Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.

Grammar Bad
The headline reads Rumours of SARS spreading by SMS. I couldn't believe it! I clicked on the link thinking that there were some very gullible people thinking that you can catch SARS via SMS messages.
No, the article states that rumours, not SARS, were being spread via SMS. Someone needs to pay a little more attention to their wording.

Noun Phrase (Score:1)
"Plural of noun" can often be simplified to "Noun plural". It works pretty well in this case: "SARS Rumors Spreading by SMS".

The bad grammar certainly got a lot more clickthroughs than a proper headline would.
