Perl Weekly=20
https://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
https://perlweekly.com/archive/684.html
Hi there,
Corinna?
Did you just asked that? Well just to give some
background, it was the project to add a new object system to the
Perl core led by Curtis Poe. I would
highly recommend you checkout this repository (
https://github.com/Perl-Apollo/Corinna ) if you are completely new to
Corinna. And if you still have time to read more then you
should this blog post (
https://curtispoe.org/articles/corinna-in-the-perl-core.html ) by the man
himself, Curtis Poe. Those who are well informed and
updated, might ask why am I talking about it now since it is already in
core? Well, many have got their hand dirty with the new OO system and
shared their experiences. Overall response is, we loved it but we want
more. I am pretty confident in the next production release we would have
more features added to it. The one I am personally looking for is to be
able to create role using new OO syntax. Well again, I
haven't answered the question, why talking about it now? Last
Thursday, I went to office (day job) to attend company
meeting. I only go when it is special occassion otherwise I work from home.
This time, it was giving farewell to our boss and best friend. After we
were done with speech and celebration, I was just looking for something to
read and I came across this blog post (
https://dev.to/davorg/on-the-bleading-edge-1olf ) by Dave
Cross. I was completely blown away the way he articulated his
experience with the new OO system. It is not easy to do so, as if you are
not carefull then it might come across as negative. I am a big fan of his
writing skill, be it his books ( https://davecross.co.uk/books ) or his
blog posts ( https://perlhacks.com/author/davorg ). Coming back to his
recent post, he mentioned few names (I don't want to repeat here and spoil
your experience) and how they helped him deal with the issues he discussed
in the post. I really want you all to take your own sweet time and read
this thoroughly. I am sure, you will love it too.
Are you lazy programmer?
Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean in derogatory way. We, as a
programmer, always look for getting things done quick. With experience in
hand, you do get your way most of the time. Olaf Alders
recently shared a very engaging blost post (
https://www.olafalders.com/2024/08/28/i-am-still-lazy ). In the post he is
talking about his toy, lazy ( https://metacpan.org/pod/lazy ). I liked the
name, short and precise. This tool is definitely going into my toolbox as I
find it very handy and easy to use. If you ever had trouble with dependency
when running a script then this is your friend.
Let me share a funny story about my early days. I started as a
Visual Basic programmer. Then few years after playing with
it, I decided to make a move in the year 1999. I was given
two choices, Perl and Java. The company
offered me to learn the language on the job. I picked Perl
without knowing anything about it and here I am editing weekly newsletter
specially for Perl fans. I didn't ditch
Java completely to be honest. I keep playing with it as
and when I got time. With the project like The Weekly Challenge (
https://theweeklychallenge.org ) that I have been running successfully for
over 5 years helped me keep the passion alive. A friend of
mine shared this fun project, PerlOnJava (
https://github.com/fglock/PerlOnJava ). Just to give you an overview, it is
a Perl compiler. It compiles Perl into
Java bytecode and runs it.
What's new on CPAN?
Thank you, Mathew Korica for keeping the tradition alive.
It gives an insight what is happening on CPAN. It doesn't
matter whether you have your own distributions or you use others, it is
always fun to see what is new added on. It also gives you an overview as
bonus. If you never uploaded anything to CPAN then do come
up with something usefull and push it. And if you are lucky, it might end
up in the monthly report. If we are talking about CPAN
then we can't ignore MetaCPAN ( https://metacpan.org ). It is one stop
place for all Perl programmers. I have seen it's growth
over the years with added features and tools. Thanks to the entire team
behind the project. Also thanks to the sponsor, OpenCage (
https://opencagedata.com ), for the support. Someone shared the blog post:
Why We Sponsor MetaCPAN: OpenCage (
https://www.perl.com/article/why-we-sponsor-metacpan-opencage ). It is
pleasure to see how Perl is helping such a big project. It
is worth reading, in my humble opinion.
In the less than two months, we are going to have London Perl & Raku
Workshop 2024 ( https://act.yapc.eu/lpw2024 ). I am so happy to hear that
we are now 90% full on two tracks. The organiser is now planning to add a
third track. If you are planning to attend the much awaited event then I
would suggest you register asap. This would help the organisers manage the
event better. If you or your company using Perl then why
not consider sponsoring the event. Talking about conference, I would like
to mention YAPC::Hakodate 2024 ( https://yapcjapan.org/2024hakodate ). This
is second event in the year 2024. I wish we had at least
one in Europe. Before the pandemic, it used to be an
annual event. Last time, YAPC::Europe happened was in
Riga in the year 2019. It was decided at
the event the that in 2020 we would meet in
Amsterdam. Unfortunately it didn't happen, so sad.
Please do take extra care of yourself and your loved one. Enjoy rest of the
newsletter.

