Hi there,
Happy Idd to all the weekly newsletter readers who
celebrate the festival. We celebrated Idd yesterday in England and I assume
it is being celebrated today in my native country, India. May ALLAH
s.w.t guide us all in the right path, Ameen.
For me personally, the highlight of last week was the event organised by
the Toronto Perl Mongers. It focussed on the new edition
of the book, Data Munging With Perl (2nd edition) (
https://leanpub.com/datamungingwithperl ). Unfortunately I missed the event
despite registering for it. However, I'm told the recording will be
available soon. If you missed it too, don't worry, you will be to catch up
soon.
Speaking of the book, it is one of those must read classics for every
Perl programmers. I read it, when it was first released,
and I highly recommend you getting a copy to benefit from it.
Last week, Gabor mentioned Ramadan seemed
to have had positive impact on me as I started writing more frequently
these days. He was absolutely right!. But now that Ramadan
is over, I'm not sure if I'll continue at the same pace. That said, I truly
enjoyed this little burst of writing. It felt like therapy to me. It
allowed me to share whatever was on my mind at the time. And when I receive
encouraging responses, it gives me even more motivation to keep going.
I wrote few pieces last week, all of which are listed below. Please do
check them out and share your thoughts.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank, brian d
foy for his incredible book: Perl new features (
https://leanpub.com/perl_new_features ). I have shared my take on some of
the topics discussed in the book, and I highly recommend getting a copy.
The latest edition has been updated to cover Perl v5.38.
This edition of the newsletter is packed with positive
Perl news, so take your time and enjoy.
Happy Monday!!

Hi there,
=20
Happy Idd to all the weekly newsletter readers who=
celebrate the festival. We celebrated Idd yesterday in England and I assum=
e it is being celebrated today in my native country, India. May ALL=
AH s.w.t guide us all in the right path, Ameen.
=20
For me personally, the highlight of last week was the event organis=
ed by the Toronto Perl Mongers. It focussed on the new edi=
tion of the book, Data =
Munging With Perl (2nd edition). Unfortunately I missed the event despi=
te registering for it. However, I'm told the recording will be available so=
on. If you missed it too, don't worry, you will be to catch up soon.
=20
Speaking of the book, it is one of those must read classics for eve=
ry Perl programmers. I read it, when it was first released=
, and I highly recommend you getting a copy to benefit from it.
=20
Last week, Gabor mentioned Ramadan> seemed to have had positive impact on me as I started writing more freque=
ntly these days. He was absolutely right!. But now that Ramadanrong> is over, I'm not sure if I'll continue at the same pace. That said, I=
truly enjoyed this little burst of writing. It felt like therapy to me. It=
allowed me to share whatever was on my mind at the time. And when I receiv=
e encouraging responses, it gives me even more motivation to keep going.
=20
I wrote few pieces last week, all of which are listed below. Please=
do check them out and share your thoughts.
=20
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank, brian d fo=
y for his incredible book: _features">Perl new features. I have shared my take on some of the topi=
cs discussed in the book, and I highly recommend getting a copy. The latest=
edition has been updated to cover Perl v5.38.
=20
This edition of the newsletter is packed with positive Perl=
news, so take your time and enjoy.
=20
Happy Monday!!
