Hi there,
This issue was prepared by Yanick again, but he left me with an empty
preface here. So I am happy to announce about 3 new Perl-related events I
just found about: YAPC::Hawai, YAPC::ME (Middle East) and OSDC Taiwan. You
can find details about them in the 'Events' section at the end of the
newsletter.
Enjoy!

Announcements
svn.perl.org shutdown in one month
http://bit.ly/YXXkpy
How better to celebrate Easters than with a little Exodus? The centralized
Perl svn repository site served us well for many years, but now it is
time for it to bow down and vanishes into a well-deserved retirement.
CPAN authors, take heed: April 27th is when the lights will go out.
--------------
=============
Articles
The Little Script That Could
http://bit.ly/YXXkpB
Giel Goudsmit reminisces about the last 10 years of Bookings.com, and how
he saw it grow from its modest origins to the behemoth it is today.
--------------
=============
Testing
Creating a matrix of random entries where lengths of the columns are also random
http://bit.ly/YVzNzr
Sinan Unur amuses himself and comes up with an elegant way of solving that
problem.
--------------
test_requires all the way
http://bit.ly/YXXkFS
miyagawa gleefully announces a toolchain milestone: the segregation of
build and test dependencies is now truly grokked by all major players.
--------------
=============
Code
A Case for Tie::Array::CSV
http://bit.ly/YVzOU2
Sometimes, your proudest achievement is the module that oozes out pizzazz
like red dwarves pour out radiation. Sometimes, it's the little humble
module that is just does the job with no fuss. Joel Berger professes his
love for Tie::Array::CSV, which definitively belongs to the second
category.
--------------
Milla, a Dist::Zilla profile that doesn't suck
http://bit.ly/YVzNzv
I once compared Dist::Zilla to the bat-mobile: very powerful, but a little
daunting for the casual driver. miyagawa tries to address that with
'Milla', which tries to take care of most of the dzillish complexity for
you.
--------------
How I've started managing GitHub pulls
http://bit.ly/YVzNzw
David Golden shares with us some of the scripts and tricks he uses to
facilitate the ebbs of pull requests.
--------------
I made a module!
http://bit.ly/YXXihf

how easily one can slip into CPAN authorhood (getting out, now, that's a
totally different kettle of fish).
--------------

http://bit.ly/YVzOU8
Don't know? Dont' worry: brian d foy explains.
--------------

Blio blogging engine.
--------------
Using SSL client certs with Perl's LWP::UserAgent

explains how to make LWP::UserAgent play well with secure urls.
--------------
Mojolicous, render_later and weaken transactions
http://bit.ly/YVzNzA
Ever got a mysterious error when calling Mojolicious's 'render_later'
method? Max explains what it means.
--------------
=============
Fun
Gamifiy your command line with HabitRPG
http://bit.ly/YVzNzB
HabitRPG is a todo / habit tracker application with a twist: it turns
mundane activities into a fantasy RPG. Paul Fenwick, with his usual flare
for the ubernifty, wrote a Perl module -- and a command-line interface
-- to interact with the system. Killing orcs, merging pull requests, it
can all be part of your typical working days, now.
--------------
Acme::ReturnValue 1.001
http://bit.ly/YVzNzE
Perl packages have to end with a true value. Typically, that's '1'. But
some authors get more... creative. domm sends his module hunting for
those peculiar true values, and aggregates them for our viewing
pleasure.
--------------
=============
Grants
2013Q2 Call for Grant Proposals
http://bit.ly/YXXlcV
Alberto Simoes called for a the new round of grant proposals. In case you
have ideas for projects, but don't have time to do them, you can add them
in the comment section allowing people with time, but without projects to
submit grant proposals.
