Hi there, Sorry for the delayed newsletter. At least you get a rather fat edition and I have not even included most of the Perl 6 related articles. For those check out the Perl 6 Weekly. You might have already read that I am writing a book about Web application development in Perl 6 and I am crowdfunding it. There are already more than 80 people supporting it, but I was hoping to have more. A lot more. There are more than 6,000 people reading the Perl Weekly. I was hoping at least a 1,000 of you will support it. Not only for the money, but in order to show everyone else you believe in Perl 6, and you trust me to write you a good book. Or, if you don't care about Perl 6, you could just say: heck this is my way to thank Gabor for running the Perl Weekly for 6 years. Either way, please support the book now! Gabor Szabo |

There’s Bad CGI, and there’s Good CGI. Bad CGI involves your web-server standing up new perl processes for incoming requests, where Good CGI makes the films you watch magical. This job – unusually for Perl – involves Good CGI. |

Not everyone’s like me. Perhaps nobody’s like me. But when it comes to enjoying programming jobs, and particularly when it comes to enjoying Perl programming jobs, there are two things that are needed to make me happy that I suspect resonate with most other career developers. |

It’s no secret that I used to run a Perl team myself in Central London, and was competing for talent with the other teams. By far the hardest team to compete with was the one whose technical leader was making sure his team were always using the best tools.. |
