 This week, we have the releases of two of the big web frameworks, a new
Strawberry Perl, and invitations to upcoming Hackatons both for Perl 5 and
Perl 6. For the latter, the pressure is building: the August Hackaton in
Switzerland is touted as the last one before the dev version of Perl 6 1.0
goes out. Enjoy! ~ `/anick

  use Perl. For that, he asks for your help to corral the names of all 
  organizations that fit the bill.

  Adopting in the hope to improve maintenance
  http://blogs.perl.org/users/graham_ollis/2015/02/adopting-in-the-hope-to-improve-maintenance.html

  Graham would like to provide a warm, cozy new home for a handful of
  modules. But, of course, this can't happen without the blessing of their
  original owners, so he's sending an announcement flare.

  get officially released.

Articles

  Hello perldoc, productivity booster
  http://perltricks.com/article/155/2015/2/26/Hello-perldoc--productivity-booster

  Some tools help and some tools are next to indispensable. Perldoc squarely
  falls in the second category. David offers us here a quick review of its
  main use cases.

  Perl developers dispel doubts about the code's longevity
  http://www.techworld.com/careers/perl-developers-dispel-doubts-about-codes-longevity-3599357/

  You know the usual question. "Is Perl dead? Dying? Looking pale? Perhaps
  pining for the fjords?" TechWorld went out and interviewed some of the
  members of the community in this latest attempt to answer the eternal
  question.

Testing

  The Role of Critique
  http://blog.twoshortplanks.com/2015/02/28/the-role-of-critique/

  If a role is defining a private method that it is not using itself,
  Perl::Critic is wont to spuriously tut-tut at you. Or was, as Mark
  decided that enough was enough, and crafted a patch that takes care of
  that.

  Another note to my future self on DBIx::Class
  https://contourline.wordpress.com/2015/02/23/another-note-to-my-future-self-on-dbixclass/

  While working on the creation of a DBIx-based test database,  James
  realized that not everything is perfectly documented. He's jolting down
  the missing pieces of the puzzle here for the benefit of his future self
  (and us, natch).

  do? Yanick reveals all.

  IO::Socket::Timeout: socket timeout made easy
  http://blog.booking.com/socket-timeout-made-easy.html

  For most of us, just getting the web page is good enough. But for, say,
  Booking.com, there's also a need for speed. Damien shares with us how
  they tweak and interact with socket timeouts as one way to quench this
  thirst of velocity.

  Public Voting through Twitter
  http://blogs.perl.org/users/kivanc_yazan/2015/02/public-voting-through-twitter.html

  Kivan was recently involved in a charity party where voting for things like
  dance and songs was done via Twitter. Brilliant idea. And he came up with
  a script to take the humdrum off tallying the results too.
