Hi there,
This year the Perl Weekly is published on the 30th birthday of Perl.
How do you celebrate?
Use this opportunity to send a thank-you note to Larry Wall, to someone who
have contributed to Perl throughout the years, to a CPAN author who
maintains a module you use!
Happy Birthday to all the readers!

Your editor: Gabor Szabo.

use form the connection passed in.

Modulino: both script and module in Perl
https://perlmaven.com/modulino-both-script-and-module
Sometimes you'd want to allow people to use the functions from your script
and sometime you'd like to run your module as if it was a script. Based
on the comments on the article and on Reddit (
https://www.reddit.com/r/perl/comments/7jheqt/modulino_both_script_and_mo
dule_in_perl/ ), not everybody liked, but I learned that the word was
actually coined by brian d foy. I also got some ideas for more use-cases.

Books
Regenerating Perl School
https://perlhacks.com/2017/12/regenerating-perl-school/
Instead of class-room training sessions, this time Dave is working on cheap
eBooks about various topics in Perl sold via Amazon. The first one is
called Perl Taster: Your First Two Hours With Perl (
https://www.amazon.com/Perl-Taster-Your-First-Hours-ebook/dp/B077MB1LH1?t
ag=szabgab-20 ). I'd say even if you don't need it, buy it as a way to
encourage and support Dave. Even better, buy a copy as a present to a
fellow Perl newbie.

Perl Jobs by Perl Careers
Rapid Growth in Perl - developers wanted for an expanding central London company
https://perl.careers/jobs/rapid-growth-in-perl---developers-wanted-for-an-expanding-central-london-company/?utm_source=perlweekly&utm_campaign=perlweekly&utm_medium=perlweekly
According the Guinness Book of World Records, the fastest growing plant is
a species of bamboo, which grows at a rate of up to 91cm a day. The
fastest growing economy in the world is currently Ethiopia, with a
projected growth in GDP of over 8% this year. And although the record for
fastest growing Perl team might not be recorded in the Guinness Book of
records, our client is a strong contender.

Be a trailblazer in a time of growth - Full Stack Architect required for a rapidly expanding London company
https://perl.careers/jobs/be-a-trailblazer-in-a-time-of-growth---full-stack-architect-required-for-a-rapidly-expanding-london-company/?utm_source=perlweekly&utm_campaign=perlweekly&utm_medium=perlweekly
If you?re currently a senior full stack developer looking to take on your
next role as an architect then this is a great opportunity to do so in a
company that is both ambitious and supportive. Increased job satisfaction
is another perk, as their codebase is notably new and clean and the team
are committed to using modern practices.

London's Trendiest Office Space - Lead and Mid-Level Perl Developer roles
https://perl.careers/jobs/londons-trendiest-office-space---lead-perl-developer/?utm_source=perlweekly&utm_campaign=perlweekly&utm_medium=perlweekly
I love working in a vibrant, modern space. If you?re going to spend all day
at work, it might as well be somewhere you enjoy being, rather than a
cubicle farm. This client has a workspace I?m actively jealous of!
