Hi there,

As always, Curtis Ovid, started interesting discussion with regard to what features we wanted in Perl 5.

Interesting take on Tech Jargon. I always wonder why even technical user misuse it so much.

Anyone interested in the internals of Perl 5 engine? Michael Conrad gives brief overview.

Last but not the least, nearly 2 weeks left for The Perl Conference in Glasgow. Please do come and join the celebration. If you haven't booked your ticket yet then please do buy your ticket without any further delay.
