Hi,

Last week ("http://perlweekly.com/archive/157.html") I mentioned a pay-only
article in the Linux Magazine. Since then the article was made free to
read.

Other than this, just enjoy the articles or your summer vacation.

Announcements

  Perl is at the bottom of the chart at Silicon MilkRoundabout, a recruitment
  fair for techies.
  --------------

  Method Privacy in Perl
  http://bit.ly/1olg33V

  Have you ever stepped on your own toe by mistake? Perl does not enforce any
  level of privacy of methods. Toby Inkster borrowed the names of various
  levels of privacy (callable/overrideable/etc) from .NET and explains how
  they might be used in Perl.
  --------------

  Planet Moose - July 2014
  http://bit.ly/1olg33X

  biggest item is the release of Mite, a Moose-like OO framework that
  compiles to a string of Perl code.

  http://bit.ly/1olg33Y

  appreciated.

  Plack::App::* namespace is not for apps - so which is the proper CPAN namespace ?
  http://bit.ly/1olg47M

  Laurent Dami is trying to navigate among the various contradicting 'CPAN
  naming principles'. How should you name your module? How should you name
  an application? Can it be uploaded to CPAN? - My take on the subject: use
  a branded top-level name and don't rely only on CPAN as distribution
  channel. Also build stand-alone packages that can be downloaded from the
  branded(!) web site of the project.
  --------------

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

CPAN

  Give your module a good SEE ALSO section
  http://bit.ly/1olg47Q

  To give you further ideas how to improve the documentation of your CPAN
  modules, Neil Bowers suggests to list the other modules solving similar
  tasks and explain each one of them in a sentence or two. - IMHO this
  could be an excellent opportunity for non-authors too, to contribute to
  CPAN, and the Open Source Perl ecosystem.
  --------------

  CPAN Day is 16th August

  Neil Bowers correcting the date...

  Get 'CPANTS clean' on CPAN Day
  http://bit.ly/1olg3kf

  CPANTS is the Kwalitee metric of CPAN modules. It has not been in the
  limelight recently, so the CPAN Day (on Sat, August 16) might be a good
  opportunity to look at it again.
