Hello, world! This is Simon Cozens, www.perl.com managing editor,
bringing you the latest goings on from the world of Perl and our
own site.

* Perl at large.

Yet Another announcement from the Yet Another Society; the Perl
Development Fund Grant, being extended to Dr Damian Conway and
Dan Sugalski, is breaking with its tradition of giving money to
people whose name starts with 'D'. The Perl Foundation is pleased
to announce that it will be offering a fully-funded grant to
Larry Wall, the author of Perl, to enable him to completely
focus on Perl 6 for at least the next twelve months.

YAPC::NA is starting to shape up. As in previous years, Mark-Jason
Dominus will be running the Lightning Talks. If you've got
something you'd like to say to the Perl community and you want
five minutes to say it in, Mark would like to hear from you:

Just to remind you, the call for papers for YAPC::America::North::2002
is available from the YAPC website:

And The Perl Conference 6 and 4th Open Source Convention call for
participation is also out. TPC6 runs from July 22-26 in the San
Diego Sheraton, and promises to be excellent as ever:

* What's new on www.perl.com?

Like many Perl users, I'm a command-line diehard; nevertheless, I
realise that people coming to Perl on a particular popular
operating system are less comfortable with command line tools than
us Unix old-timers. So how does one go about bringing a graphical
Integrated Development Environment to Perl? We asked Eric Promislow,
the development lead on ActiveState's Visual Perl plug-in for
Microsoft Visual Studio, and he told us...

Enjoy!

Visual Perl	
Most Perl programmers are die-hard command line freaks, but those
coming to Perl on Windows may be used to a more graphical way to
edit programs. We asked the lead developer of the new Visual Perl
plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio to tell us the advantages of a
graphical IDE.

Quick and Dirty Topic Mapping
If you've ever tried to map out a taxonomy for an existing or
future body of content, you know it can be a frustrating exercise.
Here's a strategy for creating a taxonomy from the bottom up rather
than top down -- including the Perl script to run it.

Beginning PMCs	
Parrot promises to give us support for extensible data types.
Parrot Magic Cookie classes are the key to extending Parrot and
providing support for other languages, and Jeff Goff shows us how
to create them.
