Miguel Prz (NICEPERL)'s regular lists: Great modules released last week; MetaCPAN weekly report; StackOverflow Perl report.

ActiveState announced that going forward they'll focus on supporting regular CPAN tools for installing modules, rather than focussing on their own Perl Package Manager.

More of Max's tidying up and releasing new code to CPAN.

The first release candidate for Perl 5.26 was released at the toolchain summit. Dot in @INC is still a topic.

by Elizabeth Mattijsen (ELIZABETH)

Liz's weekly round-up of Perl 6 news, which includes the Perl 6 happenings at toolchain summit.

by Olaf Alders (OALDERS)

Olaf's report on how he spent the toolchain, hacking on a range of things related to MetaCPAN. Be sure to read all the way to the end, including the slightly scary story of things leaking from his plane!

by Todd Rinaldo

One of the discussions at the summit was on the change in 5.26 where '.' (the current directory) is being dropped from @INC. These are Todd's notes from that discussion.

by Paul Johnson (PJCJ)

The fourth report in Paul's day-by-day series on the summit. He worked on Devel::Cover and CPAN Cover, just for a change.

by Todd Rinaldo

Todd and his colleague Nicolas created grep.metacpan.org at the toolchain summit, with hosting courtesy of the MetaCPAN team.

by Leo Lapworth (LLAP)

Leo is the sysadmin for the MetaCPAN project, so a lot of his todo list related to the infrastructure, and also helped a few people get setup with the developer VM for MetaCPAN.

by Ed J

Mohawk mainly worked on ExtUtils::MakeMaker, but he also helped Ingy with Inline::C.

by Doug Bell (PREACTION)

Doug is the project lead for CPAN Testers, so unsurprisingly that was his focus during the summit. His main task a new API for uploading test reports.

by Ingy döt Net (INGY)

Ingy worked on the YAML module, and various related tools and modules.

by Tina Müller (TINITA)

Two reports for the price of one! Before the toolchain summit, Tina and Ingy had a YAML summit in Berlin. At the toolchain summit Tina worked with Ingy on the YAML module, and other YAML tools.

by Neil Bowers (NEILB)

One of the problems with CPAN is releases that don't have a META.yml or META.json file. We want to try and fix these, particularly those that are used by other CPAN distributions.

My report on the things I worked on at the summit.

Crowd funding for a book about Web Application Development in Perl 6

Personally, I love Agile and Scrum so much I wrote a set of blog articles detailing why I love them so much. But it’s not everyone's cup of tea. Some people yearn for being given a two-week task, going away, and getting it done well by themselves, or in consultation with highly technical and well-read colleagues.

I love working in a vibrant, modern space. If you’re going to spend all day at work, it might as well be somewhere you enjoy being, rather than a cubicle farm. This client has a workspace I’m actively jealous of!

Love Perl but want to skill-up on another stack at your employer’s expense? Client is a major and dynamics UK company with a large (and pretty Modern) Perl codebase who have started extended their technical stack to include Scala and NodeJS.
