Perl Weekly

You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.

Hi,

APW - the Austrian Perl Workshop has ended and it created a flurry of Perl
6 related blog posts. I am not sure if the activity level of the Perl 6
developer was also substantially increased or not, but we, people who don't
follow Perl 6 that closely can suddenly see that things are happening.
That's great.

BTW how do you like the changes in the Perl Weekly? Do you see the images
on the right?

Enjoy your week! ~szabgab

  A study of code abstraction
  http://bit.ly/1nwFPJ0

  A study of code abstraction: Modern developers are shielded from the inner
  workings of computers and networks thanks to several layers of code
  abstraction. We'll dig into those layers from a single line of Perl code,
  down to the bytes that get produced at the bottom of the API stack. (PDF)

The Perl Maven Pro ("http://perlmaven.com/pro") subscribers receive two new

  screencasts:

  Creating a testing module

  The third and final part of the mini-series in which we tested random
  numbers, abstracted out a testing function, and them moved it to a module
  to be usable by anyone.
