Hello, perl.com subscribers.


* Perl News

The trials of the 5.6.1 pre-release are in progress.  It seems
to me that there are a lot fewer NOT OK messages than there usually
are, but that might be due to the overlap with the holiday.

Elaine Ashton has opened a new Perl site: http://lists.perl.org/.
It has contact information and archive links for many Perl-related
mailing lists.  If your list isn't mentioned on the site, be sure to
let Elaine know.

* New on the Site

There's no new feature article this week, but Simon Cozens has
contributed an unusually interesting P5P weekly summary.  Also, if
you haven't seen it already, there are stories about NBCi's use of
Perl to manage large amounts of data and about using Perl and XML
to transfer data between relational databases.

Coming up next year, the final part of Doug Sheppard's series about
Perl for beginning programmers.

Thank you all.  Happy new year.
