The Strawberry flavoured edition of Perl 5.22 is already available as well.

by Matt S. Trout (MSTROUT)

Since 2010, Matt has been giving "State of the Velociraptor" talks at Perl events, covering what's new in Perl 5. He's now passed on the baton to Sawyer X, which seems like an excellent choice!

David's regular round-up of notable new modules on CPAN, including his new module of the month, which this time was App::GitHooks::Plugin::ForceBranchNamePattern.

by Andrew Shitov (ANDY)

Andrew describes the Perl golf competition held at YAPC::Russia this year, and walks us through his solution.

by Helmut Wollmersdorfer (WOLLMERS)

Helmut shows us how he eliminated recursion in his LCS module, to avoid the warning about too-deep recursion.

by brian d foy (BDFOY)

brian sets a simple challenge, which you have to write a Perl solution for in 5 minutes. Then a day later, write another solution from scratch, and see how your two solutions differ.

by Theo van Hoesel (VANHOESEL)

An update from Theo on his ACT grant, and also on his new job in London!

by Tony Cook (TONYC)

In April Tony did 83.25 hours on Perl 5, during which time he worked on 40 different tickets.

If you're going to YAPC::EU this year, please mark which talks you're interested in attending. This helps the organisers allocate talks to appropriately sized rooms, and lets you build a personalised schedule.

by Jonathan Worthington (JONATHAN)

So first we all need to congratulate Jonathan on his nuptials. Oh, and he did some Perl 6 stuff too!

by Carl Mäsak

The Perl History channel.

Pragmatic Perl

You're probably hearing a bit about microservices these days. Here Martin suggests that you should always start with a monolothic architecture, and only start breaking out microservices when you've got enough experience and understanding of the problem.

Andrew argues that when someone gives you, or your project, feedback, the only correct response is to say "thank you". I certainly need to do better on that score.

A simple example using Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible
