Hi there, Personally I have noticed the fresh energy among all Perl fans ever since the release of latest Perl v5.36. I am telling this based on the amount of positive noise I heard on various public platform. There are still few in the pipeline that would give further push e.g. Corinna. If you are interested to know more then please do checkout this page maintained by Curtis Poe. MetaCPAN is another place where you can see all the latest cool Perl projects. I know plenty of volunteers helping to improve the code base. If you use a distribution and you like it then why not share your experience with the Perl Community and submit your proposal to Perl Advent Calendar 2022? Or if you have created one then why not share with rest of the world. If you are new to Perl and needs help then please do give us a shout. There are plenty of help available on various public platforms. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |
