Feeling like going West in May? OpenWest is having its call for papers as we speak.

Thanks to David, you can now augment your herd of glyphs with Perl's well-known sigils -- the camel, the onion and Camelia the butterfly, they are now available in beautifully scalable svg glory.

by Neil Bowers (NEILB)

For the PR Challenge, Neil had to come up with a way to rank CPAN distributions and figure out which ones are the best candidates for the challenge. He explains here the heuristics he's using to come up with that score.

"What is the Perl QA HAckathon, and why should I care?" Good questions, and master Bowers provides equally good answers.

Rare indeed are the developer tasks for which the path to realization is a straight one. Renée's journey in January seems to have been particularly sinuous.

CPAN Testers, integral to the success of Perl as an ecosystem, but seldom actively noticed. To let those unsung heroes taste a little bit of the glamour, mdk proposes a series of smoking signs.

This irks brian, so he rolled up his sleeves and dove into the C++-fueled heart of darkness.

by Graham Ollis (PLICEASE)

Graham previously extolled the potential of FFI (Foreign Function Interface) at YAPC::NA 2014. Here he introduces FFI::Platypus, which adds the 'F' of friendliness to the mix.

'Yertl' suspiciously resemble the sound a strangled dba makes. It's also a new set of command-line tools to deal with database ETL operations that looks very promising.

A new offering in the realm of slide generation.
