Hi there, Congratulation to all England cricket team fans for the T20I world cup trophy. You played like a champion in the final. Although you beat us (India) in the semi final, still I am very happy for you. Did you hear any update about Corinna recently? We used to get regular update earlier and I really enjoyed the discussion about the Corinna. Last week Curtis shared a tweet where he mentioned that code example has been added to README.md. I am sure you are going to love it. Thank you Curtis and the entire team of Corinna for all the hard work. We are waiting for it patiently. There was one more tweet by Curtis that made my day about the proposed feature of Perl v5.38 where you no longer need to end module with true value. In my career of 23 years, I have come across many creative ways to return true values in the module. I welcome this change and thanks the entire team. I am keeping the editorial short this week as I am running short of time. Enjoy the rest of the newsletter. Mohammad Sajid Anwar |
