GitTip profile of the week
I stopped including GitTip links as they seemed to have only minimal
  impact, but if you think you'd want to tip the editors of the newsletter

Articles

  How should conference speakers be compensated?
  http://bit.ly/1ylRcD3

  brian d foy explains how the Master Classes he started to run at
  YAPC::Chicago in 2006 helped financing some of the speakers. IMHO, as I
  also wrote already ("http://bit.ly/1cfoBom") this is a win-win and such
  training classes can even help sponsoring other parts of the conference.
  --------------

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

Discussion

  Mojolicious - Perl real-time web framework

  A long thread of discussion on HackerNews that of course diverges to the

Testing

  Rescue legacy code with modulinos
  http://bit.ly/1ylRedT

  Modulino is a Perl module that can be also used as a script. brian d foy
  explains how this feature can be used to convert scripts into modules and
  make it easier to start testing them.
  --------------

  Check your test coverage with Devel::Cover
  http://bit.ly/1ylRedW

  Catalyst vs Dancer vs Mojolicious on Stack Overflow
  http://bit.ly/1ylRcTk

  I checked the number of posts on Stack Overflow tagged with each one of
  those: Catalyst: 380, Mojolicious: 213, Dancer: 133. Does this mean
  anything?

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

  Curating CPAN sometimes means really deleting stuff
  http://bit.ly/1ylRcTn

  Philippe Bruhat (BooK) shows 3 cases when he decide a module should be
  totally removed from CPAN and uses his examples to encourage others too
  to remove obsolete modules.
  --------------

  Fix a bug on CPAN Day
  http://bit.ly/1ylRee5

  It is Neil Bowers again (I really hope he will create a post linking to all
  of his CPAN-day related posts) showing how the number of bugs on RT are
  steadily growing (but not even looking at bugs reported elsewhere). More
  importantly he created a list of the to 20 distributions in terms of open
  RT tickets. There are some very important modules in that list! Go ahead,
  you can fix a bug or at least write a test case.
  --------------

  Don't declare a dependency on Crypt::SSLeay (or IO::Socket::SSL either)
