announce the location, dates, and website for YAPC::NA 2008. The
conference will be held June 16th-18th 2008 at the Illinois Institute of
Technology in Chicago, IL. We have set up an ACT-based website at
[0]http://conferences.mongueurs.net/yn2008/. Thanks to Éric Cholet for
getting that together.
We are looking forward to another excellent YAPC::NA and urge you to mark
your calendars now for one of North America's premiere perl events."

| TIMTOWTDI in Emacs, too. |

Devel::PerlySense has been getting quite a bit of (apparently
well-deserved) attention lately. As the author of [0]Sepia, a
long-existing but apparently little-used Emacs Perl development module, I
thought now would be a good time to post a diary here. For those of you
who tried an earlier version, Sepia is considerably more stable and
better-documented in versions 0.9x, but needs more users to acquire
polish.
Sepia aims to make Emacs the kind of interactive development environment
for Perl that it already is for Emacs Lisp. This involves a number of
components:
* Interactive evaluation: Supports both a REPL and a scratch buffer.
The REPL uses the Perl debugger hooks to allow breakpoints and
recovery from die, and Devel::LexAlias to inspect and change
lexicals.
* Source navigation: Finds definitions, callers, and callees. This is
supported by querying the running Perl process rather than through
PPI.
* Documentation: Displays minibuffer documentation (eldoc) for builtins
and some user functions, and supports POD browsing.
* Completion: Completes variable, function, and module names based on
the running Perl process.
Not having used Devel::PerlySense, I won't try to make a detailed
comparison, but my impression is that Devel::PerlySense is geared toward
off-line development (uses PPI, has a class browser, etc.), while Sepia
is geared toward on-line development (supports interaction, value
inspection, debugging). So give both a try, and see which style suits you
best.

| HTTP::Proxy::GreaseMonkey |

Yesterday I posted a [0]GreaseMonkey script to add a CPAN Dependencies
link to search.cpan.org.
The only problem with that is that FireFox is not my main browser. I tend
to use FireFox for web development (FireBug++) and Safari for general
surfing. Theoretically you can use GreaseMonkey scripts in Safari using
[1]CreamMonkey - but I couldn't get that to play nicely with Leopard.
So I've released [2]HTTP::Proxy::GreaseMonkey which builds on BooK's
excellent [3]HTTP::Proxy to provide a local proxy that functions like
GreaseMonkey.
Version 0.01 of HTTP::Proxy::GreaseMonkey has no support for the GM_*
utility functions that the real GreaseMonkey provides - but it works well
enough to support my CPAN dependencies user script and probably quite a
few other GM scripts. Suggestions are welcome. Suggestions with patches
even more so.

Dear me, I appear to have become London.pm travel czar.
For [0]YAPC::Europe I recommend staying at: [1]CAB INN Scandinavia. The
rooms are very small and it's a few stops from the venue. But it's very
practically CHEAP and closer to the center of town so you can spend more
on Carlsberg and smørrebrød.
We can fly using [2]SAS:
12 Aug 2008 LHR 20:10 -> CPH SK1508
17 Aug 2008 CPH 18.15 -> LHR SK1507
It's quite far ahead, but at least you have some plans now ;-)

So far I published more two articles at OnLAMP:
* [0]Boolean operators
* [1]The // operator
and got to complete three drafts for the next ones:
* [2]Negated operators
* [3]The conditional operator
* [4]Range operators
I would appreciate that interested people read them and point mistakes
and improvements to be done.
P.S. Yeah, sadly I know that some links at OnLAMP are wrong or missing.
But I am afraid that MT changes URL again if I try to update the
articles. I don't know what is worse.

On December 18, 1987, Larry Wall released Perl 1 to the public. That
means today is the end of Perl's 20th year. On Perl's 16th birthday,
Richard Clamp gave us [0]Perl 1. Rumor has it that this birthday,
Perl5Porters is giving us [1]Perl 5.10, the best Perl 5 yet.
The Windy City Perl Mongers are getting together for a birthday party at
[2]Miller's Pub (134 S Wabash Ave, Chicago) at 6:30pm. Who else is
hosting Perl birthday parties? Can we make it a 24 hour party rolling
through all of the time zones?
