Articles

  
  Is a strong caution about Heartbleed worth the disruption to distributions with a declared dependency on Crypt::SSLeay?
  http://bit.ly/1r72kSl
 
  Sinan Unur has been quite busy discussing the fallout from the Heartbleed
  OpenSSL bug and how it relates to Perl.
  --------------

  
  Does your code really depend on Crypt::SSLeay?
  http://bit.ly/1r72kSy
 
  
  --------------

  
  Introducing fsql and chart
  http://bit.ly/1r72mtF
 
  Two command-line utilities to help you slice/dice and visualize data from
  CSV files on the console.
  --------------

  
  I still hate email
  http://bit.ly/1r72mJU
 
  Not exactly Perl, but if you are into sending e-mails, then you might want
  to read this from Ricardo Signes.
  --------------

  

=============

Testing

  
  CPANdeps pass/fail display now working again
  http://bit.ly/1r72n0r
 
  CPANdeps ("http://bit.ly/1r72lpl") lets you see the test results of all the
  dependencies of a given module in a single page.
  --------------

  

=============

Code

  
  Sending email in Perl
  http://bit.ly/1r72lFQ
 
  It's funny to see a web-site titled 'PHP Developer' publishing articles on
  how to do things in Perl. This one is using Email::Sender::Simple and
  Email::Simple to send an e-mail.
  --------------

  
  Learning the Perl Debugger: Lesson 3
  http://bit.ly/1r72n0A
 
  In this part we see the use of s - step in, n - step over, r - step out,
  and c - continue running.
  --------------

  
  Passing arguments
  http://bit.ly/1r72n0F
 
  Sebastian Willing compares 8 different ways for passing arguments to a
  function checking their speed.
  --------------

  

=============

Web

  
  Codecube.io Now Supports Perl
  http://bit.ly/1r72ngU
 
  Codecube.io is another web site that allows you to run arbitrary code via
  the web page. Now, thanks to Eric Johnson, it also supports Perl.
  --------------

  

=============

CPAN

  
  Adopting DateTime::Format::Mail
  http://bit.ly/1r72oBu
 
  More than 10 years after Iain Truskett, the original author of this module
  has passed away, and after it changed hands several time, BooK (aka.
  Philippe Bruhat) adopts the module. The little we can do to preserve the
  memory of the people who have contributed to the Perl world.
  --------------

  
  Release often
  http://bit.ly/1r72oBA
 
  Maybe releasing a CPAN module every day is crazy, but Neil Bowers puts his
  hand on something that is extremely difficult to do and very valuable:
  persistence. He has decided to release a new version of a CPAN module
  every day, but he also offers a bunch of less involved tasks that us,
  mere mortals, can stick to. So if you'd like to reach something just make
  sure you make a step every day. An alternative to this idea came from
  Eric Johnson recommending to write code every day
  ("http://bit.ly/1r72oBv").
  --------------

  
  Maintainer's Notes on rt.cpan.org
  http://bit.ly/1r72oBH
 
  Did you know, that you, as a CPAN author, can put a banner text on the top
  of the RT pages of your modules? That can be a very good way to tell
  users of your code how, and where to submit bug reports.

  --------------

  
  Racing to writeness to wrongness leads
  http://bit.ly/1r72pp2
 
  Jonathan Worthington writes about C# and how he implemented threading in
  Perl 6 running on top of the JVM. It isn't easy to read, but as usual it
  is filled with sentences like this one: 'If anything, we want such
  inevitably unreliable programs to reliably fail, not reliably pretend to
  work.'
  --------------

  
  About Those Slangs...
  http://bit.ly/1r72nOa
 
  
  --------------

  
  New Perl6 game: RetroRacer
