Hi,

During FOSDEM Miyagawa has conducted interviews with Ricardo Signes (RJBS),
the release manager of Perl 5 (also known as the Pumpkin of Perl 5), and
Larry Wall (TimToady), the creator of Perl.

Both interviews are available in the Rebuild podcast as downloadable mp3
files. If you don't have time during the day, you could download the files
and listen to them during your commute.

Enjoy!

  DateTime is perfect, but huge and slow. Time::Moment has certain
  limitations, but it small and blazing fast.

  One of the hard things when building a Perl distribution is including
  various external libraries. For example libexpat and libgd. This is what
  Sinan faced the week.
