Hi there, Belated Happy Independence Day to all fellow Indians. We celebrated 75th Anniversary of Independence on 15th August, a proud moment for all of us. Ever since the release of Perl v5.36, everyone is looking forward to the next big thing in the pipeline, Corinna. I am sure, you don't need an introduction but if you do then you can take a look at this official documentation. Curtis Poe recently shared the latest update about the Corinna (MVP) as accepted by The Perl Steering Committee as detailed in the document. Do you follow the latest release to CPAN on MetaCPAN? I noticed one particular distribution, WWW::Mechanize, currently maintained by a friend of mine and colleague at work, Julien Fiegehenn. He is on the mission to clear pending issues. He shared the news recently that pull request queue is empty in this Twitter thread. I noticed the distribution has 92.50% coverage. If you have spare time and would like to contribute then please do help get 100% coverage. Perl jobs in London seems getting back on track. Couple of days ago, I received an email about Perl role in London by Perl Careers. The title of the post caught my eye, Perl Developer and Business Owner?. Last but not the least, I would like to recommend Learning Perl Exercises by brian d foy. I am sure, you will find it handy. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |
