The results of the [0]2005 Perl Mongers census are now online. Over the
coming weeks I'll be using the data to clean up the lists of groups at
[1]http://pm.org/groups/ so that inactive groups no longer get listed.
I'm also planning to add some summary reports.

This week had seen the development of the responses of Perl community to
the Webmin security hole, with the usual assortment of activity on many
other fronts in the advancement of the Perl interpreter. Pod::Simple
integration, issues in newer Windows, better OpenVMS support illustrate
the discussion diversity.

jesse writes "Two and a half years ago, Fotango announced their
sponsorship of the Perl 6 effort, in the form of the "Ponie" project to
port the Perl 5 runtime to the Parrot Virtual Machine. For the past year,
Nicholas Clark has worked as the pumpking for Ponie as part of his work
for Fotango. He's recently moved on from Fotango and it's time for Ponie
to do so as well. We're currently interviewing for a new pumpking to take
over his role."
