Hi there It seems I have less and less to write about in these editorials. This is of course not very surprising as I there are fewer and fewer articles published about Perl. The only thing that still keeps this afloat is the Weekly Challenge of Mohammad. So maybe you can sponsor it? Sad news: Just a few days ago I heard that Dave Hodgkinson has passed away last December. LinkedIn, Facebook, and his web site where he posted in November. May he rest in peace and his family find solace. He will be missed. In a totally unrelated sadness: It has been six months. I wish you a nicer week! Gabor Szabo |
