Hi there,
This issue was prepared by Yanick again, but he left me with an empty preface here. So I am happy to announce about 3 new Perl-related events I just found about: YAPC::Hawai, YAPC::ME (Middle East) and OSDC Taiwan. You can find details about them in the 'Events' section at the end of the newsletter.
Enjoy!

Announcements
svn.perl.org shutdown in one month http://bit.ly/YXXkpy How better to celebrate Easters than with a little Exodus? The centralized Perl svn repository site served us well for many years, but now it is time for it to bow down and vanishes into a well-deserved retirement. CPAN authors, take heed: April 27th is when the lights will go out. --------------
=============
Articles
The Little Script That Could http://bit.ly/YXXkpB Giel Goudsmit reminisces about the last 10 years of Bookings.com, and how he saw it grow from its modest origins to the behemoth it is today. --------------
=============
Testing
Creating a matrix of random entries where lengths of the columns are also random http://bit.ly/YVzNzr Sinan Unur amuses himself and comes up with an elegant way of solving that problem. --------------
test_requires all the way http://bit.ly/YXXkFS miyagawa gleefully announces a toolchain milestone: the segregation of build and test dependencies is now truly grokked by all major players. --------------
=============
Code
A Case for Tie::Array::CSV http://bit.ly/YVzOU2 Sometimes, your proudest achievement is the module that oozes out pizzazz like red dwarves pour out radiation. Sometimes, it's the little humble module that is just does the job with no fuss. Joel Berger professes his love for Tie::Array::CSV, which definitively belongs to the second category. --------------
Milla, a Dist::Zilla profile that doesn't suck http://bit.ly/YVzNzv I once compared Dist::Zilla to the bat-mobile: very powerful, but a little daunting for the casual driver. miyagawa tries to address that with 'Milla', which tries to take care of most of the dzillish complexity for you. --------------
How I've started managing GitHub pulls http://bit.ly/YVzNzw David Golden shares with us some of the scripts and tricks he uses to facilitate the ebbs of pull requests. --------------
I made a module! http://bit.ly/YXXihf Dominic Humphries narrates the birth of his first module, and shows us all how easily one can slip into CPAN authorhood (getting out, now, that's a totally different kettle of fish). --------------
Why Perl's conditional operator is right associative http://bit.ly/YVzOU8 Don't know? Dont' worry: brian d foy explains. --------------
Building a static blog using Blio and Github http://bit.ly/YXXkGb Gabor walks us through how one can set up a nice static blog using domm's Blio blogging engine. --------------
Using SSL client certs with Perl's LWP::UserAgent http://bit.ly/YXXihq SSL tends to make things... a trifle more complicated. David Precious explains how to make LWP::UserAgent play well with secure urls. --------------
Mojolicous, render_later and weaken transactions http://bit.ly/YVzNzA Ever got a mysterious error when calling Mojolicious's 'render_later' method? Max explains what it means. --------------
=============
Fun
Gamifiy your command line with HabitRPG http://bit.ly/YVzNzB HabitRPG is a todo / habit tracker application with a twist: it turns mundane activities into a fantasy RPG. Paul Fenwick, with his usual flare for the ubernifty, wrote a Perl module -- and a command-line interface -- to interact with the system. Killing orcs, merging pull requests, it can all be part of your typical working days, now. --------------
Acme::ReturnValue 1.001 http://bit.ly/YVzNzE Perl packages have to end with a true value. Typically, that's '1'. But some authors get more... creative. domm sends his module hunting for those peculiar true values, and aggregates them for our viewing pleasure. --------------
=============
Grants
2013Q2 Call for Grant Proposals http://bit.ly/YXXlcV Alberto Simoes called for a the new round of grant proposals. In case you have ideas for projects, but don't have time to do them, you can add them in the comment section allowing people with time, but without projects to submit grant proposals. --------------
Outreach Program for Women http://bit.ly/YXXiy1 Karen Pauley announced the cooperation with the GNOME Foundation. There is money for one intern to participate. --------------
