• 2026.04.10 in #768 Net::Nostr
  The Net::Nostr module is a clean, idiomatic Perl module for communicating with and performing tasks that comply with the Nostr Protocol. Net::Nostr abstracts away many of the complexities associated with signing events, relaying data, and converting between different formats. This technical assessment describes how modular design can successfully use Schnorr signatures as well as other advanced signature types when creating decentralised social networks using Perl. Developing applications based on the decentralised social space will only be possible if you can successfully communicate and implement these functions within your program.
