   Perl Weekly <http://perlweekly.com/>

Issue #13 - October 24, 2011
 You can read the newsletter on the web<http://perlweekly.com/archive/13.html>,
if you prefer.

Hi,

I'd like to embark on a new series of promotions for the Perl Weekly and I
need your help in this. By far the best source of new subscribers is
referrals by already satisfied users.

So if you like the Perl Weekly, I'd like to ask you to forward this issue to
your co-workers and suggest they subscribe <http://perlweekly.com/>.

Now to the posts:

Headlines

Mojolicious 2.0 released: Perl real-time web framework<http://bit.ly/qEW4aU>
Congratulation to Sebastian Riedel (sri) and the rest of the Mojolicious
team! A number of significant changes were listed in the announcement. For
example the minimum required version of perl was moved up to 5.10.1 and
Morbo was added. Morbo is the self-restarting development web server that
just works, even on Windows.

Teaching a Modern Perl Class in NYC! <http://bit.ly/pVh3uW>
John Napiorkowski is running an 8-week long Perl class introducing Modern
Perl to people new to Perl. This seems like a great opportunity to send a
friend of you to learn Perl on a very low cost training class.

Module testing basics <http://bit.ly/oTBc5r>
Jacinta Richardson has just sent out the latest issue of the Perl Tips. This
is a great overview of why you need to write automated tests. She is also
describing the two major testing strategies: White Box Testing and Black Box
Testing. In addition, if you were subscribed to their perl-tips newsletter,
you'd get a discount on their next training course.

Articles

Dreamwidth News <http://bit.ly/qk2Wyi>
After more than 2 months of absence, Denise, one of the two owners of the
site, has posted a longish update on what's going on at Dreamwidth. In case
you don't know, DreamWidth is an open source fork of the LiveJournal system
with a very open policy of publishing content.

Simple config for the perl debugger <http://bit.ly/nZunvn>
Chisel gives some very useful tips on how to configure the built-in command
line debugger of Perl.

CPAN modules for parsing User-Agent strings <http://bit.ly/o0kx4y>
Another excellent post by Neil Bowers comparing modules to parse the
User-Agent strings passed by browsers to web servers. It sounds like a
simple problem but due to the 'interesting' decisions made by the browser
authors it became an annoyance. Having so many different solutions to this
problem just adds to the confusion so I think it is great Neil compared them
and recommended one.

Taming Pod::Weaver, part 2 - Plugins, Sections and
Bundles<http://bit.ly/rlZhfS>
Yanick Champoux continuous describing how to use Pod::Weaver. Specifically
he described plugins, sections and bundles

ElasticSearch::Sequence - a blazing fast ticket server<http://bit.ly/qQBnN5>
Clinton Gormley is considering ditching RDBM for his next application and
using ElasticSearch as the only data store. For this he wanted to have a
human friendly way to get unique sequence numbers from ElasticSearch.

Discussion

Why do you want new major features in core? <http://bit.ly/pIfhoK>
Some people complain that 5.12 and 5.14 have not added many new user visible
features to Perl. Leon Timmermans asks why do we want them. I think the more
interesting question would be 'What new features do you want in core Perl?'
and that's what some people answered. That's what you should also consider
and post as a comment.

Code

Splicing two sockets in Perl (request for help) <http://bit.ly/nVUg77>
Peter Makholm describes a sequence of operations he has implemented several
times already - something like a proxy - and how this was getting
frustrating to do so and how it was not working really well. So he is
proposing a new module to wrap splice(2) of Linux.

Parrot

Parrot 3.9.0 'Archaeopteryx' Released <http://bit.ly/pBA4vw>
Posted by Jonathan 'Duke' Leto

Perl 6

An optimizer lands, bringing native operators <http://bit.ly/mR5BEI>
Jonathan Worthington describes his work that will be included in the October
release of Rakudo. This brings the performance of Rakudo, in some very
specific cases, to be - let me be careful here - not too far from that of
Perl 5.

Event reports

yapc asia: awesome <http://bit.ly/pWsTVo>
Lovely report by Ricardo Signes (rjbs)

Listing of all (?) the blogs posts about YAPC::Asia Tokyo
2011<http://bit.ly/n8t96T>
Daisuke Maki (lestrrat) points out that they collected more than 150 blog
posts about YAPC::Asia. Most of them are in Japanese of course but there are
a number of entries in English for the rest of us. I think this is awesome
to have so much publicity and to provide some sort of recognition to the
bloggers themselves.

German Perl Workshop <http://bit.ly/oSrJnl>
This is the report of the 3rd day of the German Perl Workshop by Wolfgang
Kinkeldei. Links to the previous reports can be found in the comments.
