Hi there

at first I thought we will have a thin edition, but several web-related
articles came in. For example a very detailed one about Mojolicious. There
is also a survey about Dancer.

In other news, the Dancer crowdfunding (
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ebook-single-page-application-with-perl-
dancer-web/reft/775728/pw323top ) ends in a few days. We have already
reached $5,000 (some used PayPal and do not show up on the Indiegogo page)
with the sponsorships received from The Perl Shop (
http://www.theperlshop.com/?utm_source=perlweekly323top&utm_campaign=perlwe
ekly323top&utm_medium=perlweekly323top ). I hope a few more companies will
decide to sponsor and we can further extend the book!

Enjoy your week!

  A template for structuring single-file solutions in Perl
  https://www.reddit.com/r/perl/comments/735xhs/a_template_for_structuring_singlefile_solutions/

  A suggestion on how to start writing Perl scripts or programs. I'd prefer
  without the 'do' prefixes and without the CamelCase functions, but having
  a main functions is good idea. If Perl had a standard library for logging
  that would eliminate even more duplication.

  Interesting further thoughts on how Perl 6 is going to be called. Even more
  comments on Redit (

  _update/ ). I really like the 'slang' in it! I think it provides the
  appropriate amount of confusion to start a conversation.

  Summer in the UK… the time for long evening walks in the countryside and
  sunny days on the beach. This company is based in a small town perfectly
  positioned to enjoy these traditional British countryside pursuits: to
  the east lies the Peak District, while to the west are the beautiful
  remote beaches of northern Wales. For those rare days when the British
  weather is unobliging, the behemoth cultural duo of Liverpool and
  Manchester are also within easy striking distance. The town itself is an
  attractive market town, with good transport connections and easily
  commutable from either neighbouring city.
