 The first Release Candidate (RC release) of the next perl 5 is on CPAN,
and unless anything terrible comes up, 5.20 might very well hit the street
as early as next week. This week, in the new and spiffy department, we have
new dependency graphs on MetaCPAN, a report on the state of the ongoing
perl-mop projects, and even a Vim plugin that might make this editor feel
like a young thing again. Enjoy! ~ `/anick 

GitTip profile of the week
GitTip allows you to give a regular weekly monetary gift to people in order
  to encourage them to do more of the awesome stuff they have been doing.
  The gifts can be as low as 1 cent a week. In this section every week you
  will see a different Perl developer we recommend you support. Oh, and the
  Perl Weekly itself also has a GitTip account
  ("https://www.gittip.com/PerlWeekly/").

  Ovid is a long-standing member of the Perl community. He blogs, wrote books
  ("http://amzn.to/1j11Vu5"), and did amazing work for the Perl testing
  toolchain (he's amongst things responsible for Test::Class::Moose
  ("http://bit.ly/1j11Vub")). Outside the Perl sphere, he also maintains a
  second blog providing tips and pointers to expat workers.
