Hi there! The Perl Toolchain Summit was held last week in Lyon, France. The website itself does not have a lot of information on it, but luckily the participants have blogged about it. There is plenty for you to read now if you'd like to keep up with the development in Perl, how to package Perl modules; how to install them, how CPAN and MetaCPAN work etc. The PTS is a small even for people who are very deeply involved in the Perl ecosystem. It is a brain-storming session and a Hackathon. I wish there were similar session held more frequently around the world. If you are looking for some Perl related event to participate in, there are two that I know of listed at the bottom of the newsletter and on our events page. One is the The Perl and Raku Conference in July in Toronto, Canada and the other one is the Perl and Koha conference in August in Helsinki, Finland. If you have the time and the budget make sure you attend at least one of them! In the meantime, enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |

After a meeting around an actual physical table at the Perl Toolchain Summit last week, the three of us were back to our regular video calls. The call was longer than usual, as we delved into the code of CPAN.pm. |
