This is Schuyler Erle, web hacker for the O'Reilly Network, and it is my honor and pleasure to bring you the latest www.perl.com newsletter. So, without further ado, here's what's new in the world of Perl. * Perl at large. For a while this week, it was starting to look like the biggest news in Perl was that there wasn't any news. Still no word on the status of the Perl Journal, hardly a peep about Perl 6, and the latest on Perl 5.6.1 for a while had been that we weren't going to see it any time soon. However, a whole bunch of exciting things have cropped up, just in the last couple of days. First, Chris Nandor has recently taken charge of maintaining MacPerl, and has already produced the first development release of MacPerl 5.6.0. You can get the latest word on MacPerl at: http://macperl.sourceforge.net Next, just when we started to fear that maybe 5.6.1 might languish forever in beta, Gurusamy Sarathy has just this Wednesday morning announced to the perl5-porters list that "Thanks largely to Jarkko's help, the second trial version of perl v5.6.1 is now available.... If this release passes muster, I will update perldelta.pod and send it to CPAN as v5.6.1." Go, Sarathy! By the time you get this message, the trial release has probably already reached your local CPAN mirror. Try it out, and send in those doc patches and bug reports! Also, Damian Conway has announced some of the first fruits of his indentured servitude to the Perl community. One such product is the brand-new Regexp::Common, a module that "stores or generates commonly needed regular expressions," including: Balanced parens; delimited text (with escapes!); numbers in any base up to 36; comments in C, C++, and, of course, Perl; and more. Conway also has plans to extend Regexp::Common to include E-mail addresses, mail headers, telephone numbers, and that's just the beginning. More information on Damian Conway, and his community-subsidized doings, can be found on the Conway Channel at: http://yetanother.org/damian/ Finally, Elaine Ashton is seeking ideas and contributions for the CPAN documentation section. She writes on use.perl.org that "Since the /doc directory on CPAN is about as fresh as 5.004 is, we are currently thinking of things to bring this up to date and add more things the community might find value in." Find out more at: http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=01/01/25/1258229 If you can help, and perhaps thereby render a service to the whole Perl community, please contact cpan@perl.org. * What's new on perl.com? This week, Paul Kulchenko shows us how to take the pain out of Remote Procedure Calling, using with SOAP::Lite module. SOAP::Lite provides a simple but flexible interface to SOAP, an XML-based RPC protocol. Building on SOAP::Lite, Paul shows us how easy it can be to access objects and execute procedures remotely using Perl. http://www.perl.com/fill-in-the-url-here-please Also, once again, the inimitable Simon Cozens brings us up to date on the latest progress in the march toward Perl 5.6.1, with his weekly perl5-porters digest. If you don't know much about the insides of the Perl interpreter or where they're headed, Simon's p5p digest is a great way to start getting your feet wet. http://www.perl.com/pub/2001/01/p5pdigest/THISWEEK-20010128.html * A Fond Farewell. Speaking for everyone at www.perl.com and the O'Reilly Network, I'd like to wish a fond goodbye to Mark-Jason Dominus, who is departing after over a year as www.perl.com's Managing Editor. Mark-Jason has, in my opinion, done a wonderful job bringing www.perl.com into the twenty-first century, and the site won't be quite the same without his technical insight and caustic wit. We sincerely wish Mark-Jason all the best, and we eagerly anticipate bringing you his first feature article as Editor Emeritus. Good luck, Dominus! Meanwhile, if you have any questions, comments, or other issues of an editorial nature, you can contact our very own Chris Coleman, at ccoleman@oreilly.com. Until next week, fair Perl hackers!

This is Schuyler Erle, web hacker for the O'Reilly Network, and it is my honor and pleasure to bring you the latest www.perl.com newsletter. So, without further ado, here's what's new in the world of Perl. * Perl gatherings. The YAPC::Europe Call For Participation was issued last week, rounding out the Perl conference schedule for the summer. Send abstracts to papers@yapceurope.org before June 1st to have your presentations considered. YAPC::Europe will be held this year at the Hogeschool Holland, in Amsterdam, on August 2 through 4. According to the website, they'll be holding Lightning Talks there, too, but I couldn't figure out, as of this writing, specifically where Lightning Talk proposals should be sent. You can find out more on YAPC::Europe at: http://www.yapc.org/Europe/ On a very important note, YAPC::Europe is still looking for sponsors! If you're in a position to help the community by making a grass-roots Perl conference possible, *please* contact info@yapceurope.org! Meanwhile, YAPC::America::North will continue to accept regular presentation proposals until May 1st, and Lightning Talk proposals until May 31st. * Rumors of Perl6's Demise Greatly Exaggerated. So, chances are you're in the majority of people who has begun to wonder what's going on with Perl 6? A ton of RFCs were sent it, mailing lists were set up, and now what? Well, wonder no more. The inimitable Simon Cozens is contributing a new regular department to www.perl.com with his perl6-mailing-lists digest. Much in the same vein as his ever-popular perl5-porters digest, Simon does the hard work of keeping up with the mailing lists, and you get to reap the rewards. How's that for a bargain? Of course, as always, Simon also returns with his perl5-porters digest, bringing us the latest hacks and fixes from the p5p list. This week, Simon talks about I/O layers, memory leaks, shared functions, and more. * Picture yourself ... on www.perl.com! Meanwhile, in a different movie, we'd like to invite you, our reader, to consider submitting articles for publication on www.perl.com. We've got a budget to burn on interesting and useful articles of all shapes, sizes, and topics. Our only hard and fast requirements are that submissions be Perl-related, and evince the kind of quality and accuracy that we've all come to associate with the O'Reilly name. Send whatever you got to our Open Source editor, Chris Coleman, at ccoleman@oreilly.com. Don't delay! Editors are standing by! Until next week, fair Perl hackers! We now return you to your regularly scheduled E-mail. SDE *** Article: Perl 6 Alive and Well! http://www.perl.com/pub/2001/02/14/p6p.html?wwwrrr_20010214.txt Perl.com will be supplying you with the P6P digest, covering the latest news on the development of Perl 6. Article: Pathologically Polluting Perl http://www.perl.com/pub/2001/02/inline.html?wwwrrr_20010214.txt Brian Ingerson introduces Inline.pm and CPR; with them you can embed C inside Perl and turn C into a scripting language.
