Subject: [Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] #133 - More Perl events
Message-ID: <20140210080805.6E71576E2A4@s6.hostlocal.com>

Perl Weekly 

http://perlweekly.com/

You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
http://perlweekly.com/archive/133.html



Just a reminder, from now on the Perl Weekly newsletter only includes newly
added events and the other events are listed on the web site. This is to
avoid boring you with the same links again and again. Yet there are 4 new
events added at the bottom of this edition. (Partly because they were left
out by mistake earlier, partly because they are newly scheduled). In any
case, you'll find evens all over the world, but especially around Europe.

  Perl and Me, Part 9: That's Why I Failed Recess
  http://bit.ly/1cn8wN2
 
  It is Buddy Burden again, explaining how <b>Perl is the language that Gets
  Shit Done</b>, but probably a lot more importantly, he explained his
  process of finding candidates for employment. I know not many companies
  work that way, but I think it is great. I love it!
  --------------

  
  Why you should use getcwd and not cwd
  http://bit.ly/1cn8wN5
 
  I keep using the cwd() function from the Cwd module when I need the current
  working directory, but I think David Golden has a point. I should just
  change the habit and start using getcwd().

  exceptions.
  --------------
