It’s another Monday, it’s another summary and I need to get this finished so I can starting getting the house in order before we head off to Boca Raton and points north and west on the long road to…
Everyone knows that Perl works particularly well as a text processing language, and that it has a great many tools to help the programmer slice and dice text files. Most people know that Perl’s regular expressions are the mainstay…
Another Monday, another Perl 6 Summary. Does this man never take a holiday? (Yes, but only to go to Perl conferences this year, how did that happen?) We start with the internals list as usual. More on timely destruction The…
The Perl Core comes with a lot of little modules to help you get thejob done. Many of these modules are not well-known. Even some of the well-known modules have some nice features that are often overlooked. In this…
Welcome back to another Perl 6 summary in which Piers comes back from watching a load of pretty girls dancing ‘round a huge Maypole in Wellow (it’s 60 feet high, the tallest permanent Maypole in England, there’s been on…
Last time, we looked at writing a simple Apache output filter - Apache::Clean - using the mod_perl 2.0 API. How did I know that the filter I presented really worked? I wrote a test suite for it, one that…
Welcome back to another Perl 6 summary, this week without any ‘comic’ introductions. So, without further ado we press straight on to the happenings in perl6-internals. Makefile issues Bruce Gray sent in a patch to tweak Parrot’s Makefile to…
This article is about a new Perl module called CGI::Kwiki. With this module you can create a Wiki Web site in less than a minute. Now that’s quick. Or more appropriately, ``That’s Kwik!” If you’ve not heard of a…

Another week passes, another summary gets written. How does he do it? We start, as per usual with the still very quiet perl6-internals list. hey sexy where you been? The internals list’s normally impeccable spam filters failed slightly this…
