Articles
Is a strong caution about Heartbleed worth the disruption to distributions with a declared dependency on Crypt::SSLeay?
http://bit.ly/1r72kSl
Sinan Unur has been quite busy discussing the fallout from the Heartbleed
OpenSSL bug and how it relates to Perl.
--------------
Does your code really depend on Crypt::SSLeay?
http://bit.ly/1r72kSy
--------------
Introducing fsql and chart
http://bit.ly/1r72mtF
Two command-line utilities to help you slice/dice and visualize data from
CSV files on the console.
--------------
I still hate email
http://bit.ly/1r72mJU
Not exactly Perl, but if you are into sending e-mails, then you might want
to read this from Ricardo Signes.
--------------
=============
Testing
CPANdeps pass/fail display now working again
http://bit.ly/1r72n0r
CPANdeps ("http://bit.ly/1r72lpl") lets you see the test results of all the
dependencies of a given module in a single page.
--------------
=============
Code
Sending email in Perl
http://bit.ly/1r72lFQ
It's funny to see a web-site titled 'PHP Developer' publishing articles on
how to do things in Perl. This one is using Email::Sender::Simple and
Email::Simple to send an e-mail.
--------------
Learning the Perl Debugger: Lesson 3
http://bit.ly/1r72n0A
In this part we see the use of s - step in, n - step over, r - step out,
and c - continue running.
--------------
Passing arguments
http://bit.ly/1r72n0F
Sebastian Willing compares 8 different ways for passing arguments to a
function checking their speed.

=============
Web
Codecube.io Now Supports Perl
http://bit.ly/1r72ngU
Codecube.io is another web site that allows you to run arbitrary code via
the web page. Now, thanks to Eric Johnson, it also supports Perl.
--------------
=============
CPAN
Adopting DateTime::Format::Mail
http://bit.ly/1r72oBu
More than 10 years after Iain Truskett, the original author of this module
has passed away, and after it changed hands several time, BooK (aka.
Philippe Bruhat) adopts the module. The little we can do to preserve the
memory of the people who have contributed to the Perl world.
--------------
Release often
http://bit.ly/1r72oBA
Maybe releasing a CPAN module every day is crazy, but Neil Bowers puts his
hand on something that is extremely difficult to do and very valuable:
persistence. He has decided to release a new version of a CPAN module
every day, but he also offers a bunch of less involved tasks that us,
mere mortals, can stick to. So if you'd like to reach something just make
sure you make a step every day. An alternative to this idea came from
Eric Johnson recommending to write code every day
("http://bit.ly/1r72oBv").
--------------
Maintainer's Notes on rt.cpan.org
http://bit.ly/1r72oBH
Did you know, that you, as a CPAN author, can put a banner text on the top
of the RT pages of your modules? That can be a very good way to tell
users of your code how, and where to submit bug reports.

Racing to writeness to wrongness leads
http://bit.ly/1r72pp2
Jonathan Worthington writes about C# and how he implemented threading in
Perl 6 running on top of the JVM. It isn't easy to read, but as usual it
is filled with sentences like this one: 'If anything, we want such
inevitably unreliable programs to reliably fail, not reliably pretend to
work.'
