Hi,

I am not sure what does that really signify, but apparently there is going
to be a Larry Wall presentation at FOSDEM where he will says something like
Perl 6 being production ready.

It is still a couple of month from now at the end of January in Brussels,
but you might want to plan ahead to be there when this happens.

Till then there are some more things to do. ~szabgab

  Perl Recruitment by a CPAN contributor
  http://bit.ly/1uwKNXC

  I'm a Perl programmer and open-source developer who also specialises in
  Perl recruitment in Europe. If you want to know if you're being paid
  enough, want some help with your CV, or just want to talk to a recruiter
  who knows the difference between 'local' and 'my', say hello at:
  http://perl.careers/ ("http://bit.ly/1uwKNXC").

Announcements

  Get ready to party!
  http://bit.ly/1uwKNXE

  It is really unclear what does this event cover, but it seems Larry Wall is
  going to give a talk at FOSDEM in Brussels in February 2015, where he
  will talk about Perl 6 being production ready in the same year. Looks
  interesting and FOSDEM is probably the biggest Open Source event in the
  world with over 5,000 visitors.

  GitPrep 1.9 release, Atom feed of commit log support, short ssl url support
  http://bit.ly/1EPSklD

  GitPrep is an open source clone of GitHub written in Perl. It makes it easy
  to maintain GitHub repositories on your own server.

Perl Maven Pro
The Perl Maven Pro ("http://perlmaven.com/pro") subscribers receive two new
  articles and screencasts every week. The last week these were the two
  screencasts:

  Looking at a specific commit in GitHub
  http://bit.ly/1EPSnhf

  When you follow the development of a project on GitHub, for example the
  search.cpan.org cloning project, you might want to take a look at the
  source code after specific commits. You might even want to run the code
  at that point in time. In this screencasts you'll see 3 ways to look at
  the source code and 2 ways to even run it as it was at any given time in
  the past.
  --------------

  Create the search.cpan.org look and feel
  http://bit.ly/1uwKOL6

  Earlier we created a skeleton web application based on PSGI and moved the
  plain HTML code we had into external templates using Template::Toolkit.
  It is time to convert that to look like the front page of
  search.cpan.org.
  --------------

=============

Discussion

  We are all Perl's ambassadors...
  http://bit.ly/1uwKOLe

  I thought pointing out someone who was nasty to a fellow Perl developer
  would make more noise, but so far it seems that people try to give a
  technical solution to a social problem. Interesting.
  --------------

=============

Testing

  Tests should not fail due to EOL differences across platforms
  http://bit.ly/1uwKNXR

  I totally agree with Sinan, especially when we are talking about such
  central module as Module::Install. The question, how can one easily
  notice and correct if one of the tests fails due the line ending
  differences between Windows and Unix and is there an article with 'best
  practices' for such situation?
  --------------

=============

Code

  Git-Like Menus
  http://bit.ly/1uwKOLh

  After a long break finally a new article from Buddy Burden! A combination
  of some interesting modules such as IO::Prompter and Method::Signatures
  to build a menu-system.
  --------------

Web

  Interactive Fiction Competition
  http://bit.ly/1uwKOLk

  I know it is going to be too late for you to participate, and I am quite
  embarrassed that I forgot to include this entry in the previous two
  editions, but at least I remember now. Jason McIntosh pointed it out to
  me that the web site of the annual Interactive Fiction Competition now
  runs on Catalyst. (Source code available here ("http://bit.ly/1uwKOLi").)
  You won't be able to participate, not even as public judges because of me
  forgetting to include it earlier, but at least you can start preparing
  yourself for next year!
  --------------

  Interpolatable HTTP status codes: Another way
  http://bit.ly/1uwKQTs

  Sinan is using Const::Fast to export the values of HTTP::Status in a
  read-only hash called %HTTP. An exercise in diversity of solutions for
  the same problem.
  --------------

  LPW and Perl WebBook
  http://bit.ly/1uwKOLn

  Dave Cross got fed up by people wanting to solve problems using CGI while
  there are more modern solutions so he gave a lightning and announced he
  is going to write a new book covering modern Perl development. It's a
  funny coincidence that I've just posted an article listing the
  CGI-related Perl Maven articles.
  --------------

=============

Windows

  64-bit Perl 5.20.1 with Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition on Windows 8.1
  http://bit.ly/1uwKOLo

  Microsoft have made Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition available. You can
  use it for free. Sinan took it for a ride to compile Perl.

Grants

  Inline Grant Weekly Report #4
  http://bit.ly/1uwKP1C

  Another inline report from the David Oswald, Ingy dot Net duo. -
  Inline::Module is being designed to allow module authors to write their
  module using Inline (C, CPP), and publish their distribution.  But the
  end CPAN user doesn't need to care about Inline; when they install the
  module it transforms to plain XS, free of external dependencies.
  --------------

  November 2014 Grant Proposal
  http://bit.ly/1uwKP1G

  This month there was only one grant proposal. Nevertheless you should still
  read about it and comment on it.

Slides

  How to write a Developer CV/Resume that will get you hired
  http://bit.ly/1uwKP1J

  Peter has at one time occupied each one of the 4 roles that are dealing
  with the requirement of an employee so he probably knows what each one of
  those, including the employee, want to see in the CV. But remember, he is
  from the UK. In other countries his advice might be counterproductive. Or
  maybe they are even better than in the UK.

  Tour of Imager
  http://bit.ly/1uwKP1K

  Imager is a library to generate and manipulate 24 bit images. In these
  slides you'll see some nice images and how they were changed by JT Smith.

  How to read a password on the command line?
  http://bit.ly/1uwKR9Y

  Allowing the user to provide password on the command line in clear text
  forms is not a good idea. Letting them type it in on STDIN will expose
  the password to shoulder surfers. Term::ReadPassword::Win32 allows you to
  read in a password without echoing it back to the screen.
  --------------

  Levels of security using (R)?ex
  http://bit.ly/1uwKRa2

  (R)?ex is a REmote Execution tool to automate deployment and configuration
  management. In this article I tried to cover some of the ways you can
  handle the security part of using it. Specifically the tension between
  being fully automatic vs secure.
  --------------

  CGI - Common Gateway Interface
  http://bit.ly/1uwKRqi

  CGI might not be the darling of web development any more, but it is still
  used in plenty of places, it is still useful, and it is still associated
  with Perl. This is the collection of a few CGI related Perl Maven
  articles.
