Hi there! Last week finally we had the presentation about GitHub Actions for Perl projects - Continuous Integration. Watch the video, click on thumbs up, and follow the channel! If you are looking for more real-world examples check out the listings on the CPAN Digger. There you can see which CPAN distribution has GitHub Actions configured and which one does not. You can look at the recently uploaded distributions or the most central distributions or the distributions by author. The next event will be in 3 days about GitHub Pages for Perl developers. We will start creating a simple static site using just Markdown and no Perl. Then we'll see a few examples how to build web sites on Github pages using Perl. Among the examples we'll see how the web site of the Perl Weekly and The Perl Planetarium are generated. We'll also take a look at some other sites, such as Kantoniko, the Ladino (aka. Judaeo Spanish) dictionary I have been working on. It is using Python, but the same concept could have been implemented in Perl as well. Join us live, ask questions, and get started immediately! In the meantime, there are a few articles, some interesting discussion and the results of the Weekly Challange to entertain you! Have a nice week! Gabor Szabo |

Some stuff does not work in Perl... Is this a real use-case or is someone just looking for edge-cases? |
|
Apparently the ill-fated given-when construct with the smart-match is still available in Perl and some people learn about it now, a decade (?) after it was demoted to be 'experimental'. |
