This Week in Perl 6, April 12 - 19, 2005
All~ Sadly, a slip of the mouse caused me to delete a partially completed summary, so I am going to push ahead on the rewrite without a witty intro. Feel free to make one up for yourself involving stuffed…
This Week in Perl 6, April 4-11, 2005
Whoa! Deja vu! Where’d Matt go? Don’t worry, Matt’s still writing summaries. As you may have noticed, Matt’s been writing summaries every two weeks. Now so am I. Because we love you, we’ve decided to arrange things so I…

This Fortnight in Perl 6, March 22 - April 3, 2005
Perl 6 Language ceil and floor Ingo Blechschmidt wondered if ceil and floor would be in the core. Warnock applies, although Unicode operators would let me define circumfix \lfloor \rfloor (although I only know how to make those symbols…

This Fortnight in Perl 6, March 7 - March 21, 2005
All~ Welcome to yet another fortnight’s summary. I believe this is the highest volume I have ever seen the three lists at simultaneously. Hopefully they will keep it up, because they’re doing good work. To aid the epic endeavor…

This Fortnight in Perl 6, Feb. 23 - March 7, 2005
All~ Welcome to yet another fortnight summary, once again brought to you by chocolate chips. This does have the distinction of being the first summary written on a Mac, so if I break into random swear words, just bear…

This Fortnight in Perl 6, Feb. 9-22, 2005
Welcome to yet another fortnight summary. Lately, p6l has outstripped p6i in volume. While this used to be the norm, it has become a rare occurrence. Strange. Anyway, this summary would be brought to you by cookies, but I…

This Week in Perl 6, Feb. 1 - 8, 2005
All~ Welcome to yet another summary in which I will undoubtedly confuse two homophones - probably more than a few this week as I am a little tired. But perhaps the alien on my window or the vampire on…

This Fortnight in Perl 6, Jan. 19-31, 2005
All~ Welcome to another double feature summary. Sadly, this one was delayed because of an argument that I was/am having with my connection. Fortunately, a generous neighbor has allowed me to use his connection for the time being. So,…

This Week in Perl 6, Jan. 11-18, 2005
Welcome to yet another Perl Summary brought to you by music and pizza (although the pizza is late in arriving). Like many summaries before it, we start with an attempt at non sequitur and Perl 6 Language. Perl 6 Language…

This Week in Perl 6, January 03 - January 11, 2005
Welcome to another Perl 6 summary. This summary explores such thrilling issues as multi-dimensional slices of Chinese food. After all, the amount of sauce any piece of Chinese food can absorb is proportional to its surface area, which is a…

This Fortnight in Perl 6, December 21 - 31 2004
All~ Welcome to a New Year of Perl 6 Summaries. I have been doing biweekly summaries over the holiday season, but I plan on returning to weekly ones now. Hopefully “World of Warcraft” won’t prevent me, we shall see. But…

This Fortnight in Perl 6, December 7-20 2004
All~ The observant among you might notice that I missed last week’s summary. With the hubbub and confusion of the holidays, I blame ninjas, in particular Ryu Hyabusa. Given that Christmas is next weekend and New Years is the…

Introducing mod_parrot
It’s been almost nine years since the first release of mod_perl, and it remains a very powerful tool for writing web applications and extending the capabilities of the Apache web server. However, lurking around the corner is Perl 6,…

This Fortnight in Perl 6, December 1 - 6 2004
All~ Last week I asked for help identifying the source of a quotation. One friendly soul suggested Alan J. Perlis, but could not find an actual attribution. It did lead me to find a very applicable (and in my…

This Fortnight in Perl 6, November 16-30 2004
All~ Welcome to yet another summary. Although Aliya is present for this summary, I think the unnamed gecko with its tongue out will be the one who is helping to bring it to you, aided of course by Nicola…

This Week in Perl 6, November 9 - 15 2004
All~ Welcome to yet another Monday summary. This would have been a Sunday summary, but Avernum (from Spiderweb Software) forcibly prevented it. As usual, we will start out with Perl 6 Language. Perl 6 Language Modules and Exports Aaron Sherman…

This Week in Perl 6, November 2 - 8 2004
Welcome to yet another summary, brought to you (once again) with the aid of the musical stylings of Dar Williams and Soul Coughing and a small, stuffed elephant name Aliya. And, without further ado, I give you Perl 6…

This Fortnight on Perl 6, October 2004 Part Two
Perl 6 Summary for 2004-10-18 through 2004-10-23 Last week, I received a request to summarize perl6-language before internals. Frankly, it seems like a reasonable idea. Perl6-internals has always been first as long as I can remember. So perhaps, it is…

Perl 6 Summary for 2004-10-01 through 2004-10-17 All~ Welcome to my first summary. Since I am relatively new at this game, I will just steal Piers’ approach and start with Perl6 internals. But before that let me warn you that…

This Week on Perl 6, Week Ending 2004-09-24
The Perl 6 Summary for the week ending 2004-09-24 This is my last summary before I start my teaching practice. Hopefully I’ve things set up so writing the summary isn’t going to interfere with that, and vice versa. This week…
