Hi,
Last week ("http://perlweekly.com/archive/157.html") I mentioned a pay-only
article in the Linux Magazine. Since then the article was made free to
read.
Other than this, just enjoy the articles or your summer vacation.
Announcements

--------------
Method Privacy in Perl
http://bit.ly/1olg33V
Have you ever stepped on your own toe by mistake? Perl does not enforce any
level of privacy of methods. Toby Inkster borrowed the names of various
levels of privacy (callable/overrideable/etc) from .NET and explains how
they might be used in Perl.
--------------
Planet Moose - July 2014

Need help with IO::Pty on *BSD/OSX

appreciated.

Web
Plack::App::* namespace is not for apps - so which is the proper CPAN namespace ?
http://bit.ly/1olg47M
Laurent Dami is trying to navigate among the various contradicting 'CPAN
naming principles'. How should you name your module? How should you name
an application? Can it be uploaded to CPAN? - My take on the subject: use
a branded top-level name and don't rely only on CPAN as distribution
channel. Also build stand-alone packages that can be downloaded from the
branded(!) web site of the project.
--------------
=============
CPAN
Give your module a good SEE ALSO section
http://bit.ly/1olg47Q
To give you further ideas how to improve the documentation of your CPAN
modules, Neil Bowers suggests to list the other modules solving similar
tasks and explain each one of them in a sentence or two. - IMHO this
could be an excellent opportunity for non-authors too, to contribute to
CPAN, and the Open Source Perl ecosystem.
--------------
CPAN Day is 16th August
http://bit.ly/1olg47U
Neil Bowers correcting the date...
--------------
Get 'CPANTS clean' on CPAN Day
http://bit.ly/1olg3kf
CPANTS is the Kwalitee metric of CPAN modules. It has not been in the
limelight recently, so the CPAN Day (on Sat, August 16) might be a good
opportunity to look at it again.
