As I can see The Perl and Raku Conference in the cloud starts tomorrow. I am a bit confused as don't remember a lot of promotion of the event. Some people complain that the content created by the Perl Weekly Challenge has flooded the Perl Weekly Newsletter. I'd say if there was more Perl content outside of the PWC that we can share then we could consider reducing the amount of space the PWC takes up. BTW that reminds me, I think the events page and the events section at the bottom of the newsletter is shrinkig as the event organizers rarely send updates. I guess having these links did not bring them visitors. Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

by Mark Gardner A provocative title essentially that does not talk about exception handling. Or does it? |

Discussion

Python provides excellent ways to introspect an object. Perl less so. This makes it difficult to create editing tools and makes the life of people who are not yet experts in the specific libraries (which is basically everyone) harder. |
|
by Bartosz Jarzyna With some discussion here. I would especially point out that after the initial angry response and the clarification Diab Jerius appologized. That shows a much higher maturity than we have seen in recent weeks. (Diab was also right that the original blog post without the background could have been misunderstood.) |

A couple of entries sneaked in by Gabor.

by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB) About 10 days ago I posted on LinkedIn that I am open for new clients that need help in (test) automation, Dockerization, implementing CI/CD, or in code improvements. Especially in Perl or Python. To my pleasant surprise quite a few people upvoted my post, some shared it. I got 7 requests and have already started to work at one of these clients. Nevertheless I still have some extra time and would be also interested to have an overseas client. So if your company needs such help, let's talk. |

by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB) In my spare time I have been learning Crystal and writing a web application. The result is that I'll be also presenting at the Crystal conference. |
