You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
http://perlweekly.com/archive/236.html
This week we have a few articles on testing web thingies (mocking web
services, using SWAT, that kind of fun stuff), encouraging grant reports
(shiny things are happening while we aren't looking), an early case of
Spring cleaning fever (where entropy is fought and modules put to
adoption). Oh, yes, and a modest proposal is made for a new Perl operator.
Enjoy! ~ `/anick

Please test www-apache/mod_perl-2.0.10_pre201601
http://dilfridge.blogspot.com/2016/01/please-test-www-apachemodperl.html
Using mod_perl? If so, you might want to test the trial version of its
upcoming update.

Quality metrics for the head of the CPAN River
http://neilb.org/2016/01/26/river-head-quality.html
That bloke, there, in the waders, taking water samples from the might CPAN
river? That's our Neil.

Bit Rot Thursday
http://blogs.perl.org/users/zoffix_znet/2016/01/bit-rot-thursday.html
Entropy waits for no-one. Every distribution released on CPAN, if left to
itself, will slowly mush away. So what one should do? Fight the
inexorable advance of decay? Give up? Embrace the chaos? Zoffix discusses
those many paths.

100+ Modules for Adoption! (Bit Rot Thursday)
http://blogs.perl.org/users/zoffix_znet/2016/01/modules-for-adoption-bit-rot-thursday.html
Zoffix is going through an early Spring cleaning. He deleted a few of his
old distributions, and put a bunch (and I really mean a /bunch/) of other
up for adoption.

The Fuse Operator - A Suggested Language Extension
http://blogs.perl.org/users/martin/2016/01/the-fuse-operator---a-suggested-language-extension.html
"I wish Perl had that one extra operator" is not something you hear very
often. The "fuse" operator would be something for safe,
non-auto-vivificating, dereferencing. I must admit, it does sounds
appealing.

Testing
Mock Testing Web Services with Mojo
http://blogs.perl.org/users/chase_whitener/2016/01/mock-testing-web-services-with-mojo.html
So you want to test something interacting with a web service without,
y'know, doing terrible things to that web service... If we were talking
about a class or a function, you'd mock it in a heart-beat. Well, the
same can be done for web services, here via a Mojo-based impostor.

curl + swat VS selenium
http://blogs.perl.org/users/melezhik/2016/01/curl-swat-vs-selenuim.html
You'd be hard-pressed to find such two wildly different test automation
tools. But how do they compare for the same task? Melezhik finds out.

Quick and Dirty: Vim highlighting and tag matching for HTML and Perl's
Template Toolkit

opening and closing tags within ToolkitTemplate tags.

UTF-16 and Windows CRLF, oh my
http://blogs.perl.org/users/yary/2016/01/utf-16-and-windows-crlf-oh-my.html
Running Perl on Windows? Dealing with UTF-16? You want to read this.
Unless
you're into learning things the hard way. In which case, don't read this.
And stock up on headache medicine.

tracker, the command-line time-tracking application by domm, can now tag
tasks with categories, thanks to this new plugin.

IO::Iron - Towards Update to Version 3
http://blogs.perl.org/users/mikko_koivunalho/2016/01/ioiron---towards-update-to-version-3.html
v3 of the web service IronMQ is coming up, and the maintainer of IO::Iron
is already on deck, making sure that when the time come, he'll have all
his ducks in a row.

http://news.perlfoundation.org/2016/01/migrating-blogsperlorg-second-.html
The migration of blogs.perl.org to the PerlBee platform is slowly making
progress. We can already peer at the work done in its GitHub repository,
and a wider audience test instance is supposed to become accessible
soonishingly.

http://news.perlfoundation.org/2016/01/maintaining-perl-5-grant-repor-24.html
Bolts tightened here, squeaky cogs oiled there. Lot of little improvements
have been done by the grant elves in November.

http://blogs.perl.org/users/zoffix_znet/2016/01/perl-6-rotor-the-king-of-list-manipulation.html
It slices, it dices, it... gets pretty funky in the last example of that
article.
