    Have you ever wanted to do this?

    <html>
<head>
<title>Hello, Perl World!</title>

    <script type="text/perl">
    print "Hello, Perl World!\n";
    </script>

</head>
<body></body>
</html>

    [download]

    Well, now you can!* :-)

    I just released what I'm calling WebPerl - please see the website for all the documentation, downloadable demo, and source code. It's still very much in beta, and your feedback is very welcome!

    I gave a lightning talk on it yesterday at YAPC::EU 2018 in Glasgow, you can see the recording of the live stream here (link should go to 8h9m40s). Update: The video seems to have gone down, unfortunately. Will update once something is back up, for now the website contains all the documentation. Update 2: Video is back up, thanks for pointing it out, Corion! New Video Link (link should go to 8h12m)

    * Update: What you need to do to make the above example work is download WebPerl, put the files in the same directory as the HTML file, and add <script src="webperl.js"></script> in the above HTML - then you should get the output of the print in your browser's JavaScript console. The website also gives some more "quick start" instructions.

    The beta version of DBD::MariaDB is now on CPAN.

    It's a fork of DBD::mysql with many fixes that were impossible in the original distribution (including security fixes and Unicode support). Enjoy and help us by reporting any issues you encounter!

perldoc.pl - An alternative to perldoc.perl.org

    http://perldoc.perl.org has had some issues for many years. Previously I've spent some time trying to diagnose and fix some of them, but in these cases couldn't reproduce the problems locally. Fortunately an alternative has been developed. Take a look at https://perldoc.pl.

    Update: For clarity, I have nothing to do with perldoc.pl, I just thought the announcement was worth posting here.

Perl 6 Tutorial at TPC in Salt Lake City

    Come join me on Friday for The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Perl 6 and learn the basics of one of O'Reilly's up-and-coming languages!

    We'll start with a hands-on tutorial covering the basics including the new grammar matching system and some of the newer object-oriented features, and work our way up to creating our own Perl 6 modules. I've run similar hands-on workshops at the last two European TPCs, a 3-hour version at OSCON 2 years running, and DevDays in Vilnius.

    Another interesting navel-gazing (from the community perspective) bit of data built on a thousand respondents to a survey. I will assume that citing and referencing are sort of built in once you get to the page, so won't waste the bytes here.

    The Results

New Perl Selenium ebook

    Shameless plug: Selenium and Perl

    Those of you who stayed to the end of last year's London Perl Workshop may remember Davorg's lightning talk, available at YouTube. I had written 20 pages of documentation for Martin Berends to deliver as a workshop. Dave & I agreed that this would be an appropriate subject to expand and publish. It's over 3 times the length of the handout we gave to people at the LPW and, Dave says, over twice the length of his Perl Taster. I'm also entertaining fantasies of it leading a few people to PerlMonks.

    Regards,

    John Davies
