Hi there!
You might be already aware of the archive of the Perl Weekly, if not, check out the web site. You'll find it. It is displayed in chronological order, but as some people prefer to have the latest at the top, now you can see it in reverse chronological order, and you can even have a list of all the posts with all the titles. This will make it easier for you to locate a post you saw earlier on the Perl Weekly. What else would you like to see? Is there some other slice of the history of the Perl Weekly posts that you'd like to see? Let me know!
Enjoy!

YAPC::Asia Tokyo 2013 Dates and Location http://bit.ly/14oDaGq September 19 through 21, 2013 in Keio University Hiyoshi Campus, Tokyo --------------
=============
Articles
Next version of Config::Model will use asynchronous check http://bit.ly/11B0MD4 --------------
PDL 2.006 released! http://bit.ly/11B0MD5 The new release of the Perl Data Language comes with an updated draft of the PDL book and an improved web site. --------------
What if languages were free? http://bit.ly/14oDaGu The promise of Marpa is that it will be very easy - almost free - to create new (programming) languages. What will that mean? --------------
=============
Funding projects
My Catincan funded cpan(1) fastest mirror enhancement http://bit.ly/11B0Na5 A few weeks ago brian d foy posted about the new crowd-founding site Catincan and how he wanted to try. This is the result. I hope more people will jump on the idea and start experimenting to getting funded for projects. At first I can imagine you'd try with relatively small projects, and if those are successful, then you can try with bigger ones. --------------
=============
Grants
Fixing Perl5 Core Bugs: Report for Months 35 & 36 http://bit.ly/14oDd4R Dave Mitchell reports that in the last 2 months he hardly had any time for the Perl 5 maintenance grant work. --------------
=============
Testing
CPAN Testers Summary - March 2013 - Us http://bit.ly/14oDaWK While testing might not be exciting for many, I think it is one of the most awesome areas in Perl. I am really glad Barbie and co. keep working on the CPAN Testers infrastructure and he keeps reporting. --------------
No more copy and paste: How to refactor tests with roles http://bit.ly/11B0MDd Tests are just more code, but when it gets to testing, even the best programmers might revert to the ancient art of copy-paste. But this is David Golden. He did not want to repeat his code so he wrote a module called Test::Roo to make it easy to use roles in testing. (And the comments are also interesting to read.) --------------
Better reporting for your test suite http://bit.ly/11B0MTu For Test::Class::Moose users... --------------
=============
CPAN
How to mass-favorite modules on MetaCPAN http://bit.ly/14oDaWR Providing feedback to module authors is a great way to encourage them to do more. Even if the feedback is only by up-voting their module on MetaCPAN. David Golden shows a way to do that automatically for all the modules you use. --------------
How can I list CPAN reverse dependencies from metacpan? http://bit.ly/11B0Naj A few weeks ago I posted a code snippet that does this, but Tokuhiro Matsuno went for the raw JSON input/output and he does not use the MetaCPAN::API module. --------------
=============
Community

Idea: perl community homepage http://bit.ly/14oDaWS Neil Bowers had another idea to create a mash-up of several sources of Perl-related news and integrate them in a single page. --------------
