Perl Packaging Discussed, Altered
A new argument relating to the definition of Perl has arisen, and, perhaps surprisingly, the involved parties didn't arrive at some sort of impasse (even one of the casual "you say tomay-to, I say say tomah-to" variety).

Three Cheers For Two-Day Perl Conference In Italy
Italy is one of those places that almost everyone wants to visit. It's hard to just drop everything and fly to another country for the heck of it, however, so if you're in need of an excuse, the fifth edition of the Italian Perl Workshop may provide exactly that.

Mac OS X Update Causes Perl Complications
Apple computers are extremely popular in some corners, and you won't find anything approaching an anti-Cupertino rant in this article. Just the same, Macs are known for having compatibility problems (try seeing how a hardcore gamer reacts to the suggestion he use one), and the latest Mac OS X security update can essentially break Perl.

Type the term "Perl" into the Google Blog Search engine, and the odds seems good that you'll find the results a little disappointing. Perl just isn't discussed too much, which for Perl programmers, can be a shame.
