Hi there! The reports about YAPC::EU are still flowing in and I expect more to come in the coming days and weeks. About the title story: At first I did not want to include that entry in the Perl Weekly, but then I saw the comment by Liz. I have not seen such comments earlier and I am glad I see it now. If you don't have time to read anything else, read that comment. (and watch the video by Lestrrat) Enjoy your week. Produce more Perl code and more articles on using Perl! Gabor Szabo |

Perl 6

by Andrew Sterling Hanenkamp (HANENKAMP) I was happy to see another step in the direction of having a standard web interface for Perl 6 web applications, but then I read the comments and got totally confused. Actually, I think it is nice to have this even if this is not the 'perfect' solution. It is better to move forward constantly than to sit back and wait for someone to land the 'perfect' solution. Especially as we know how silver bullets work. |

by Viacheslav Tykhanovskyi (VTI) Getting a (Perl programming) job in Europe is not an easy task. Especially if you are from Ukraine. Especially as it seems companies tend to 'forget' to answer your e-mails. Vti started a year ago, but where is vti today? |
