Perl Weekly
Issue #252 - 2016-05-23 - They keep on writing
latest | archive | edited by Neil Bowers

We have a number of prolific bloggers in our community,
which I think is a good thing.
This week we have posts from a number of them:
the Russians have War and Peace, but Buddy gives us Date and Time;
Max's spring cleaning may take him through to winter;
and Zoffix continues introducing his road trip through Perl 6.
