Hi, APW - the Austrian Perl Workshop has ended and it created a flurry of Perl 6 related blog posts. I am not sure if the activity level of the Perl 6 developer was also substantially increased or not, but we, people who don't follow Perl 6 that closely can suddenly see that things are happening. That's great. BTW how do you like the changes in the Perl Weekly? Do you see the images on the right? Enjoy your week! ~szabgab Gabor Szabo |

A study of code abstraction: Modern developers are shielded from the inner workings of computers and networks thanks to several layers of code abstraction. We'll dig into those layers from a single line of Perl code, down to the bytes that get produced at the bottom of the API stack. (PDF) by Patrick Lambert (reddit) |
Perl Maven Pro
The Perl Maven Pro subscribers receive two new articles and screencasts every week. The last week these were the two screencasts:
|
The third and final part of the mini-series in which we tested random numbers, abstracted out a testing function, and them moved it to a module to be usable by anyone. |
|
Every example I see receives the singleton Test::Builder object in a different way. So what is the right way? |
Testing
|
by David Farrell (DFARRELL) David Farrell is working on a 2D game engine called March which uses a composition pattern for its actors. This is how he tests the code. | 
|
|
The CPAN Testers service needs financial help to pay for the hosting. If your company relies on Perl and thinks that having high quality Perl modules is important for their business, let them know about the need! |

Perl 6
|
by Carl Mäsak Carl Mäsak started a series of articles discussing macros in Perl 6. A huge topic with lot of unclear dark corners. See also the feedback. | 
|
|
by Patrick R. Michaud After long break Patrick Michaud writes a blog post about leaving flatland, how Perl 6 has less and less flattening functions and operators. | 
|
|
How can macros relate to each other or use each other? AngularJS has outside-inside relationship. What should Perl 6 have? |
|
by Solomon Foster Solomon Foster (colomon) is being confused by the flattening (or not) behaviour of Perl 6. So what can mere mortals say? |
