This is Schuyler Erle, web hacker for the O'Reilly Network, and it is my honor and pleasure to bring you the latest www.perl.com newsletter. So, without further ado, here's what's new in the world of Perl. * Perl gatherings. The YAPC::Europe Call For Participation was issued last week, rounding out the Perl conference schedule for the summer. Send abstracts to [EMAIL PROTECTED] before June 1st to have your presentations considered. YAPC::Europe will be held this year at the Hogeschool Holland, in Amsterdam, on August 2 through 4. According to the website, they'll be holding Lightning Talks there, too, but I couldn't figure out, as of this writing, specifically where Lightning Talk proposals should be sent. You can find out more on YAPC::Europe at: http://www.yapc.org/Europe/ On a very important note, YAPC::Europe is still looking for sponsors! If you're in a position to help the community by making a grass-roots Perl conference possible, *please* contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]! Meanwhile, YAPC::America::North will continue to accept regular presentation proposals until May 1st, and Lightning Talk proposals until May 31st. * Rumors of Perl6's Demise Greatly Exaggerated. So, chances are you're in the majority of people who has begun to wonder what's going on with Perl 6? A ton of RFCs were sent it, mailing lists were set up, and now what? Well, wonder no more. The inimitable Simon Cozens is contributing a new regular department to www.perl.com with his perl6-mailing-lists digest. Much in the same vein as his ever-popular perl5-porters digest, Simon does the hard work of keeping up with the mailing lists, and you get to reap the rewards. How's that for a bargain? Of course, as always, Simon also returns with his perl5-porters digest, bringing us the latest hacks and fixes from the p5p list. This week, Simon talks about I/O layers, memory leaks, shared functions, and more. * Picture yourself ... on www.perl.com! Meanwhile, in a different movie, we'd like to invite you, our reader, to consider submitting articles for publication on www.perl.com. We've got a budget to burn on interesting and useful articles of all shapes, sizes, and topics. Our only hard and fast requirements are that submissions be Perl-related, and evince the kind of quality and accuracy that we've all come to associate with the O'Reilly name. Send whatever you got to our Open Source editor, Chris Coleman, at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't delay! Editors are standing by! Until next week, fair Perl hackers! We now return you to your regularly scheduled E-mail. SDE *** Article: Perl 6 Alive and Well! http://www.perl.com/pub/2001/02/14/p6p.html?wwwrrr_20010214.txt Perl.com will be supplying you with the P6P digest, covering the latest news on the development of Perl 6.

Creating Data Output Files Using the Template Toolkit http://www.perl.com/pub/2001/01/tt2.html?wwwrrr_20010214.txt Dave Cross explains why you should add the Template Toolkit to your installation of Perl and why it is useful for more than just dynamic web pages.
