Hi there! Sorry for sending out this edition later than usual, I have been super busy with various video recordings. Primarily the live events I have been doing lately. I think they work quite well. I am also glad that there are a number of Perl Monger meetings you can attend on-line. It is just a matter of allocating the time. Because I am late with the newsletter the email from Sawyer X in which he writes about his resignation from PSC and Core found its way to my inbox and into the newsletter as well. Surprising. Well, Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

Articles

|
by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB) One of my clients is using this module, so I thought I would try it to see how it is being used. |
|
|
by Flavio Poletti (POLETTIX) Fatpack makes it easy to create a single-file distribution from your perl-only application. So how can you distribute Fatpack itself as a Fatpack? |

One-liners
|
by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB) I think is the first time I have created an animated gif recording my terminal. Nice. |
|
Web
|
by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB) An example trying to show how to use an in-memory SQLite database with Dancer. I wrote this in response to a query by someone, but I am not sure there is any good reason to do anything like this in a real application. |
|
|
by Dave Cross (DAVECROSS) Dave has been working on a new version of his personal web site that forced him to explore various web technologies. | 
|
|
by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB) A full example of a simple CGI script rewritten to be a PSGI script that can be deployed both as CGI - for backward compatibility, and using Starman. The article contains the Rexfile to deploy the whole thing including Apache on an Ubuntu based server. |

Our client is looking for a Perl programmer who wants to tame the job jungle for employers and employees through their candidate sourcing and data management products. The role is 100% remote within the United States. |
|
The client is interested in anyone with experience building web apps in Perl, using one of the major Perl frameworks. If you’re a crack-hand with Catalyst, a Mojolicious master, or a distinguished Dance, they want you. You’ll be deploying apps your work to AWS, so experience would be handy, and the company’s big on testing, so they’d like you to know your way around Test::More. |
|
With a knack for tailoring content to a variety of site aesthetics, our client sets a banquet of advertising delights for over 349 million consumers around the world. If your mouth is watering at the thought of joining this dynamic team and you’re a senior Perl programmer with a solid understanding of Go programming languages, they just might set a place for you at the table. |
|
Our client takes the legwork out of the hunt for the best bargain, offering one of the largest product and price comparison platforms in German-speaking countries. Client is willing to consider all candidates with strong Perl, but they make heavy use of PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and Modern Perl. |
|
Our client is an online financial services company, still rapidly expanding after 20 years of impressive growth. With a truly international presence, they’re well known globally in their niche. Looking for Perl developers with a strong background in Modern Perl – you should be comfortable with Moose and PSGI/Plack, and a solid grounding in using Perl’s testing tools. |
