Perl Weekly=20
http://perlweekly.com/
You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
http://perlweekly.com/archive/496.html
Hi there
I think it is unfair to compare the two, but I couldn't stop myself. Let me
make this crystal clear, I am talking about two static site builder.
Statocles written in Perl and Hugo written in Go.
Why am I even talking about Hugo in the Perl weekly newsletter?
Well, to me it doesn't matter whether it is Perl or any other language.
What matters is which one gets the job done quickly. I hear it is matter of
personal choice as well. I was first introduced to Hugo (
https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo ) when I wrote my first article (
https://www.perl.com/article/how-to-become-cpan-contributor/ ) for Perl.com
( https://www.perl.com/ ) in 2018. If I am not mistaken, they still use
Hugo. I was so impressed with Hugo that I used it to build The Weekly
Challenge ( https://perlweeklychallenge.org/ ) website. During the peak of
my CPAN contributions, I came to know about Statocles (
https://metacpan.org/pod/Statocles ). I loved it but never got the
opportunity to use it. However I did become one of the contributors to the
project. My contribution wasn't ground-breaking, but I feel proud to see my
name in the list of contributors. All credit goes to Doug Bell for the
coolest tool. For those who don't know him, he leads the team running and
managing the CPAN Testers ( https://cpantesters.org/ ) since Barbie took a
break.
Last week, I saw a new website perl.kiwi ( https://perl.kiwi/ ) become the
talk of the town. It is built using Statocles as the idea behind the
website is to promote Perl. I am going to keep an eye out for fun stuff
related to Perl. I loved the domain name. Congratulations Lance Wicks.
Talking about promoting Perl, Sawyer shared the details of the 3rd Perl
Steering Council meeting (
https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2021/01/msg258817.html
). There was another big annoucement by Sawyer with regard to the release
date of Perl v5.34 (
https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2021/01/msg258817.html
). We should all be thankful to the PSC members for their time and efforts.
Last time I forgot to mention about the Pull Request Club 2020 Report (
https://kyzn.org/posts/prc-2020-report/ ) by Kivanc Yazan. Kudos to Kivanc
for running the club for 2 years now. Keep it up. You are doing a great
service to the Perl community.
Last but not the least, please don't forget to watch the weekly show, "Perl
Town Hall" by Will Braswell on Facebook (
https://www.facebook.com/groups/perlprogrammers ). It doesn't suit my
timezone but I do watch it the recordings later.
Enjoy the rest of the newsletter

Hi there
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
I think it is unfair to compare the two, but I couldn't stop myself=
. Let me make this crystal clear, I am talking about two static site builde=
r. Statocles written in Perl and Hugo written in Go.
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
Why am I even talking about Hugo in the Perl weekly newsletter?
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
Well, to me it doesn't matter whether it is Perl or any other langu=
age. What matters is which one gets the job done quickly. I hear it is matt=
er of personal choice as well. I was first introduced to /github.com/gohugoio/hugo">Hugo when I wrote my perl.com/article/how-to-become-cpan-contributor/">first article for href=3D"https://www.perl.com/">Perl.com in 2018. If I am not mistaken, =
they still use Hugo. I was so impressed with Hugo that I used it to build <=
a href=3D"https://perlweeklychallenge.org/">The Weekly Challenge websit=
e. During the peak of my CPAN contributions, I came to know about =3D"https://metacpan.org/pod/Statocles">Statocles. I loved it but never=
got the opportunity to use it. However I did become one of the contributor=
s to the project. My contribution wasn't ground-breaking, but I feel proud =
to see my name in the list of contributors. All credit goes to Doug Bell fo=
r the coolest tool. For those who don't know him, he leads the team running=
and managing the CPAN Testers sin=
ce Barbie took a break.
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
Last week, I saw a new website perl.=
kiwi become the talk of the town. It is built using Statocles as the id=
ea behind the website is to promote Perl. I am going to keep an eye out for=
fun stuff related to Perl. I loved the domain name. Congratulations Lance =
Wicks.
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
Talking about promoting Perl, Sawyer shared the details of the ref=3D"https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2021/01/msg258817=
.html">3rd Perl Steering Council meeting. There was another big annouce=
ment by Sawyer with regard to the release date of tp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2021/01/msg258817.html">Perl v5.34=
. We should all be thankful to the PSC members for their time and efforts.
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
Last time I forgot to mention about the /posts/prc-2020-report/">Pull Request Club 2020 Report by Kivanc Yazan.=
Kudos to Kivanc for running the club for 2 years now. Keep it up. You are =
doing a great service to the Perl community.
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
Last but not the least, please don't forget to watch the weekly sho=
w, "Perl Town Hall" by Will Braswell on /groups/perlprogrammers">Facebook. It doesn't suit my timezone but I do=
watch it the recordings later.
=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
Enjoy the rest of the newsletter
