# Your Perlweekly News, Now 1 Hour Earlier | ||
2014-03-10 | ||
|
||
With the Spring equinox creeping in on us, we have entered Daylight | ||
Saving Time season, this hallowed time of the year where all developers | ||
dealing with international software renew their love with timezone arithmetic. | ||
Well, even though the week was one hour shorter for some of us, we still have a rather | ||
well-furnished newsletter this week. Different summer | ||
internship organizations are beginning to stir, we have discussions on Gittip | ||
and the Perl community, as well as on Perl6 on CPAN, and we have of course | ||
our usual stream of modules and projects. Enjoy! ~ `/anick | ||

2014-03-06 | ||
|
||
Don't get overly excited: Olaf Alders is... fluffing up the truth. | ||
What he means to say is that the Outreach Program for Women and the Goggle | ||
Summer of Code are both taking applicants, and they are both excellent vectors | ||
for students who would like to work on MetaCPAN during the summer. | ||

### Perl master - an interview with brian d foy | ||

2014-03-06 | ||

David Farrell interviews brian d foy, author of the recently published | ||

### Status update on the p5 MOP project | ||
http://blogs.perl.org/users/stevan_little/2014/03/status-update-on-the-p5-mop-project.html | ||
2014-03-05 | ||
|
||
Stevan Little assures us that the p5-mop project is merely resting its eyes, | ||
and is in no way, shape or form dead. Not even a little bit. | ||
|

|
||
## Discussion | ||
|
||
### Installing CPAN modules | ||
http://perlhacks.com/2014/03/installing-modules | ||
2014-03-09 | ||
|
||
Somebody wants to tip their toe in the Perl world and try out a program with | ||
dependencies... they should go with the usual perlbrew/cpanminus combo, right? | ||
Well, maybe not. Dave Cross thinks going with the system perl and | ||
the local package manager might be a better approach, and explains why. | ||
|
||
### Perl 6 and CPAN? Well... | ||
http://rdstar.wordpress.com/2014/03/09/perl6-and-cpan/ | ||
2014-03-09 | ||
|
||
Should Perl 6 modules be put on CPAN? Maybe... Maybe not... There are | ||
quite a few subtle headaches associated with having the Perl 5 and Perl 6 sisters share the same | ||
room. | ||
|
||
### Why I finally joined Gittip and why you should, too | ||
http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/2325/why-i-finally-joined-gittip-and-why-you-should-too/ | ||
2014-03-03 | ||
|
||
Gittip. Probably not the best way to become a software millionaire, but it | ||
sure provides a nice way to give and receive motivational pats in the back. | ||
David Golden joined the site, and argues why you should too. | ||

### Named captures in regular expressions are slow | ||
http://marcelgruenauer.com/2014/03/03/named-captures-in-regular-expressions-are-slow/ | ||
2014-03-03 | ||
|
||
There are no free lunches, according to Marcel Grünauer's benchmarks. Named | ||
captures are easier on the eye and mind, but they do come with a performance | ||
cost. | ||
|
||
|
||
### Lightweight data aggregation and visualization | ||
http://marcelgruenauer.com/2014/03/02/lightweight-data-aggregation-and-visualization/ | ||
2014-03-02 | ||
|
||
What do you do if you want to collect and visualize some data? | ||
If you're Marcel Grünauer, you build a little something | ||
using Web::Machine, App::Cmd, DBIx::Class, PSGI and D3.js. | ||

### How to deploy #Mojolicious apps on @DigitalOcean | ||
http://thorsen.pm/perl/2014/03/09/mojolicious-on-digitalocean.html | ||

|
||
Cloud hosting. Not only convenient, but also pretty easy, as | ||
Jan Henning Thorsen demonstrates. | ||

||
### today's timezone rant | ||
http://rjbs.manxome.org/rubric/entry/2039 | ||
2014-03-08 | ||
|
||
Ricardo Signes celebrates the rolling in of daylight saving time in an | ||
appropriate manner: by ranting about the madness that is time-based | ||
calculation. | ||
|
||
|
||
### PPI and Unicode | ||
http://varlogrant.blogspot.ca/2014/03/it-started-out-with-wanting-to-take-in.html | ||
2014-03-06 | ||
|
||
Perl deals rather magnificiently with unicode-based | ||
variables. PPI? Not so much, as Dave Jacoby found out. | ||
|
||
|
||
### A Less Smart Smartmatch | ||
http://blogs.perl.org/users/toby_inkster/2014/03/a-less-smart-smartmatch.html | ||
2014-03-03 | ||
|
||
A while ago, Toby Inkster came with a simpler smartmatch. Now, it also comes in an | ||
XS variety, for extra speed. | ||

### Exobrain setup is now even easier! | ||
http://pjf.id.au/tech/2014/03/06/exobrain-setup-is-now-even-easier.html | ||
2014-03-06 | ||
|
||
Paul Fenwick pursues his quest for the perfect exobrain. | ||
This time around, he tweaks its architecture such that | ||
its lobes are now independent components. Which, amongst other things, reduces | ||
drastically the number of dependencies of the core Exobrain. | ||
