Jonas B. Nielsen at logicLAB is using Perl and Jenkins for continuous integration. These are the Perl modules you need to use to work with Jenkins.

Mark Keating (MDK) provides his 3rd and very detailed report about the status of The Perl Foundation related tasks in the Google Code-in project. Nice charts too.

chromatic describes the problems people who are not in the core perl community face when trying to figure out what and how to use. He explains what kind of documentation he would like to see added to CPAN modules. That resonates very much with how I am planning to expand my Perl tutorials.

by Curtis 'Ovid' Poe (OVID)

It seems Ovid does not spend enough time on his book, blogging and moving from Amsterdam to Paris so he wrote color highlighting for the built-in debugger of Perl.

Shlomi Fish (rindolf) writes about a few things he has done recently. The most interesting being his work on the built-in debugger of perl and how it needs more test cases. I connected him to Kevin Dawson (bowtie) who has been enhancing the Debug::Client module that is a front end to the built-in debugger. I hope they'll figure out some way to share the tasks.

Alberto Simões writes about his new module that is supposed to do language detection. And I was just wondering recently how could I do that automatically.

by Curtis 'Ovid' Poe (OVID)

Ovid showed us a horrific regex that he is going to include in his new book. First he got some comments on Facebook and then blogged about it with a modified version of the same thing.

by Damian Conway (DCONWAY)

Steve Dalton and Craig Aspinall are discussing Perl with Jacinta Richardson, Paul Fenwick and Damian Conway during OSDC. It is a 45-min long podcast in Australian, but to my surprise, I understood most of the words.

by Moritz Lenz (MORITZ)

Moritz Lenz looks back how the specification hardly changed and how the two main implementation Rakudo and Niecza moved forward. He also writes about the Ecosystem and Community around Perl 6.

by JT Smith (RIZEN)

JT Smith continues with his daily post about the upcoming YAPC::NA. He even discovered the YAPC::NA mailing list so to cover everyone with news. He closed the year with a post about National Mustard Museum in Madison.

I am not sure how many of you know Plain Black, that's the company behind WebGUI. JT Smith, the owner is the guy organizing YAPC::NA this year. (Yeah the one recommending us to visit the National Mustard Museum).

Take a look at the new face of the Enlightened Perl Organization.
