I'm handling sponsorships for this year's Perl and Raku Conference. Please share this far and wide so that we can get as many new sponsors as possible. ❤️
Everyone! If your #business depends on #Perl or #RakuLang please consider supporting the communities you rely on!
One good way to ensure a sustainable future for #OpenSource ecosystems like these, is to support active and fertile venues for learning and teaching these technologies.
Right now, you can help by supporting the Perl and Raku Conference, and later this year, the London Perl Workshop.
Is this relevant for you? Forward it to your manager! 💯
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 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.
