
  explains why.
  --------------

  Perl 6 and CPAN? Well...
  http://bit.ly/1iqmrWJ

  Should Perl 6 modules be put on CPAN? Maybe... Maybe not... There are quite
  a few subtle headaches associated with having the Perl 5 and Perl 6
  sisters share the same room.

  Lightweight data aggregation and visualization
  http://bit.ly/1iqmtOf

  What do you do if you want to collect and visualize some data? If you're
  Marcel Gruenauer, you build a little something using Web::Machine,
  App::Cmd, DBIx::Class, PSGI and D3.js.
  --------------

  Named captures in regular expressions are slow
  http://bit.ly/1iqmrWQ

  There are no free lunches, according to Marcel Gruenauer's benchmarks.
  Named captures are easier on the eye and mind, but they do come with a
  performance cost.
  --------------

  A Less Smart Smartmatch
  http://bit.ly/1iqmrWT

  A while ago, Toby Inkster came up with a simpler smartmatch. Now, it also
  comes in an XS variety, for extra speed.
  --------------

  PPI and Unicode
  http://bit.ly/1iqmsd9

  Perl deals rather magnificiently with unicode-based  variables. PPI? Not so
  much, as Dave Jacoby found out.
  --------------

Fun

  Exobrain setup is now even easier!
  http://bit.ly/1iqmsdj

  Paul Fenwick pursues his quest for the perfect exobrain. This time around,
  he tweaks its architecture such that	its lobes are now independent
  components. Which, amongst other things, reduces drastically the number
  of dependencies of the core Exobrain.
