Perl Weekly=20
https://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
https://perlweekly.com/archive/752.html
Hi there,
Marlin? Yet another object-oriented programming framework?
There are plenty of choices available already, but this one is worth
trying, to be honest. A quick introductory post (
https://blogs.perl.org/users/toby_inkster/2025/12/introducing-marlin.html )
on the subject by the creator, Toby Inkster is worth
reading.
Funky? PSPWA Framework?
It's what happens when a PWA and an SPA
have a baby, and that baby is raised by a camel who really cares about user
experience. The pattern of combining PWA capabilities with SPA architecture
has been around for years. Please find out more about it on the official
page ( https://funkyfra.me/about ).
We also had another development release of Perl v5.43.6 (
https://metacpan.org/release/SHAY/perl-5.43.6/ ) a couple of days ago. The
main change is that using goto to jump into the body of a
loop or other block construct from outside is no longer permitted.
The TIOBE Index for December 2025 ( https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index )
shows positive signs for Perl. However, you shouldn't take
it too seriously. That said, I really enjoy reading it.
This is the last edition of the year 2025 for me - the
196th issue overall - so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
2026 to all the readers. Please stay safe and healthy.
Enjoy rest of the newsletter.

Masters of Destiny
https://blogs.perl.org/users/saif/2025/12/masters-of-destiny.html
=20
This post is primarily a philosophical essay. Saif uses a fictional
dialogue to express skepticism about over-reliance on AI and
"dispassionate algorithms," particularly in fields like medicine that
traditionally value human judgment and compassion.

Mid-life upgrade to the MailBox suite completed
https://blogs.perl.org/users/markov/2025/12/mid-life-upgrade-to-the-mailb=
ox-suite-completed.html

This is a high-quality project maintenance post from Mark. It provides
valuable insight into the pragmatic considerations of modernising a
massive, real-world Perl codebase=E2=80=94decisions about language versio=
ns,
exception frameworks, and managing breaking changes.

Perl Advent Calendar

Using Mojolicious::Plugin::Mount to help test your applications
https://perladvent.org/2025/2025-12-15.html
=20
This is an insightful, practical tutorial that presents a clever and
elegant pattern for integration testing in Mojolicious. It demonstrates a
sophisticated understanding of the Mojolicious ecosystem and provides a
viable alternative to the more common approach of mocking HTTP user
agents.

Auto-instrument your code with OpenTelemetry
https://perladvent.org/2025/2025-12-16.html
=20
The post introduces a new experimental approach for automatically
generating OpenTelemetry traces for Perl code. The traditional options
are either 1) use a pre-built instrumentation library, 2) write a custom
instrumentation library (hard), or 3) manually instrument your code
(tedious). This module offers a fourth, automated path: dynamically
instrumenting Perl modules at runtime without modifying their source
code.

The Elves Learn to be Lazy
https://perladvent.org/2025/2025-12-17.html
=20
This narrative post is a superb piece of technical communication. It
successfully argues that adopting a modern OO framework like Moose isn't
about "cool new features" for their own sake, but about practical
engineering benefits: safer refactoring, better testing, and more
maintainable code.
--------------
=20
Safer last-minute hotfixes before Christmas
https://perladvent.org/2025/2025-12-18.html
=20
App::Transpierce is a Perl-based command-line utility for managing
configuration changes on production systems. Its core philosophy is to
provide a structured, safe workflow for emergency "hotfixes" where direct
editing on a live server is unavoidable.
--------------
=20
Advent of the Underbar
https://perladvent.org/2025/2025-12-19.html
=20
This is a well-conceived and thoughtfully launched community project. The
post successfully makes the case for the podcast's existence by grounding
it in the Phileppe's genuine passion and a clear, unmet need for recorded
oral history within the Perl ecosystem.
--------------
=20
How SUSE is Using Perl
https://perladvent.org/2025/2025-12-20.html
=20
The primary coverage of the talk concerns SUSE's openQA and the Open Buil=
d
Service. These both lean heavily on Perl and are tools that you may find
useful in your own work.
--------------
=20
The Gift of Readability
https://perladvent.org/2025/2025-12-21.html
=20
The article is a well-crafted narrative that argues readable code is an a=
ct
of empathy and professionalism, not just a stylistic preference. It
stands out by framing technical advice within a memorable story (the
elves at the Present Delivery Network), making the concepts more engaging
than a dry style guide.

solutions in multiple languages (Perl and J), and including high-quality
visual aids for understanding complex array operations.

Doodling with matches and prefixes
https://packy.dardan.com/b/fi
=20
This is a solid and practical solution guide for Perl Weekly Challenge
#352. Its primary strength lies in the Packy's exploration of the same
solution logic across four different programming languages (Raku, Perl,
Python, Elixir), providing excellent comparative value for polyglot
programmers.
