Hi,
Finally, on this week a new version of Rakudo Star was released. This brought us a number of Perl 6 related articles.
Other than that, I am back from my vacation and I am looking forward to new ways to help people use Perl.
I'll blog about that later but now let's see the articles from the last 7 days...
