Subject: [Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] #119 - No Unicode in the subject line
Message-ID: <20131104070118.AD26E76E2DB@s6.hostlocal.com>

Perl Weekly

You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.

Hi,


Last week I had this little experience with various interesting Unicode
characters in the Perl Weekly. On the web site it worked out well, but in
the e-mail there were a few glitches. Most likely due to Mailman that I
still use to handle the newsletter. (And it is a rather old version of
Mailman, so I can't really blame it.) The subject line was missing the
[Perlweekly] tag that Mailman should have included (and I hope it does this
time again) and several people mentioned that they have not seen the heart
in the subject line. I think the body of the message went through just
fine.

  Would You Miss Autoderef in 5.20?
  http://bit.ly/1cFh3fS
 
  Autoderef was added to perl in version 5.14 and now it seems to be on the
  way out. chromatic asked your opinion if you will miss it. I think very
  few people have really used it. Have you?

  Things we don't have #1
  http://bit.ly/16zcAud
 
  While CPAN has lots of modules solving many problems (multiple times),
  there are many problems that are not, or not well solved. Steven Haryanto
  started to put together a list of tools (libraries) available in other
  languages but not in Perl. In case you are looking for an problem to work
  on.

  Acme-oop-ism Part Three: techniques
  http://bit.ly/16zcAue
 
  Toby Inkster continues his quest to unify the way we can use Moose, Moo and
  Mouse. One of his suggestion is to write for Moo. Code written using Moo
  works well with Moose as well, and the syntactic sugar alll three provide
  is quite similar. So if you use that, your code will likely work with all
  3.

  proposed to fix the problem.
