This is Simon Cozens, managing editor of www.perl.com, here to bring you the week's news and developments both in the Perl world and on our own site. * Perl at large. Have you recovered from the conference season? How about a nice relaxing cruise in the Eastern Caribbean? How about a nice relaxing cruise in the Eastern Caribbean that's also a Perl conference? The Perl Whirl is back and taking bookings for next January's jaunt. As usual, all the Perl gurus will be there: amongst others, Tim Bunce, Damian Conway, Mark-Jason Dominus, Randal Schwartz, Lincoln Stein, Nat Torkington, and Larry Wall. Try swinging that one past your boss - and if you manage, let me know how you did it. http://www.geekcruises.com/pdf/PerlWhirl_02.pdf http://www.geekcruises.com/ The latest alpha of MacPerl is out. MacPerl 5.6.1a5 is going to be the last alpha before MacPerl 5.6.1 goes into beta. Almost all of the Mac:: extensions now work, and Matthias Neeracher has added a new, more Mac-like error reporting system. As usual, you don't have to buy any software to build it; just look at the build instructions on the web site. http://dev.macperl.org/ http://dev.macperl.org/?build Michael Schwern, of whom more later, has released the first SDK in the Perl SDK Project. These SDKs are meant to be tarballs full of recommended Perl module goodies, and this first one is all about testing. There are three different modules to help you build in tests to your code, and two tutorials about how to use the modules and write good test suites. As usual, it's all on CPAN: http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Test/Test-SDK-0.02.tar.gz mail:perl-sdk-subscribe@perl.org * What's new on perl.com This week's perl5-porters summary is dominated by Michael Schwern and his campaign to improve the test coverage of the Perl core. He patched quite a few files this week, and also started some other pretty interesting threads. You can read all about it at: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/08/p5pdigest/20010903.html Bryan Warnock's fantastic work with the Perl 6 summary continues. This week, he tells us about the latest in the never-ending garbage collection/finalization debate, the status of Parrot, whether or not @_ should be passed implicitly and many other things from the lists. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/09/p6pdigest/20010901.html Maybe it's against the Perl programmers nature to look forward to using a tie, but Dave Cross certainly does. In this week's feature article, he explains how to use tying to make your variables do strange, interesting and occasionally useful things. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/09/04/tiedhash.html Enjoy, SC ================================================================ The O'Reilly Peer-to-Peer and Web Services Conference September 18-21, Washington, DC, Omni Shoreham Hotel Early bird registration ends Sept. 7--Register Now and Save!

This is Simon Cozens, managing editor of www.perl.com, here to bring you the week's news and developments both in the Perl world and on our own site. * Perl at large. Two major things this week. Firstly, all of us at perl.com and the O'Reilly Network extend our condolences and prayers to those people or their families caught up in this week's devastation in New York and Washington, D.C. Damian Conway has set up a page to track the status of all members of the Perl community known to have been in NY or DC at the time; if you're worried about a friend in the community, your first port of call should be: http://www.yetanother.org/damian/September_11.html Thankfully, at time of writing, everyone on that message board is marked as "Safe", but we recognise that many of you will have been touched in some way by this tragedy, and our thoughts are with you. And now some happier news; on Monday, Nat Torkington announced that the holder of the source pumpkin for Perl 6 would be Simon Cozens - oh, hang on, that's me. Later in the day, I released the first version of Parrot, the Perl 6 bytecode interpreter. http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=01/09/10/1730204&mode=thread&threshold= http://archive.develooper.com/perl6-announce@perl.org/msg00293.html And you can download parrot from CPAN, from CVS or from the nightly snapshot service: http://www.cpan.org/src/parrot-0.0.1.tar.gz http://cvs.perl.org/ http://www.netthink.co.uk/downloads/parrot-nightly.tar.gz Patches are, of course, welcome. * What's new on perl.com As you might have guessed from the above, I've been more than a little busy this week; unfortunately, this means I haven't had time to produce the perl5-porters summary. My apologies, and I'll try harder next week. However, the Perl 6 summary is here, covering oodles of documentation, and more discussion of the much-misunderstood lexical insertion feature. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/09/p6pdigest/20010908.html You've heard of Tk, you might have heard of Gtk, but what about wxWindows? This is a highly portable, good-looking graphical user interface and, like all good things, you can use it from Perl.

