From gabor at szabgab.com Sun Mar 15 23:59:29 2015 From: gabor at szabgab.com (Gabor Szabo) Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2015 06:59:29 -0000 Subject: [Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] #190 - It's All About Numbers Message-ID: <20150316065850.10AE9C2F3@s8.hostlocal.com> Perl Weekly http://perlweekly.com/ You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. http://perlweekly.com/archive/190.html Numbers, numbers, everything revolve around numbers. Last week not only had a Friday the 13th, but also saw the celebrations of Pi Day (which mostly revolve around making math jokes and eating pies). This edition of the PW doesn't lack in numerals either: amongst other things, Rex turns 1, Neil hangs 10 (places most likely to host your module repository) and Timm has fun with GPS coordinates.
