It's also the case that given the choice between: "We could make this in Perl or PHP. For PHP, it costs $x to run a server. For Perl, it costs $(2x). It doesn't matter what x is. I'm kind of surprised that nobody's brought up Brad+Artur's Sys::Protect. It's designed to make it easier to isolate Perl to get a lot of the same benefits of PHP's "stuff doesn't leak between page loads" design.
EMERGENCY: Bright and Early Monday Morning
So, I find myself transiting Heathrow with a somewhat questionable layover once more. I'll be arriving in London this Sunday evening at about 9pm. I fly out of Heathrow at 2:15pm on Monday. The last couple times we've tried to breakfast at The Wolseley, we've failed due to a lack of reservations. If you'd like to eat breakfast on Monday, reply to me off-list with acceptable times and I'll attempt to sort something out. Best, Jesse

This is the 'marketing name', not what the code reports. The code is still reporting things the way it used to report 5.01 "Perl" describes a family of languages.

Re: Anyone heading out to YAPC::Asia?
I've been to...all but one? YAPC::Asias to date. Often, slides are in English, even when the talks aren't. There's usually a fair bit of content in English, but not necessarily in every slot. As a westerner, I wouldn't go to YAPC::Asia for the sessions. The hallway track is quite good. And the pub track is stellar. > I'm not aware of any translators, but I was assuming that English would be > the common tongue for Asia as well (although I'm sure there will be a > strong Japanese presence). > > They have not accepted many talks so far, but if you click on each talk, > the language of the talk, and availability of subtitles are listed. > http://yapcasia.org/2012/talk > > I was hoping that Larry Wall and a few other's presence this year will help > to encourage more international participation. > > > Regards, Anthony L > > > > On 1 August 2012 23:30, ??