This is Simon Cozens, managing editor of www.perl.com, here to bring you the week's news and developments both in the Perl world and on our own site. * Perl at large. We all love O'Reilly books! OK, I work for O'Reilly, so you'd expect me to say that, but even when I was a tiny little junior sysadmin I knew that O'Reilly books are the source of all good technical knowledge. That's why I'm happy to let you know of a neat way to increase your O'Reilly book collection and be the envy of your colleagues - for a limited time only, when you buy two O'Reilly books at participating bookstores, we'll throw in another one free. See here for more details of O'Reilly's Fall Bookseller Promotion: http://www.oreilly.com/news/retailpromo_0901.html Whenever Michael Schwern and Damian Conway get together, you know that something interesting's gonna happen. Fresh from battling with the Java programmers at the JAOO conference, Michael has been thinking about aspect-oriented programming; unfortunately, this involves such horrific tricks as running code further up the stack, (similar to Tcl's "uplevel") adding pre- and post-actions to subroutines, and other more dirty tricks. Thankfully, Michael and Damian have hidden them away in two new modules, which I'd encourage you to look at if you want to really know how far Perl can stretch: http://www.yetanother.org/damian/diary_September_2001.html#day_17 http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/src/Sub-Uplevel-0.02.tar.gz http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Hook-LexWrap And finally... Ask Bjorn Hansen is a sick, sick man. Last week, we talked about Parrot, (and this week, we'll talk about it a little more) and now he's gone and written the mod_parrot Apache module which runs compiled Parrot bytecode in your Apache web server. At the moment, since Parrot doesn't do much in the way of I/O, it isn't very exciting, but it's the thought that counts... http://cvs.perl.org/cvsweb/mod_parrot/ * What's new on perl.com Unfortunately, due to a combination of the heightened activity on the Perl 6 lists as a result of the Parrot developments and a sharp decrease in free time, Bryan Warnock is no longer able to bring you Perl 6 Summaries. We're eagerly looking for someone to take his place - if you think you could do that, please get in touch with me on simon@oreillynet.com. The Perl 5 Porters summary will return later this week, with all the latest news in legacy Perl development. In particular, more work on portability, whether or not we can or should distribute crypt, regular expression hackery and much, much more. In the meantime, you can find all previous P5P summaries here: http://www.perl.com/pub/at/4 So maybe you haven't been thoroughly following this whole Parrot thing. Fear not! This week's feature article is an introduction to Parrot and a tutorial in the Parrot assembly language; it tells you how to get a copy of Parrot, how to build it, and how to create and run Parrot assembly language programs. For the advanced developers, there's also information on how to add operations to Parrot, what we plan to do with it in the future, and how to get involved in taking it further. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/09/18/parrot.html Enjoy, SC ============================================================== Sponsored by Macromedia TRY A FREE COLDFUSION 5 TRIAL AND BUILD SOPHISTICATED SITES FAST.

Jon's talk received a grand reception, not only for his clever use of Perl, but for a remarkably unselfish application of his skills. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/08/27/bjornstad.html *** Apache::CodeRed Tired of seeing your web server logs fill up with Code Red error messages?

Visit: http://www.nusphere.com/op ======================================================================== Hello, world! This is Simon Cozens, managing editor of www.perl.com, here to bring you the week's news and developments both in the Perl world and on our own site. * Perl at large. First of all, we've got some really good news for mod_perl users! Ticketmaster, one of the web's leading ticket agents, have hired Stas Beckman for a year to develop mod_perl towards version 2.0. Stas joins Larry and Damian in the ranks of Perl Indentured Slaves; we're seeing more and more businesses "sponsor" Perl and open source developers to do their thing, and this can only be good for us all. http://forum.swarthmore.edu/epigone/modperl/zhyzhendrou/3BAA2755.9080701@sta son.org http://www.ticketmaster.com/ http://www.citysearch.com/ European Perl Hackers may like to know that the German Perl Workshop 4.0, 2002, has issued its first call for papers. The conference will run from Friday February the 13th to the 15th at the Fachhochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, in Sankt Augustin. Like, but unaffiliated to, YAPC, the German Perl Workshop is another non-profit conference, mainly covered by its sponsors. They're currently looking for tutors, workshop presenters and speakers - and, of course, attendees, so if you're probably going to be around Europe next February, make sure to check them out: http://www.perlworkshop.de/2002/ And finally... what *have* I created? Last week, we reported on Ask Bjorn Hansen's mod_parrot experiments; this week, Ask and Leon Brocard have set up the "parrotcode" site, with Parrot tutorials and examples. Leon has even ported a Mandelbrot set generator to Parrot. More seriously, (and deeply more embarrassingly) one of the Python developers has already started porting Python to Parrot. http://www.parrotcode.org/ http://www.astray.com/mandlebrot.pasm http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2001-September/017617.html * What's new on perl.com I'm still looking for a volunteer to take over the Perl 6 summaries. Please let me know if you can help. Ahbijit Menon-Sen, Artur Bergman and others have volunteered to share the load of the Perl 5 Porters summaries, and they will recommence beginning next week. I know I've said this several times before, but this time it might actually be accurate: the rumblings are getting louder and louder that we'll be able to bring you an Apocalypse and an Exegesis this week. The subject matter will be Perl 6's operators, including some interesting surprises. Stay tuned to perl.com later in the week. Right now, though, I can offer you a brilliant introduction to the world of asymmetric cryptography. Last month, we had an article from Ahbijit on symmetric cryptography: this is fine if you and I can meet and exchange a key before we send our super-secret messages. But what if we can never meet up - like, say, people on the Internet. Asymmetric crypto allows us to securely transmit secrets without even needing to share common information in advance. And as with all good things in life, it can all be done in Perl. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/09/26/crypto1.html Enjoy, SC ============================================================= Sponsored by Macromedia TRY A FREE COLDFUSION 5 TRIAL AND BUILD SOPHISTICATED SITES FAST.
