• IPW2006 debriefing: how it went, and specially why you shouldn't miss the next one
• Perl::Tags
• Test-driven programming

There's still room for new talks, so we encourage you to submit a proposal. If you want to have details, or to submit a proposal for a lighting talk, visit http://firenze.pm.org or contact Stefano Rodighiero (stefano.rodighiero@gmail.com).

The problems started just after switching to a new provider. We spent a period waiting (and hoping) that our provider could manage to solve his problems, but now we're going to move another time. I'm disappointed. I hope we'll soon be able to bring www.perlmongers.it up again.

A note of interest was the presence of Mattia Barbon, wxPerl's author, who explained me his ideas about how to compile wxPerl under the MacOS X architecture.

You can see some picture here.

First, bad news. wxPerl 0.10 compiles on MacOSX, but it doesn't work. Here some of the output during the test phase:

t/1_load............ClassInfo initialization failed 'wxProcess' at /System/Library/Perl/darwin/DynaLoader.pm line 200. Compilation failed in require at t/1_load.t line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/1_load.t line 6.

By the way, this can't really be considered "news": it's well known by wxPerl users.

Now, good news (for me, at least). I posted on Perlmonks a link to some stuff I wrote about Perl, music and creativity. I had good feedback. I hope the same could happen here.
