[Perlweekly] The current Perl Weekly News - Issue #21
Perl Weekly Issue #21 - December 19, 2011 http://perlweekly.com/ You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. http://perlweekly.com/archive/21.html Hi, Perl turned 24 this week. Happy birthday! Happy Hanukkah and Mary Christmas to all the readers of the Perl Weekly and see below why is that relevant. Last week 175 people clicked on the job post at Best Practical. Very impressive :) The Perl Maven courses I started a month ago got quite good reaction so I am now busy recording the rest of the material. Once those are done I have further plans for more video courses. In the meantime, let's see the current issue of the Perl Weekly: Headlines CPAN - As Seen From Space! http://bit.ly/umVNQ6 This was announced in many channels but here you can also see some funny comments such as 'Thanks for spending your time developing a way for me to waste mine :)'. Grant McLean created a map of all CPAN. You can slice it and dice it. See the authors, the dependencies or the users of a module. -------------- Booking.com Donate Another ?100,000 http://bit.ly/tTAnGZ This donation is towards the development of perl 5. I wish other companies would now approach The Perl Foundation and offer further donations to enable larger grants for CPAN module development and for Perl 6 development. -------------- 8 days of Perl during Hanukkah (?????) http://bit.ly/v5EPXn Just as the Advent calendars near their end, Hanukkah starts on 21st December.
