The Winter 2007 issue of [0] The Perl Review is here, and it has a
wonderful cover picture that Eric Maki made with a combination of the B
modules and GraphViz. Wonder what Perl's really doing with your program?
Map it and find out! That's just the cover, and there is a lot more Perl
on the inside. [1] Subscribe to get access to all past issues as PDFs and

| Devel::PerlySense 0.0134 |

I just uploaded [0]Devel::PerlySense 0.0134 to PAUSE. If you happen to
use PerlySense [1], you may want to upgrade since a few nifty features
have been added in the last versions:
* Class Overview with the list of methods/properties that make up the
API of the class (so that includes inherited methods). From this list
you can use method Docs (d) and Go to (g), just like from within the
source. [2]
* In the Class Overview, things are rearranged a bit to show the most
useful things at the top: the Inheritance tree and the API.
* Run "perly_sense info" to display diagnostics about what PerlySense
thinks your Project dir is, where your Home dir is located, etc.
* A Cookbook page with clever tricks and common problem. Well, one of
each so far.
I got a spontaneous That's fucking cool! reaction from a team mate the
other day so if you happen to not yet use PerlySense, but use Emacs, you
may want to give it a spin. I fixed the gripe in [1]the CPAN review about
fiddling with the elisp files, so that's one less hoop to jump through.
[1] I have no idea whatsoever if anyone actually uses this thing yet, but
I'm guessing the user base is only slightly larger than... well, me.
[2] The API view is not at all finished yet, but it's still useful.
Ideally, the methods should be ordered first by their POD heading, and
then by their source location. And private methods of parent classes from
outside the Project (i.e. when your classes inherit from CPAN modules)
are rarely interesting and shouldn't be displayed at all, or at least be
displayed in a more subdued font face.

| Catalyst book is out! |

My [0]Catalyst book is out and is beginning to appear in the hands of
fellow Catalyst users! You can buy it from Amazon and local book stores,
but it looks like the publisher ([1]Packt) has the best price right now.
Basically, this book covers getting started with Catalyst. The goal is to
take you from "what's MVC?" to being able to write complete web
applications with Catalyst. We'll build a few complete applications
including an address book, a mini-blog, and ChatStat (which is basically
[2]Ircxory but with a Template Toolkit interface instead of one built
with Template::Declare).
Along the way you'll learn all about Catalyst, DBIx::Class, and the
Template Toolkit. I cover REST interfaces, AJAX (with Jemplate), RSS,
testing, deployment, and more. The book is very hands-on oriented; I
usually explain what sort of code I want to write, write the code, and
then explain what the code does. If necessary, we look at theoretical
examples of when related features would be useful, and then move on to
the next piece of code.
The full PR blurb is on the [0]book's website, so please take a look.
