Don't miss the next issue!

I let my weekend get away from me, so I'm hustling around to find you some news. Start planning now for 2018 events! mdk is already hard at work for the European Perl Conference in August, so what's your excuse? Also, kind of huge news on the Perl 6 front--there is a CPAN for Perl 6!

Après–Perl…ski! Junior and Senior roles in the Swiss Alps

Picture an idyllic village high up in the Swiss Alps, with expansive views down to the valley below and the craggy mountains in the distance.

Now picture a traditional wooden chalet nestled in that village, housing a busy team of Perl developers working with the latest Perl technologies. Seems unlikely? Well, lovers of the great outdoors will be delighted to hear that this is a reality!
