[Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] #190 - It's All About Numbers

 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.  Enjoy! ~ `/anick
