My teenage son has never shown any interest in programming. I gave him a #Fedora Linux desktop computer a few years ago and we've used it mainly to experiment with Inkscape and GIMP, with some #Perl scripting glue. Suddenly, this summer, he has downloaded PyCharm and is using a #Python tutorial on his phone. He is going along at extraordinary speed, creating tens of little example programs and, with my help, has started constructing a murder mystery game. It’s astonishing and very gratifying!
Time for celebration with the latest edition of #Perl weekly newsletter.

@demiguise @Codeberg @metacpan You can host a repo anywhere or not at all. There are plenty of #Perl modules whose *only* public source is #CPAN; patches may be submitted via email, RT, or the maintainer may not accept contributions at all.
@pouyllau #Perl (we don't add the 5 anymore since Perl 6 became #RakuLang) has definitely changed since 1999, but has thankfully retained a lot of backward compatibility.
@shiar made a great cheat sheet summary: https://sheet.shiar.nl/perl
J'ai fais en #Perl pour la stabilité : les outils développés en Perl lors de ma maitrise et DEA, en 1998-1999, sont toujours en ligne, sous Perl 5, qui n'a pas beaucoup changer en fait. 4/
Dans la suite de mes outils OAI du mois dernier, je viens de terminer mes devoirs de vacances avec “csv2www“ : un programme #Perl
pour publier, montrer, partager en ligne le contenu des fichiers #csv (avec recherche et index paramétrables). Disponible sur mon GitHub: https://github.com/spouyllau/csv2www 1/
Hmmm, no surprise that #python is number 1 but #perl has risen from 25 to 9. Weird.
