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.

Make sure you're booked on one or both! http://www.yapc.org/America http://conference.perl.com/ * What's new on www.perl.com? Before we look at this week's articles, I'm afraid I have to let you know that perl.com is going to be introducing megabanners from this week on. Those of you who read slashdot will know that megabanners are advertising banners which are much larger than the ones we've been using so far. Obviously, we don't like doing this to you, and Dave Sims and I have fought for a long time to keep unnecessary ads off of perl.com. Unfortunately, we've had to face commercial realities, and come to terms with the fact that megabanners have become necessary. My apologies.
