Hi there,
Olaf Alders, founder of MetaCPAN, paying touching tribute to the team of search.cpan.org. Lets all give helping hand to the team of MetaCPAN.
Neil Bowers shares the history of CPAN. Infact he first published it few years ago on CPAN Day. He updated the history with regard to the closure to search.cpan.org. It is worth reading the detailed history.
Last but not the least, a very thought provoking discussion by Tim King on the topic How viable is Perl?.
Enjoy reading this week newsletter!
