latest | archive | edited by Yanick Champoux
Don't miss the next issue!

Hi, Most of this issue was put together by Yanick, (thanks man!), I only added a few entries and this opening. - I have been waiting for the announcement and I am glad it is out. There are going to be a number of training classes before and after YAPC::NA in the beginning of June. I am responsible for two of the classes. I hope to see many of the Perl Weekly readers at the conference and maybe even in the course. In the meantime, enjoy the articles! Yanick Champoux |

YES! To get the ball rolling, Dancer2 now has its own namespace, and has been released on CPAN. Dancer1 also saw its first release of 2013, and has new maintenance stewards. |

by John Napiorkowski (JJNAPIORK) Like Catalyst? Like REST? John Napiorkowski presents new features of the latest Catalyst, including the option to limit actions to specific HTTP methods. |

YAPC::NA comes with a neat list of satellite classes and courses. Be sure to have a peek and see if anything's for you in the lot. |
|
This is already the 10th post in what seems to be 'live blogging' while creating a web application using Catalyst on shared hosting. |
Testing
|
by David Golden (DAGOLDEN) Test::NoWarnings: useful, but flawed. David Golden: pragmatic, but impatient. Say hello to his latest module, Test::FailWarnings. |

Code
|
Timmy had Lassie. What's-her-name had Flipper, and What's-his-face had Skippy. Yanick, it seems, has a pet caribou. |
|
by Peter Krumins (PKRUMINS) Quick, what's the difference between [:digit:] and [:xdigit:]? If you are not sure, the pretty graph generated by Peteris Krumins might be able to help you. |

Perl. Constants. Eduardo Arino de la Rubia goes "shake-shake-shake" with that Pandora box. |
|
Sometimes, miyagawa reminds us, local crud (like the MYMETA* files) gets bundled in CPAN distributions, something that could easily be prevented by a few judicious lines in the distribution's MANIFEST.SKIP. |
|
Eduardo Arino de la Rubia continues his quest to find which constant module to use. He's been told that Const::Fast is faster, so he benchmarked it. |
|
Rejoice, game makers, for Kartik Thakore lets us know that the SDL2 API is stabilizing, and that the work on its Perl bindings is under way. |
Fun
|
by John Napiorkowski (JJNAPIORK) The title pretty much says it all. Thanks for John Napiorkowski, the list of features for the next Catalyst release is on Play Perl, all ready for your voting and commenting pleasure. |
