Perl Weekly=20
http://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
http://perlweekly.com/archive/517.html
Hi there!
Flavio Poletti has just completed one year of blogging. Mohammad S. Anwar
has been editing the Perl Weekly for more than three years and running the
Perl Weekly Challenge ( https://perlweeklychallenge.org/ ) for more than
two years.
I am not sure what the secret is, but something about creating a
commitment, even if it is an artificial commitment that then you need to
stick to. I am sure both of them had times when they thought of sleeping in
and not doing the work that day or that week. After all, this is not their
paid job, but the commitment kept them going. With time it became easier to
do the task and the whole thing became a habit. I wish more people found
the strength to do something like this.
Enjoy your week!

PAUSE workaround
https://github.polettix.it/ETOOBUSY/2021/06/14/pause-workaround/

PAUSE parses the text in your code to see which modules you provide.
Unfortunately that means it also includes names that are only mentioned
in the documentation or in strings that never get executed. This can lead
to unpleasant side-effects. How can you avoid these?
