Fresh from the New York hackaton of last May, Charlie jumped back into the fray and attended the recent Perl mini-conference that happened in the Big Apple.

by Dave Rolsky (DROLSKY)

Different tools are good for different tasks. When is it better to use Perl, and when is it better to use Go? Dave gives us his two cents on the topic.

by David Farrell (DFARRELL)

Perl's testing ecosystem is awesome. One of its core tools is 'prove'. If you don't already know how to use it, you're in luck: David will show you the important bits.

Running JavaScript tests from within a Perl TAP testsuite? Don't mind if we do.

by Paul Evans (PEVANS)

Paul is working on adding a 'pairsort' function to List::Util. Something that, at first, looked rather daunting, until he began to look at the problem from a different angle...

by Curtis Brandt (CURTIS)

Curtis introduces Mojo::Snoo. What's Mojo::Snoo? A Mojo wrapper for the Reddit API. Obviously.

by Helmut Wollmersdorfer (WOLLMERS)

Premature optimization is the root of all evil. But sometimes the need for speed is legitimate. Helmut needed Algorithm::Diff to be fast and put his nose to the grindstone. Fairly impressive sparks ensues.

by Chris Tijerina (CAMSPI)

Camspi dives into the world of Dancer2 request parameters -- where they are coming from, how to to select subsets of them based on their source, that kind of stuff.

Jesse draws our attention on Koding.com, which offers a cloud-based IDE for development (supporting, amongst other languages/environment, Perl, natch).

Cookies. They are delicious. Or, at the very least, darn useful in a web framework context. Andrew shows three different ways they can be used in Dancer2.

by Thomas Klausner (DOMM)

domm was in charge of the music for his sister wedding. He also had over twelve thousand songs to sift through. It goes without saying, the scene was laid for a small script to come riding in and save the day (or, at least, shorten its workload by a few hours).

by Helmut Wollmersdorfer (WOLLMERS)

To practice his hand at Perl6, Helmut ported two of his CPAN modules, Net::Similarity and Bag::Similarity to Perl6.

Couldn't come to YAPC? A shame. But at least you can access most (if not all) of its talks via its YouTube channel.

Andrew is very keen to attract Perl Beginners into the community and feel included at the conference, so he is offering a one-day training class for people new to Perl. If you know anyone who might be interested and who needs an excuse for a vacation in Granada, Spain, signing up to this course is the perfect solution!

Your computer does not really have an IP address. If anywhere it belongs to the network device in your computer, and you probably have more than one of those.

As part of the 'counter examples' in this version you'll find a counter with a relational database, but without writing a single line of SQL.
