[Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] #242 - Thirty Score Subscribers, WOOHOO!

Mon Mar 14 01:14:36 PDT 2016

Perl Weekly 

http://perlweekly.com/

You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
http://perlweekly.com/archive/242.html

 This week, we're celebrating our 6,000th subscriber! And in 8 weeks we'll
be hitting our 250th edition. And 10 weeks after that, it's the 5th
anniversary (really?) milestone that we'll reach. I don't know about you,
but I'd say that all those occasions call for a momentous celebratory camel
cake. Enjoy! (this edition of the PerlWeekly, that is, not the
yet-to-be-baked cake) ~ `/anick

Discussion

  Frameworks don't make much sense
  http://www.catonmat.net/blog/frameworks-dont-make-sense/

  Reading this piece, the expression "Go Big, or Go Home" comes to mind.

Testing

  Running mixed Perl 5 and Perl 6 tests.
  http://blogs.perl.org/users/pawel_bbkr_pabian/2016/03/perl-6-hack-attack-mixed-perl-5-tests.html

  One of the oft-forgotten things about the t/ directory and 'prove' is that
  tests don't necessarily need to be Perl code. Here Pawel shows how one
  can  painlessly mix and match Perl 5 and Perl 6 tests in a testsuite.

  No more dirty reads with MongoDB
  http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/2633/no-more-dirty-reads-with-mongodb/

  Perhaps you are the type of conservative soul who prefers consistency over
  sheer performance? Rejoice, for MongoDB has a new knob to adjust its
  behavior in that regard.

  It's never too late to find a bug
  http://blogs.perl.org/users/book1/2016/03/its-never-too-late-to-find-a-bug.html

  Some bugs are easy to spot. Others can be sneaky. Blending with their
  surrounding, waiting patiently for years before the right circumstances
  present themselves. The present tale is about a bug of the latter
  category, which stayed dormant for over five years before resurfacing...
