Hi there, A big round of applause to the entire team behind the ground breaking release of Perl v5.36. I have been following the features of the latest release very closely. I am confident it would be a solid foundation for Corinna and v7. Have you had chance to play with Perl v5.36? If not then please do checkout my blog post, where I shared my first hand experience playing with Perl v5.36. Have you ever thought of contributing to your favourite language, Perl? A little over a decade, I submitted a small patch via email. Those days, the process was not as smooth as it is today. Unfortunately I never received any acknowledgment. Ever since Perl, found the new home in GitHub, it is so easy to submit the patches. I submitted a small change to the core Perl. To my surprise, in 2 days, it got accepted and merged. It has given me confidence to submit more. Why don't you also give it a try? Last but not least, I would like to thank each and everyone for all the support via Patreon, I received in the last few weeks. I am overwhelmed, to be honest. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter.
