This week is exceptionally good for the beginners amongst us. Not only the
new edition of Modern Perl is out, but we also have quite a few tutorials.
Not that the more experience reader won't have their fill; new version of
GitHub-like GitPrep being released, Moose article aggregation, survey of
the new modules for March... there should be enough to keep everybody
happy. Enjoy! ~ `/anick
Announcements

http://bit.ly/1mTJYEZ
No rest for the wicked, nor staleness for the modernists. The 2014 edition
of chromatic's 'Modern Perl' is out.
--------------
GitPrep 1.6 is released - Time zone support, Charset support, and improvement of markdown
http://bit.ly/1mTJYVe
A new version of GitPrep is out, announces Yuki Kimoto, and it had some
nice features and, as the screenshots shows, looks darn good.

Articles
Planet Moose - March 2014
http://bit.ly/1mSBdYR
What's up in the extended world of Moose in March? Nothing major, but a lot
of little things. Toby Inkster has the details, and the links.
--------------
use diagnostics; or use splain
http://bit.ly/1mSBdYS
Gabor Szabo reminds us that Perl can explain itself in more details, if we
ask nicely.
--------------
Learning the Perl debugger: Lesson 1
http://bit.ly/1mSBdYT
Don't already know the Perl debugger? Shame on you... But today's your
lucky day: Chisel presents here a primer on this fundamental tool.
--------------
What's new on CPAN - March 2014
http://bit.ly/1mSBf2Z
David Farrell gives us here a curated list of the interesting new modules
that appeared on CPAN in March. Lots of nifty treasures in there.
--------------
Solved mystery - perl on XAMPP won't run modified scripts "End of script output before headers"
http://bit.ly/1mSBf30
Debugging is often a foray on the very brim of the cliffs of sanity. Lech
Baczynksi tells us of his adventures when he had to lean over and peek at
the chasm below...
--------------
Fixing CPAN links on Stack Overflow
http://bit.ly/1mTJYVf
When answering a question on Stack Overflow, one can link to Perl modules
in a way that will break once the module gets updated in the future
(which makes us all sad), or in a way that will let all future
generations enjoy the bestest and latest version of the module forever.
Gabor shows us the difference.
--------------
Carrying (mini)CPAN
http://bit.ly/1mTJZJ2
minicpan is a wonderful tool to have your own local copy of CPAN's latest
releases. fishy shows how he uses it to always have his CPAN on a
thumbdrive with him.

Discussion
Do not use each
http://bit.ly/1mTJZJ3
"To each his own" folk wisdom tells us. Reini Urban would beg to differ,
and warn us of the pitfalls of the 'each' iterator.

Code
Perl web application security - HTTP headers
http://bit.ly/1mTJYVg
Security can be hard. But sometimes, it can be as easy as adding a wee
little line to your HTTP header. David Farrell demonstrates.
--------------
Python's decorators in Perl
http://bit.ly/1mSBfjt
Programming in Perl, but missing Python's decorators? Fear not, Piotr
Roszatycki has something for you!
--------------
Asynchronous web services with PSGI and IO::Async
http://bit.ly/1mTJZZi
When writing web services, asynchronous programming is almost certainly
bound to come into the picture. Usually, it's nicely abstracted by a web
framework. But, as dakkar shows here, rolling your own is not as painful
as one would think.
--------------
Perl Encryption Primer: Passwords
http://bit.ly/1mSBfjy
From the Wumpus Cave, Timm Murray walks us to the crypt(), and then
through the various better encryption solutions out there.
--------------
Custom DBIx::Class ResultSets
http://bit.ly/1mSBevT
DBIx::Class's resultset classes are often slim, logic-less affairs. But
Ovid shows us here how they can also be used to create a much smarter
interaction with the database.
--------------
The Onion Stand: Perl Dancer on Media Temple (gs)
http://bit.ly/1mSBfzV
