It will take place on March 13-15, 2013

by Ron Savage (RSAVAGE)

Have you ever wondered what is Yacc and Bison? Maybe Lex and Flex? Have you heard of Marpa? Do you know the job of a lexer and a parser? Do you know how to turn a grammar into a real language? Ron Savage explains all that.

by Joel Berger (JBERGER)

Joel Berger shows the power of Mojo::DOM that can use CSS3 seletors using a very simple and clear example.

by Yanick Champoux (YANICK)

Yanick Champoux extended his previous idea of testing the Dancer plugins, to test any set of Perl modules and to be extensible.

by Flávio Glock (FGLOCK)

Perlito allows compiling Perl to Javascript and running it in your browser. I think it can be very useful as an educational tool, or, if it had easy access to the DOM in the browser, you could write your front-end code in Perl.

by Gabor Szabo (SZABGAB)

This is the first step in my attempt to (re)build the Perl distribution that will contain everything you will ever need to build Perl applications.

Tim Bunce finished just enough of the code to give a presentation at YAPC::Asia that you can watch after reading the description how this tool tries to help understanding the memory use of Perl applications.

Kevin Carillo from New Zealand is doing a research on Free/Open Source Software communities. He is asking us to complete his survey.

It is probably only interesting to people who are writing applications where there is an actual interaction with users, but such application are also written in a modular way. So knowing how to make it easier to translate the text displayed by your application is a good thing.

The Perl Foundation offers grants between $500-$2000 for projects that need a little financial help. The dead-line to submit your proposal is 31 October 2012.

by Dave Mitchell

The report of Dave Mitchell contains a couple interesting issues with the regex engine of perl. For example you probably knew that using $` or $' will make your regexes slow. Did you also know that using these variables can make your regexes correct? It has been fixed now. (I'll let you guess which part was fixed.).

This is the report of Nicholas Clark.

by Solomon Foster

Some interesting Perl 6 code examples by Solomon Foster (colomon). For example, operations on infinite ranges.

I think LinkedIN provides a great platform to find potential employees, employers, clients or service providers. For a long time it had a feature where you could recommend people by writing a few lines of, well, recommendation. Now they have a new feature that makes it much easier to endorese people. It is only a click away. brian d foy explains the new feature and recommends that you use it. I am not sure how to really encourage people to do that, but I do think it can be an important factor in finding good Perl developers. I'd also recommend to watch the linked presentation of Rachel Botsman.

by Dave Cross (DAVECROSS)

Dave Cross finished the second run of his Modern Perl training class in London. This time he charged a little money and more people turned up to his class than the previous time when the training was free.
