Hello there!

The good news is that Perl Conference in the USA was just announced. It will take place between 17-22 June, in Salt Lake City, UT.

Also Sticker You is not sponsoring the Perl Maven site. Yay!

What I did not really like is the loud in-fight in the Perl community.

Anyway, enjoy you week!
