use Perl

putter suggests we rotate selected items every three months. However, I decided to subject the entire site to that treatment. Hence the current Fall 2005 edition will expire on the end of October. New design ideas are most welcome! :-)

mjl69 mentioned that he has been looking for a T-shirt featuring Pythagoras's Theorem. So I produced one and filled it into another non-pugs-related store.

iblech got DrIFT working on his machine, tweaked DrIFT.Perl5 to escape things properly, then started porting PIL2JS from the old $node->[0][1][0] style to the new, much saner $node->{pFun}{pBody}{pStmt} based on the new -CPerl5 backend.

fglock hacked through the Perl 5 runtime, implementing Hash containers and various boxed value classes -- with tests, too!

putter conjured up a Rul class that serves as a pure-Perl6 representation of a Perl 6 rule. He took over :w and :i handling from PGE, and implemented a new :overlap adverb.

Another work day ahead, so this is again a brief entry. See you tomorrow!
