use Perl

The use.perl RSS feed is messed up in some particular way that makes Google Reader unable to parse it (at least it was a few days ago).

I setup a Feedburner feed to parse it and output something cleaner:

I've mentioned it before, but ack really rocks. I've noticed that on both consulting and startup projects I use it almost exclusively over grep now.

As I slowly, very slowly, get out of the habit of making pipelines for my searches it's tremendously useful. Another habit I need to pick up to enjoy it even more is that ack has a proper regexp feature set. I realize grep does too, but I don't remember my owl book well enough to ever get much use out of them. Perl regexps on the other hand...

Anyway, if you haven't tried it before - go get it.

The svn repository and issue tracker is on google code. Or maybe Andy is using rt.cpan.org for bug tracking? I guess either will work... (?)

Oh no. This is so sad.

update from Graham. Thank you Nick!
