As reported on Perl 6 Tricks and Treats, finally I managed to use Rakudo Perl 6 from some Perl 5 code.

Perl 6 Tricks and Treats after 6 days

[ 1 Comment | #38655 ]

It's not a full week yet since I announced the Perl 6 Tricks and Treats newsletter and there are almost a 100 subscribers already. This is nice if we take in account that Perl is dead and Perl 6 is vaporware.

I've sent out 3 messages so far:

enjoy, subscribe and invite others

Padre 0.28 is out

[ 0 Comments | #38610 ]

I am late on posting about this but the Padre development was fairly slow in the past few weeks so there are not many news items. Still a few words:

the new Padre 0.28 is on CPAN finally with the names in unicode showing correctly
ppm version of 0.28 for Windows is available
0.28 was already packaged for Fedora
Plugin for initial SVK and SVN integration were released

and I blogged about vim as a Perl IDE

Improving the speed of PPI

[ 3 Comments | #38571 ]

The biggest problem of PPI is that its slow. This causes any code depending on it such at Perl::Critic or the syntax highlighter of Padre to be slow. In the last couple of weeks Semuel Fomberg has been writing a replacement Tokenizer in C++.

See his status report.

I am sure he'll accept your help.

[ 0 Comments | #38516 ]

I am happy to let you know that Padre is now available as a ppm distribution for Active Perl 5.10 on Windows.

In order to install it you'll need to add two repositories:

ppm rep add wxperl http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository ppm rep add padre http://www.perlide.org/download/ppm/

and then you can install:

ppm install Alien-wxWidgest ppm install Wx ppm install Padre

For up to date information see the Download page of Padre

Who is writing about Perl? What do Perlhackers write about?

[ 1 Comment | #38488 ]

chromatic tells us that his Modern Perl books site gets very few incoming links from other bloggers in the Perl community.

so I started (again) to wonder

Who in the Perl community is writing?
What are they writing about ? Perl? Other stuff?
Where are their blogs? On use.perl.org, on a personal site or on some large blogging site?
How can we find them?

I though there are two perl blog aggregators: Planet Perl and Perlsphere but yesterday I heard about the Belgian Perl Planet so there might be others out there.

Oh, yes and of course there are also the Parrot Planet and the Perl 6 Planet

I think I should start a project making sure I'll write in my blog about every Perl related blog I see (outside of use.perl.org) at least once with a link to it.
