Perl Weekly 

http://perlweekly.com/

You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
http://perlweekly.com/archive/326.html

Hi there

you might recall I write about Perl on the Perl Maven (
https://perlmaven.com/ ) site and about everything else on the Code Maven (
https://code-maven.com/ ) site. In order to serve you better I'd like to
know what are the 3 most important languages to you? So I have a
one-question survey (
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdtnpHaKRIS9-uUcPOwAltq3eew6o2GPqV
CdoXRtfHhRizWKQ/viewform ) asking just that. I'd be happy if you filled it
out and as a thank-you note if you fill it out you'll get a coupon to buy
my Git eBook at a very deep discount.

Oh and there are plenty of good articles in this newsletter :)

Enjoy your week!

Articles

  vim, Ale, Syntastic and Perl::Critic
  http://www.olafalders.com/2017/10/17/vim-ale-syntastic-and-perlcritic/

  Ale is faster than Syntastic, but Olaf also asks for help with some
  Perl::Critic integration.

  Application Metrics with Yertl
  http://blogs.perl.org/users/preaction/2017/10/application-metrics-with-yertl.html

  Time series databases are useful to collect monitoring data and create
  reports from them. They can count number of visits to a site or elapsed
  time serving a page. ETL::Yertl provides an SQL interface to interrogate
  the data in such time series.

  Don't use until, unless...
  http://blogs.perl.org/users/tom_ryder/2017/10/dont-use-until-unless.html

  I am not sure who reported it that students for whom English is not the
  mother tongue have harder time understanding and using 'until' and
  'unless' than those who were born in an English-language country.

  Bitcoin XS Modules
  http://blogs.perl.org/users/joeld/2017/10/bitcoin-xs-modules.html

  This guide goes over setting up a simple HD Tree, drafting a P2SH
  transaction, and running an SPV client. - I guess this is only for people
  who already understand this vocabulary.

  Fixing Legacy Perl Functions With Decorators
  https://www.ynonperek.com/2017/10/19/perl-function-decorators/

  Perl can have functions creating functions that can wrap other functions.
  Decorators is the name used in Python where it also has some syntactic
  sugar. In this article you'll see Memoization and logging for any
  function.

Testing

  Automated testing on Windows with AppVeyor
  http://blogs.perl.org/users/mauke/2017/10/automated-testing-on-windows-with-appveyor.html

  AppVeyor is cloud-based Continuous Integration service running on MS
  Windows. You can easily hook up your CPAN module or other Perl-based
  application to test it on Windows. A Lot less excuses for not supporting
  Windows.
  --------------

  Cygwin interesting problems
  http://blogs.perl.org/users/ben_bullock/2017/10/cygwin-interesting-problems.html

  Cygwin is a special source of Yak Shaving with all kinds of questions one
  need to answer. I wonder, could AppVeyor be used to test CPAN modules on
  Cygwin?

  Lab::Measurement: New lightweight backends for VXI-11 and USB-TMC
  http://blogs.perl.org/users/simon_reinhardt/2017/10/labmeasurement-new-lightweight-backends-for-vxi-11-and-usb-tmc.html

  The Lab::Measurement ( http://www.labmeasurement.de/ ) project provides
  Open Source control of Test & Measurement devices with Perl.

  Introducing the PAUSE Operating Model
  http://blogs.perl.org/users/neilb/2017/10/the-pause-operating-model.html

  You might recall there was some mud-sliding around the the ownership of the
  DBIx::Class namespace. In order to reduce possible future tensions, the
  PAUSE admins have created a document describing the rules of their
  operation.

  Perl Applications and Protein Analysis – mid-level Perl developer wanted for a London bioinformatics company
  https://perl.careers/jobs/perl-applications-and-protein-analysis--mid-level-perl-developer-wanted-for-a-london-bioinformatics-company/?utm_source=perlweekly&utm_campaign=perlweekly&utm_medium=perlweekly

  Calling all science enthusiasts! Perhaps you studied Chemistry at
  university but then found yourself pulled towards software development
  instead when you entered the world of work? Or maybe you did a
  dissertation or early internship in bioinformatics and have always wanted
  to get back into the sciences? This interesting role sits at the junction
  of science and software development, and is a great opportunity for a
  Perl developer to rediscover his or her passion for the natural sciences.

  https://perl.careers/jobs/londons-trendiest-office-space---lead-perl-developer/?utm_source=perlweekly&utm_campaign=perlweekly&utm_medium=perlweekly

  I love working in a vibrant, modern space. If you’re going to spend all day
  at work, it might as well be somewhere you enjoy being, rather than a
  cubicle farm. This client has a workspace I’m actively jealous of!
