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. Last week's problems with SOAP::Lite have been cured by the latest release, 0.55. If you're running anything less, you need to upgrade. In other SOAP news, Google have released an API to their search engine. You need to register to get a key for non-commercial use. http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=SOAP-Lite http://www.phrack.com/show.php?p=58&a=9 http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=SOAP-Lite http://www.google.com/apis/ Speaking of new releases, Parrot 0.0.5 is out. This fixes a shedload of bugs in the garbage collection code, and much improved aggregate support, as well as the usual plethora of enhancements. http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=02/04/17/1337255&mode=nocomment&tid=33 http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/J/JG/JGOFF/parrot-0.0.5.tar.gz And finally, a Unix desktop environment written in Perl? Oh yes. http://www.perlbox.org/ * What's new on www.perl.com? This week's article is another in our series from Barrie Slaymaker on using the AxKit XML application server. This time, we look at how we can extend AxKit using our own XML tags backed up with logic in Perl. XSP (Extensible Server Pages) is a way of having XML tags fire off procedures in Perl and other languages, and insert the results into the XML document. Barrie teaches us how to write our own tag libraries (taglibs) in Perl and have AxKit process them into our output. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/04/16/axkit.html Enjoy!

A4 explained what control structures would look like in Perl 6; Damian Conway expands on those ideas and presents a complete view of the Perl 6 control flow mechanism. http://perl.com/pub/a/2002/04/01/exegesis4.html *** CPAN PLUS For many years the CPAN.pm module has helped people install Perl modules. 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 =================================================================== New Report from O'Reilly Research: Planning for Web Services Planning for Web Services is a new report from O'Reilly Research by industry visionary Clay Shirky.
