Hi there, Few months ago, there was a blog post Why Perl is still relevant in 2022 created a lot of noise among the Perl community. The author clearly missed the point. If you check the comments section, you can see how, White Camel Awardee, Dave Cross and few others responed to the post. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that Dave came up with perfect response to the other blog post with this This is not your grandfather’s Perl. It has already created positive noise. If you want to take a closer look at the recent changes to the latest release of Perl v5.36 then please do checkout the GitHub repository sharing the changes with example. By the way, it is not just limited to v5.36. You will find plenty more to keep you busy. Talking about Perl, we got another gem from Curtis Poe sharing the Current Corinna Status. If you can't wait for Corinna, I would suggest you take a look at CPAN module Object::Pad by Paul Evans. Last but not the least, today, Monday 19 September, the date of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's State Funeral declared as National Bank Holiday. Please checkout the rest of the newsletter.
