Hi there!

Good news. The new version of perl is out, just in time to be included in
this edition. See the announcement
<https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2023/07/msg266602.html>
and the perldelta
<https://metacpan.org/release/RJBS/perl-5.38.0/view/pod/perldelta.pod> for
changes. If I understand correctly the bigges change by far is the addition
of the *class* keyword. There are also a number of deprecations you will
want to pay attention to. If you'd like to take it for a ride you can find
the instruction how to install perl <https://www.cpan.org/src/README.html>.
You can also use perlbrew <https://perlbrew.pl/> to install it. I hope
we'll soon have a Strawberry Perl <https://strawberryperl.com/> release as
well.

Last week I asked two questions on various forums:

If someone asks you why contribute to open source? What do you say?

If you don't contribute to any open source project, what stops you from
contributing?

I've collected some of the responses at the bottom of the page: Why
contribute to open source
<https://osdc.code-maven.com/why-contribute-to-open-source>.

As Mohammad already mentioned last week, I've set up a Zulip
<https://zulip.com/>-based chat server for people who would like to get
help on their path to contributing to open source. In this community I
we'll be able to support contributors in several programming languages. We
started with Perl, Python, and Rust. You are invited
<https://osdc.zulipchat.com/>

Enjoy your week!

The Perl data structures and objects pretty printer Data::Printer

4096 characters (this is the default value). This is something that can be
parameterized in the ~/.dataprinter file:

People often think that in order to contribute to an open source project
you have to be some kind of an expert. Far from it. There are plenty of
things one can do even with very little knowledge. Here I contributed a
one-line change to the documentation of a Rust library even though I have
only started to learn Rust. If I could do it I am sure all of you can.
