Summer is here, and with the nice sunny time, blog entries are getting a little more scarce. But we still have a few nice morsels for you this week. The Perl6 weekly is back in force, Reini found out an itsy bitsy little thing that, once tweaked, improved the speed of the Perl 5 core testing by a lot, and, uh, I might have full mad scientist while nobody was looking. So, pour yourself a nice exotic drink, bring the tablet/phone/laptop outside, and enjoy both your PerlWeekly and some of the Sun's warmth! ~ `/anick Yanick Champoux |

Testing

by Reini Urban (RURBAN) Sometimes, performance is performance. Sometimes, it can be improved with lots of hard work. Sometimes, you look in a dark nook of the mystery box and notice a button with "turbo" written on it. Reini was wondering why the Perl code testsuites were so pokie on his mac, and his investigations lead to one such button... |
