Hi

while probably due to YAPC there are not so many articles from the usual
suspects, there are two from outside the echo-chamber (Rex automation and
medal from the Army).

The recorded videos from YAPC::NA are also available and there is a
fund-raiser going on to release the next version of WebGUI, a CMS in Perl.

Oh, and there is going to be a Dancer conference too.

Enjoy!

Discussion

  Perl smartmatch : what now ?
  http://bit.ly/Vz84tU

  Laurent Dami raised the frustrating question. You know, the smartmatch
  operator and the given/when pair that were introduced in perl 5.10 have
  been marked as experimental in 5.18 and it is not clear how they might
  change in the future. A few suggestions how to deal with the problem.

CPAN

  100 days of CPAN releases
  http://bit.ly/Vz84tY

  Neil Bowers had this crazy idea of releasing a CPAN module every day. I am
  really happy that this mostly involved releasing fixes for existing
  modules. Apparently he now needs help getting his hand on more modules.
  So if you are a CPAN author who wants to get rid of a module, this might
  be a good time to contact Neil!
