HTML::Tagset just saw it's first new release in a number of years and then was moved over to the libwww-perl GitHub org. If you use this module or have opinions on it, now is a good time to participate.

Today I attended the second meeting of the CPAN Security Group. Lots of interesting discussion. People are thinking deep thoughts about supply chain security and keeping your systems safe. We are always happy to get more interested people involved.

If you work with Git as your version control system, you’ve likely already resigned yourself to the fact that it's a complicated beast. Git is a fantastic tool, but it can be cumbersome to navigate repositories, logs, the stash, etc. That’s where a tool like Tig comes in.

This week's blog post is an introduction to Tig, the text-mode interface for Git.

This weekend I released a version of perlimports that makes it play nicely with nvim-lint. You can also just use it via PerlNavigator, but nvim-lint seems like a good option as well.

My Perl Advent article on getting started with "perlimports" went live today. If you make it to the bottom you'll get an introduction to "precious", which is a language-agnostic linter and tidier harness. I use both of these tools every day at $work.

I've written a short article on how to fix typos in documentation and in actual code across different languages, using the "typos" tool. This tool can fix your function names, variable names and hastily written docs. I highly recommend trying it out.

Wow, I just did a naive perl -MCPAN -e 'install LWP::ConsoleLogger' and was put off by the amount of dependencies it pulled in but then super surprised by how beautiful the output looks. ASCII Tables and all. Thank you @oalders

We are starting a GitHub org for people who are interested in creating a better IDE experience for Perl users. Ping me with your GitHub username if you're interested in being involved. Not looking for big commitments.
