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.

Late last night, I put together the finishing touches to Parrot 0.0.4
and released that to the world. My final Parrot release includes a
new JIT compiler, arena-based memory allocation, copying garbage
collection, an IO subsystem, a regular expression engine, and much
more besides. I say "my final", because now the baton hands over to
Jeff Goff. Good luck, Jeff, and I hope everyone enjoys the new
release:

Speaking of releases, there's a new release of AxKit, the
dynamic XML transformation engine we previewed last week. This
is mainly a bugfix release, but adds a number of examples.

And finally, what happens if you mix Perl and St. Patrick's Day?

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

I'm sure you've all heard of Microsoft's .NET project; there's been
a lot of hype around it, but what is it, and what does it mean to
you and me? This week, I investigate Microsoft's .NET Framework from
a Perl perspective -- how it compares with the Parrot interpreter,
what Perl can learn from C#, and how Perl and .NET interact now and
in the future.  Even if you're a rabid Microsoft-hater, it's still
worth taking a look at new technologies to see what we can learn
from them:
