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

Plenty of back-and-forth between the Perl 5 and Perl 6 camps this week.
I think this is healthy, as long as it doesn't go on too long.
For one, it's a sign of people who care about their communities
and programming languages.

We've also got David Farrell's review of new CPAN modules from December.

  CVE on File::Spec
  https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2015-8607

  2016-01-13 The canonpath function in the File::Spec (
  https://metacpan.org/pod/File::Spec ) module (from the PathTools (
  https://metacpan.org/release/PathTools" class="distribution )
  distribution) was not properly preserving the taint attribute of data.
  This was fixed in PathTools 3.62 (
  https://metacpan.org/release/RJBS/PathTools-3.62 ), released on Monday
  11th January. ActivePerl has also been updated (
  http://www.activestate.com/blog/2016/01/perl-security-patches-activeperl
  ) with this and another Windows-specific security fix. Strawberry Perl
  was also updated (
