You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.

Hi there!
You might be already aware of the archive of the Perl Weekly, if not, check
out the web site. You'll find it. It is displayed in chronological order,
but as some people prefer to have the latest at the top, now you can see it
in reverse chronological order, and you can even have a list of all the
posts with all the titles. This will make it easier for you to locate a
post you saw earlier on the Perl Weekly. What else would you like to see?
Is there some other slice of the history of the Perl Weekly posts that
you'd like to see? Let me know!
Enjoy!

What if languages were free?
http://bit.ly/14oDaGu
The promise of Marpa is that it will be very easy - almost free - to create
new (programming) languages. What will that mean?
--------------
=============
Funding projects
My Catincan funded cpan(1) fastest mirror enhancement
http://bit.ly/11B0Na5
A few weeks ago brian d foy posted about the new crowd-founding site
Catincan and how he wanted to try. This is the result. I hope more people
will jump on the idea and start experimenting to getting funded for
projects. At first I can imagine you'd try with relatively small
projects, and if those are successful, then you can try with bigger ones.
--------------
=============
Grants
Fixing Perl5 Core Bugs: Report for Months 35 & 36
http://bit.ly/14oDd4R

=============
Testing
CPAN Testers Summary - March 2013 - Us
http://bit.ly/14oDaWK
While testing might not be exciting for many, I think it is one of the most
awesome areas in Perl. I am really glad Barbie and co. keep working on
the CPAN Testers infrastructure and he keeps reporting.
--------------
No more copy and paste: How to refactor tests with roles
http://bit.ly/11B0MDd
Tests are just more code, but when it gets to testing, even the best
programmers might revert to the ancient art of copy-paste. But this is
David Golden. He did not want to repeat his code so he wrote a module
called Test::Roo to make it easy to use roles in testing. (And the
comments are also interesting to read.)
--------------
Better reporting for your test suite
http://bit.ly/11B0MTu
For Test::Class::Moose users...
--------------
=============
CPAN
How to mass-favorite modules on MetaCPAN
http://bit.ly/14oDaWR
Providing feedback to module authors is a great way to encourage them to do
more. Even if the feedback is only by up-voting their module on MetaCPAN.
David Golden shows a way to do that automatically for all the modules you
use.
--------------
How can I list CPAN reverse dependencies from metacpan?
http://bit.ly/11B0Naj
A few weeks ago I posted a code snippet that does this, but Tokuhiro
Matsuno went for the raw JSON input/output and he does not use the
MetaCPAN::API module.
--------------
=============