https://perlweekly.com/

Hi there,
Corinna?
Did you just asked that? Well just to give some
background, it was the project to add a new object system to the
Perl core led by Curtis Poe. I would
highly recommend you checkout this repository (
https://github.com/Perl-Apollo/Corinna ) if you are completely new to
Corinna. And if you still have time to read more then you
should this blog post (
https://curtispoe.org/articles/corinna-in-the-perl-core.html ) by the man
himself, Curtis Poe. Those who are well informed and
updated, might ask why am I talking about it now since it is already in
core? Well, many have got their hand dirty with the new OO system and
shared their experiences. Overall response is, we loved it but we want
more. I am pretty confident in the next production release we would have
more features added to it. The one I am personally looking for is to be
able to create role using new OO syntax. Well again, I
haven't answered the question, why talking about it now? Last
Thursday, I went to office (day job) to attend company
meeting. I only go when it is special occassion otherwise I work from home.
This time, it was giving farewell to our boss and best friend. After we
were done with speech and celebration, I was just looking for something to
read and I came across this blog post (
https://dev.to/davorg/on-the-bleading-edge-1olf ) by Dave
Cross. I was completely blown away the way he articulated his
experience with the new OO system. It is not easy to do so, as if you are
not carefull then it might come across as negative. I am a big fan of his
writing skill, be it his books ( https://davecross.co.uk/books ) or his
blog posts ( https://perlhacks.com/author/davorg ). Coming back to his
recent post, he mentioned few names (I don't want to repeat here and spoil
your experience) and how they helped him deal with the issues he discussed
in the post. I really want you all to take your own sweet time and read
this thoroughly. I am sure, you will love it too.
Are you lazy programmer?
Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean in derogatory way. We, as a
programmer, always look for getting things done quick. With experience in
hand, you do get your way most of the time. Olaf Alders
recently shared a very engaging blost post (
https://www.olafalders.com/2024/08/28/i-am-still-lazy ). In the post he is
talking about his toy, lazy ( https://metacpan.org/pod/lazy ). I liked the
name, short and precise. This tool is definitely going into my toolbox as I
find it very handy and easy to use. If you ever had trouble with dependency
when running a script then this is your friend.
Let me share a funny story about my early days. I started as a
Visual Basic programmer. Then few years after playing with
it, I decided to make a move in the year 1999. I was given
two choices, Perl and Java. The company
offered me to learn the language on the job. I picked Perl
without knowing anything about it and here I am editing weekly newsletter
specially for Perl fans. I didn't ditch
Java completely to be honest. I keep playing with it as
and when I got time. With the project like The Weekly Challenge (
https://theweeklychallenge.org ) that I have been running successfully for
over 5 years helped me keep the passion alive. A friend of
mine shared this fun project, PerlOnJava (
https://github.com/fglock/PerlOnJava ). Just to give you an overview, it is
a Perl compiler. It compiles Perl into
Java bytecode and runs it.
What's new on CPAN?
Thank you, Mathew Korica for keeping the tradition alive.
It gives an insight what is happening on CPAN. It doesn't
matter whether you have your own distributions or you use others, it is
always fun to see what is new added on. It also gives you an overview as
bonus. If you never uploaded anything to CPAN then do come
up with something usefull and push it. And if you are lucky, it might end
up in the monthly report. If we are talking about CPAN
then we can't ignore MetaCPAN ( https://metacpan.org ). It is one stop
place for all Perl programmers. I have seen it's growth
over the years with added features and tools. Thanks to the entire team
behind the project. Also thanks to the sponsor, OpenCage (
https://opencagedata.com ), for the support. Someone shared the blog post:
Why We Sponsor MetaCPAN: OpenCage (
https://www.perl.com/article/why-we-sponsor-metacpan-opencage ). It is
pleasure to see how Perl is helping such a big project. It
is worth reading, in my humble opinion.
In the less than two months, we are going to have London Perl & Raku
Workshop 2024 ( https://act.yapc.eu/lpw2024 ). I am so happy to hear that
we are now 90% full on two tracks. The organiser is now planning to add a
third track. If you are planning to attend the much awaited event then I
would suggest you register asap. This would help the organisers manage the
event better. If you or your company using Perl then why
not consider sponsoring the event. Talking about conference, I would like
to mention YAPC::Hakodate 2024 ( https://yapcjapan.org/2024hakodate ). This
is second event in the year 2024. I wish we had at least
one in Europe. Before the pandemic, it used to be an
annual event. Last time, YAPC::Europe happened was in
Riga in the year 2019. It was decided at
the event the that in 2020 we would meet in
Amsterdam. Unfortunately it didn't happen, so sad.
Please do take extra care of yourself and your loved one. Enjoy rest of the
newsletter.
