Perl Weekly=20
http://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. http://perlweekly.com/archive/493.html
Hi and welcome to 2021!
I just got the first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine this morning.
My New Year's request is to support the work of Manwar ( https://www.patreon.com/manwar/ ). You know him. He gives the Perl community enormous value via his Perl Weekly Challenge ( https://perlweeklychallenge.org/ ) and by being the co-editor of the Perl Weekly. He is now at $105 from 16 people. Let's double both numbers!
I am running a poll: In which subject in Perl do you feel you'd need better knowledge? ( https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6751738129025134592/ ) and The Perl Foundations is running a survey: Coding in Perl? What support do you need? ( https://news.perlfoundation.org/post/newperluserssurvey ). They will take less than five minutes of your time. Please fill them both in.
Enjoy the next year!
