The White Camel Awards for 2014 were announced this week, and I was

If you're celebrating any kind of holiday in the coming week, have a good
one!

My Perl recruitment thoughts
http://blogs.perl.org/users/brian_d_foy/2014/12/my-perl-recruitment-thoughts.html
brian posted his thoughts on perl and recruitment, in response to Dave's
post last week
("http://perlhacks.com/2014/12/perl-recruitment-thoughts/"). Hard to
distil down to a pithy one-liner, but here's one good soundbite: "Pay
doesn't matter if you suck".

Dave's released a trial version of Params::Validate

problems please. Fun in POD-land
("http://techblog.babyl.ca/entry/fun-with-pod") Yanick goes to town about
his new craziness, Pod::Knit ("https://github.com/yanick/Pod-Knit"),
which you can get from github for now. It involves pod, XML, sausages,
knitting and dancing kittens. I made one of those up.
