Hello, perl.com subscribers.

No news is good news!

This week that's true, anyway. Work on the Perl source filters
feature has been going on unabated on p5p, and it is as high a
signal-to-noise ratio as I can remember.  It's a great time to
be reading p5p, by the way.  All sorts of interesting stuff.
Simon Cozens promises me he will get me a summary of this week's
activity by tomorrow.

If you haven't seen it yet, IBM has an article up about debugging
resources for Perl:

http://www-4.ibm.com/software/developer/library/l-pl-deb.html


And apparently the December issue of _Linux Journal_ carries a review
of the New Camel book, but it's not online yet.


*** What's New on the Site ***

Simon has written a second article about programming with Gnome and
Gtk for Perl.  This week's article develops a cookbook application.
There's lots of code, so be sure to have a look.

http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/11/perl-gnome2.html

Also, I got a lot of interesting responses to last week's "Program
Repair Shop and Red Flags" article, so I decided to write them up.
I also wrote up some responses to the previous 'red flags' article
that had been lingering since June. I hope you'll find these notes
interesting.

*** Coming up ***

Doug Sheppard's fourth article for Perl beginners should be a long
next week, and eventually we will have an article about POE.

Thank you again.  I will be in touch again next week.

Managing Editor

Programming GNOME Applications with Perl - Part 2
http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/11/gnome2.html?wwwrrr_20001129.txt
Simon Cozens shows us how to use Perl to develop applications for
Gnome, the Unix desktop environment.


Article: Red Flags Return
http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/11/repair3x.html?wwwrrr_20001129.txt
Readers pointed out errors amd suggested more improvements to the
code in my 'Red Flags' articles. As usual, there's more than one
way to do it!


Beginner's Introduction to Perl - Part 3
http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/11/begperl3.html?wwwrrr_20001129.txt
The third part in a new series that introduces Perl to people who
haven't programmed before.  This week: Patterns and pattern
matching.  If you weren't sure how to get started with Perl,
here's your chance!


Article: Program Repair Shop and Red Flags
http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/11/repair3.html?wwwrrr_20001129.txt
Once again I take a real program written by a genuine
novice and show how to clean it up and make it better.  This
time we turn a perl4 library into a Perl 5 object-oriented
module. I show how to recognize some "red flags" that
are early warning signs that you might be doing some of
the same things wrong in your own programs.


Article: Hold the Sackcloth and Ashes
http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/11/jarkko.html?wwwrrr_20001129.txt
Jarkko Hietaniemi, the Perl release manager, responds to the
critique of the Perl 6 RFC process.


Article: Critique of the Perl 6 RFC Process
http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/11/perl6rfc.html?wwwrrr_20001129.txt
Many of the suggestions put forward during the Perl 6
request-for-comment period revealed a lack of understanding of
the internals and limitations of the language. Mark-Jason
Dominus offers these criticisms in hopes that future RFCs may
avoid the same mistakes -- and the wasted effort.
