You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
https://perlweekly.com/archive/761.html
Hi there!
Do you use WhatsApp? There is now a WhatsApp group for Perl (
https://chat.whatsapp.com/LRrkZsSRDvGLLwppyLnKHy ). Join us!
Thanks to Mikko Koivunalho ( https://about.me/mikkokoivunalho ) we now have
a graph on the MetaCPAN stats page ( https://perlweekly.com/metacpan ).
Perl-wise it was a rather weak week: we don't have many articles. On the
other hand we are back with a new live online event where we are going to
work on one or more CPAN modules. I hope this will encourage more of you to
start contributing to open source projects in Perl and maybe also to write
articles about your journey. Register here ( https://luma.com/perl-maven )!
If the scheduled time-slot is not good for you, come to our WhatsApp group
and let's discuss it!
Enjoy your week!

other hand we are back with a new live online event where we are going to
work on one or more CPAN modules. I hope this will encourage more of you to
start contributing to open source projects in Perl and maybe also to write
articles about your journey. Register here ( https://luma.com/perl-maven )!
If the scheduled time-slot is not good for you, come to our WhatsApp group
and let's discuss it!
Enjoy your week!
