This is Simon Cozens, www.perl.com managing editor, bringing you the latest goings on from the world of Perl and our own site. * Perl at large. It's been a bit of a quiet week, as Easter fast approaches. Elaine Ashton, however, has been very busy. Some time ago, she approached Sun Microsystems asking if they'd like to donate some hardware to the CPAN search facility, search.cpan.org. They said yes, and so Elaine took some days out this week to make the long drive over to Sun's place in California to pick up the hardware and bring it to its home in St. Louis. As a result, you should notice that search.cpan is now quite definitely faster than ever. Thanks a million Elaine, and thanks also to the good folks at Sun, especially Andrew Roach, Tim Sparlin and Alan Burlison. http://search.cpan.org/ http://www.axis-of-aevil.net/archives/000089.html Perl 6 fans will be glad to know that Damian is currently putting the finishing touches on the latest Exegesis, which we hope to bring you next week. * What's new on www.perl.com? The other major Perl story this week has been the release of CPANPLUS, a replacement for the trusty CPAN.pm module for installing distributions from CPAN. CPANPLUS aims to be a modular, extensible, clean rewrite, which one day hopes to replace CPAN.pm in the Perl core. Here to tell us about it is the original creator and overseer of the project, Jos Boumans. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/26/cpanplus.html I'm heading away for an Easter break for the next week, but perl.com will not sleep! Depending on how Damian's getting on, we'll either be bringing you his Exegesis, or the next installment of our ongoing mod_perl series. Enjoy, and have a good holiday!

But it's also been clunky, fragile and amazingly difficult to use programmatically. Jos Boumans introduces CPANPLUS, his project to change all that. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/26/cpanplus.html *** mod_perl in 30 minutes This week, Stas Bekman shows us how to install and configure mod_perl, and how to start accelerating CGI scripts with Apache::Registry. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/22/modperl.html *** A Perl Hacker's Foray into .NET We've all heard about Microsoft's .NET project.
