Hi,


I am back from my vacation in Barcelona and the news in the Perl world is
that there is going to be a Perl workshop in Barcelona, and on the very
same day London will also hold its annual Perl Workshop. Look for the
details at the end of the newsletter!


In other news Neil Bowers is busy preparing all of us for 'CPAN-day' coming
up in 2 weeks. - See the articles below.


Enjoy! ~szabgab




Articles

  
  Writing private functions in Perl
  http://bit.ly/1rPsQ4h
 
  Neil Bowers explains several ways to make functions 'private'. Some are by
  convention (prefixing the name with an underscore), others are
  experimental (lexical sub), yet others require additional modules from
  CPAN (Sub::Private). You have a choice how private do you want the
  functions to be.

  Perl' book that covered this feature of perl.
