Hi,

First of all, let me apologize to those who are reading the text version of
the newsletter. Due to a bug and my impatience, last the newsletter was
missing the text version. Sorry for that.

Advent is here! While you might not celebrate the Christian Advent, it
became a tradition in the Perl community to create Advent calendars. This
means 24 articles in 24 days. We won't be able to cover all the articles
published in the Advent calendars, but you can see a list of them in  the
Advent section. You can also follow the one maintained by Len Jaffe who has
been collecting the various Advent calendars for years. Which brings me to
another point. All of these calendars are written by volunteer
contributors. Not necessarily core developers. You could also contribute an
article!

Enjoy!

Testing

  More adventures in test failures
  http://bit.ly/1z72mgz

  Sinan Unur keeps bumping into test failures while using perl 5.20.1
  compiled with Visual Studio 2013 CE. I wonder if he is also sending
  bug-reports or even patches to fix these issues, or is he trying to get
  people understand the problems and fix them by themselves? Have you sent
  any patches (or pull requests) recently?
