What is the real field of Perl? Message-ID: <20171002052753.711C6D061@s8.hostlocal.com> Perl Weekly http://perlweekly.com/ You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. http://perlweekly.com/archive/323.html Hi there at first I thought we will have a thin edition, but several web-related articles came in. For example a very detailed one about Mojolicious. There is also a survey about Dancer. In other news, the Dancer crowdfunding ( https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ebook-single-page-application-with-perl- dancer-web/reft/775728/pw323top ) ends in a few days. We have already reached $5,000 (some used PayPal and do not show up on the Indiegogo page) with the sponsorships received from The Perl Shop ( http://www.theperlshop.com/?utm_source=perlweekly323top&utm_campaign=perlwe ekly323top&utm_medium=perlweekly323top ). I hope a few more companies will decide to sponsor and we can further extend the book! Enjoy your week! -- Your editor: Gabor Szabo.
