The Email for www.perl.com Subscribers

Hello, perl.com subscribers.

We have an exceptionally good article up this week.  
Chris Nandor has written about RSS, a data format that 
web sites can use to summarize their content for portal 
providers. Chris covers how to read and write RSS files 
from Perl, and how he's implemented his own web portal 
system, called `my_portal'.
(The source is available, of course.)

Also, we'll point you to the latest Perl success story on 
O'Reilly.com, which tells how the folks at Amazon used Perl 
as a fast prototyping language to develop their auction web 
site.  People have been saying for years that Perl was a good 
language for prototyping and rapid development, but this is a 
particularly large and high-profile example.

The `What's New' items are once again being frequently updated.  
If you have a news item that will be of interest to the Perl 
community, please send it to

Thanks for subscribing!

Real World Perl: RSS and You
http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/01/rss.html?wwwrrr_20000126.txt
RSS is an XML application that describes web sites as channels, 
which can act as feeds to a user's site. Chris Nandor explains 
how to use RSS in Perl and how he uses it to build portals.  

 
Article: In Defense of Coding Standards
http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/01/CodingStandards.html?wwwrrr_20000126.txt
Perl programmers may bristle at the idea of coding standards. 
Fear not: a few simple standards can improve teamwork without 
crushing creativity.  
 
Article: Virtual Presentations with Perl
http://www.perl.com/pub/1999/12/virtual-presentations.html?wwwrrr_20000126.txt
This year, the Philadelphia Perl Mongers had joint remote 
meetings with Boston.pm and St. Louis.pm using teleconferencing 
equipment to bring a guest speaker to many places at once. Adam 
Turoff describes what worked and what didn't, and how you can use 
this in your own PM groups.
