 Lots of learning material in this edition. Amongst other things, Dave
Cross is making a pdf version of his "Data Munging with Perl" available,
and the German Perl Workshop talks are now on YouTube. Also, summer is
coming, and with it the different student coding programs that are now part
of the season -- and Perl has some very promising proposals in store for
them.  ~ `/anick

  Data Munging with Perl
  http://bit.ly/QOfxCO

  Dave Cross offers a free pdf version of his book "Data Munging with Perl".
  The book may be on the old side, but its chapters aged like wine; a few
  might have gone a bit sour, but most of them are still pretty delectable.

Articles

  Fighting CPAN entropy
  http://bit.ly/QOfxCX

  Neil Bowers is a relentless machine. With a dedication not seen since the

  modules to clean up their documentation, refresh their code, and
  generally give them needed dust-off.
  --------------

  Loops and conditionals: While/until
  http://bit.ly/QOfxTa

Discussion

  CPAN {Spring|Autumn} cleaning time again
  http://bit.ly/QOfxTo

  It's Spring! Which means it's cleaning season. So, as brian d foy proposes,
   why not take the opportunity to remove some of the cruft accumulated in
  your PAUSE directory?

  mop problem 1 - mop can't have protected attribute variable  
  http://bit.ly/QOfw1y

  Mop can't have protected attribute variables! bemoans Yuki Kimoto.
  Actually, it can, corrects Toby Inkster from the comment section.

Code

  Executing remote commands from a Dancer application
  http://bit.ly/QOfw1C

  Maybe not code you want to make available to the outside world, but
  something that can sure be handy in a pinch.	Johandry Amador shows us
  how he uses Dancer as a centralized service firing remote commands to a
  group of machines.
  --------------

  Facebook Authentication in Perl with Mojolicious (Lite)
  http://bit.ly/QOfw1K

  Authentication is one of those complex interaction things that are almost
  guaranteed to make our heads swim. Fortunately, most web frameworks have
  helpful plugins to abstract most of the headache away. Here, Tudor
  Constantin shows us how to deal with Facebook authentication within
  Mojolicious.
  --------------

  Perl and Windows UAC
  http://bit.ly/QOfw1N

  The Windows registry... an Escher-inspired bedlam if there was ever one.
  Michael Roberts shares here a little module that is a blessing for anyone
  cursed to wander this byzantine maze.
  --------------

  A non-exceptional failure in the catch block
  http://bit.ly/QOfw1Q

  Exceptions are tricky. Sinan Unur hits a classical wrong assumption  in his
  code and share it, for our enlightenment and as a warning to us all.

Fun

  My brush with Oulipo
  http://bit.ly/QOfy9S

  Mark Jason Dominus reminisces about his brush with Oulipo, a society of
  writers that takes delight in "constrained writing", which is not totally
  unlike code golfing with natural languages.

  Testing Lies
  http://bit.ly/QOfwi8

  Testing is all about trusting nothing. Yet, some things are so deeply
  ingrained that it's hard to recognize how implicitly they are taken for
  granted. Fortunately, Ovid is there to turn us into better paranoids.
