Greetings, perl.com subscribers.

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 at 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 at 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 at 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.
