Perl Weekly=20
https://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
https://perlweekly.com/archive/696.html
Hi there,
I remember when I started The Weekly Challenge (
https://theweeklychallenge.org ), I used to refer to Perl
as Perl 5 just to differentiate it from Perl
6, which is now called Raku. Ever since
Perl 6 became Raku, I went back to simply
calling it Perl.
During the London Perl Workshop 2024, I heard the whispers
about the proposal of change in version but no details
were available at the time to my knowledge. Before I talk about it, let me
share this GitHub repository for Proposed Perl Changes
(PPCs) ( https://github.com/Perl/PPCs ). Anyone curious to know what is
happening or in the pipeline, can easily get the update here. Not only
that, you can even submit a feature request too. While going through the
list of proposals, I came across this proposal for Perl version (
https://github.com/Perl/PPCs/blob/main/ppcs/ppc0025-perl-version.md ). A
big round of applause to Aristotle Pagaltzis for such a
detailed document that dives into the finer points. You must checkout the
document yourself, in case I missed any important bits. As far as my
understandings, in the next Perl stable release the
Perl version would be 42.0. I'd be
surprised if it goes without any arguments and counter arguments. If you
ask for my personal opinion, I'm happy with the proposal. I hope the
transition will be smooth.
As we reach the end of November, two annual events are
approaching: the Advent Calendar and 24 PullRequests (
https://24pullrequests.com ). Personally, I'm looking forward to the Perl
Advent Calendar 2024 ( https://cfp.perladvent.org ) as it will be
celebrating its 25th year. To make it special, there is a
planned presentation, Half My Life with Perl (
https://www.perl.com/article/randal-schwartz-half-my-life-with-perl ) by
Randal Schwartz. It will be live streamed via Zoom and you
can register ( https://lu.ma/giz69577 ) for the event, if you're
interested.
There is also one more event, Perl Community Conference, Winter 2024 (
https://blogs.perl.org/users/oodler_577/2024/11/registration-is-open---perl
-community-conference-winter-2024.html ) scheduled for 18th
December. It will be in a hybrid format.
Enjoy the start of the holiday season and stay safe.

Hi there,
=20
I remember when I started ">The Weekly Challenge, I used to refer to Perl as rong>Perl 5 just to differentiate it from Perl 6,=
which is now called Raku. Ever since Perl 6ng> became Raku, I went back to simply calling it =
Perl.
=20
During the London Perl Workshop 2024, I heard the =
whispers about the proposal of change in version but no de=
tails were available at the time to my knowledge. Before I talk about it, l=
et me share this GitHub repository for github.com/Perl/PPCs">Proposed Perl Changes (PPCs). Anyone curious to k=
now what is happening or in the pipeline, can easily get the update here. N=
ot only that, you can even submit a feature request too. While going throug=
h the list of proposals, I came across this proposal for /github.com/Perl/PPCs/blob/main/ppcs/ppc0025-perl-version.md">Perl version<=
/a>. A big round of applause to Aristotle Pagaltzis for su=
ch a detailed document that dives into the finer points. You must checkout =
the document yourself, in case I missed any important bits. As far as my un=
derstandings, in the next Perl stable release the =
Perl version would be 42.0. I'd be surprised if i=
t goes without any arguments and counter arguments. If you ask for my perso=
nal opinion, I'm happy with the proposal. I hope the transition will be smo=
oth.
=20
As we reach the end of November, two annual events=
are approaching: the Advent Calendar and ://24pullrequests.com">24 PullRequests. Personally, I'm looking forward=
to the Perl Advent Calendar 2024> as it will be celebrating its 25th year. To make it spec=
ial, there is a planned presentation, le/randal-schwartz-half-my-life-with-perl">Half My Life with Perl by trong>Randal Schwartz. It will be live streamed via Zoom and you c=
an register for the event, if you're=
interested.
=20
There is also one more event, rs/oodler_577/2024/11/registration-is-open---perl-community-conference-wint=
er-2024.html">Perl Community Conference, Winter 2024 scheduled for ong>18th December. It will be in a hybrid format.
=20
Enjoy the start of the holiday season and stay safe.
