I probably met Stuart at one of the Perl conferences, though unfortunately I am really bad recalling names so I don't remember. (Sorry, Stuart.) Worse than that I don't have his name in my e-mail archive nor is he in my LinkedIn contact list that could remind me. I could not find any of his blog posts mentioned in the Perl Weekly, not even the whyperl.info he links to. I am surprised we have not bumped into it nor has anyone asked the editors of the Perl Weekly to include that site. If you know him, please comment on the TPF nomination page so we can also get to know him. If you have any questions to him, ask that so we can know about his thoughts more before he becomes the president of The Perl Foundation.

Tina continued to work on her App::Spec module and also created a collection of generated completion scripts for bash and zsh.

It isn't easy. First you encounter spaces. Then other special characters. Then quotes. Is there an end to this?

I have this series of interviews with tech leader in which I ask about the R and D practicesi in their organization. The most recent episode wat with Dino Simone the co-founder of The Black List, a Perl-based company. BTW if you'd like to get your company featured on the series, let me know.

A Perl success story (without mentioning Perl).

CPAN Testers can display PASS or FAIL according to the test results and they can also display NA in case the test was not relevant. For example a Windows-specific test-case when executed on a Linux box. Yuki got some exmplanation how to tell the CPAN testers that this is the case.

I always felt that the extensive use of special characters in Perl makes it hard to search for good answers in a generic search engine. It is interesting to read how Dan implemented search for the perldoc.pl site. It would be even more interesting to if you can come up with queries that don't get a good response or non at all. I am sure Dan will be happy to get reports and the opportunity to further improve the search engine.

Domm biked to the French workshop and blogged about with pictures. I wish I was brave and strong enought to do a trip like this. As an alternative I read his post and look at the pictures.

When’s the last time you worked someplace for decades? Our client, nestled in charming Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has a lot of programmers who meet that criterion. Why? It’s simply a wonderful home for programmers. They’re a shop with focus, and devoted to Perl – and only Perl.

Sitting right at the junction of technology and life sciences, this is a unique role. The company’s priority is to hire a candidate with excellent modern Perl skills, so they are happy to consider strong developers coming from other industries who show a genuine interest in moving into the bioinformatics field.

It’s incredible how diseases and illnesses that were once fatal can be so easily treated today. Medical progress ploughs forward, but it relies on technological breakthrough. That’s where you and our client come in.

If you subscribe to Einstein’s view that “creativity is intelligence having fun”, you’ll be in very good company, working within a Cambridge science park surrounded by smart people looking to make difference. They pay well too, without being in central London.

An Irvine, California-based software company is looking for developers to help revolutionize and democratize the job recruitment game. If you’re proficient in Perl and enthusiastic about other platforms, this could be your opportunity to streamline the job market by helping recruiters make better decisions about candidates and vice versa.
