Recently I was reading the Learning Python book and found a page titled 'Python Is Engineering, Not Art'. In the disguise of trying to explain the difference between Perl and Python it just bashes Perl. I sent it to bare-feet Buddy Burden, and he included an extensive post about this in his series about his journey in the world of Perl.

Ovid explains why replacing the programming language and rewriting your whole application might not solve all your problems after all, and how much can it cost you. Maybe your job?

It is mostly aimed at managers, but the writing of chromatic can provide a good list of talking points when your managers starts to talk about rewriting a piece of software.

A bothering question that comes up every now and then. This time Upasana, who is also a newbie to Perl, and the Perl community (she started to learn Perl in December 2011), raises the question. Please, give her a hand with your opinion.

The Perl QA Hackathon is a wonderful annual event for improving Perl, the CPAN ecosystem and the whole community. (I attended two of them.) Participants and organizers invest a lot of time and energy in it, but there are also expenses. The organizers are looking for sponsors to cover these expenses.

A little bash script from Neil Bowers that can be replaced by just typing perldoc -m Module::Name

I am not sure if I'd recommend using Tie::File any more, but as I was just about to write some examples using tie, I think this suggestion of Jesse Shy should be also shown. It certainly is an interesting piece of Perl.

A good opportunity to remind people to use Perl::Critic. The lint of Perl.

So what does the END block do in Perl? Where can you put it? Will it warn when creating a closure? What is a closure anyway?

Version 5.10 of Perl introduced the state keyword, but even before that you could create static variables. Private variables that retain their value between function calls.

Devel::Size provides the functions to check the size of variables. This articles shows some of the results.

Some documented, but strange behavior of arrays in a for loop.
