| 2008 Winter Scripting Games |

Microsoft is running the [0]3rd annual Scripting Games competition, and
this year they added a Perl division alongside VBScript and Windows
PowerShell:
The games have already begun on Friday, but the deadline for the first 2
events isn't until Wednesday morning, so it is not too late to enter and
get a perfect score!
All Perl entries will be judged by running them with ActivePerl
5.10.0.1002, so you can start using all the new 5.10 features if you
want.
The competitors pack is a self-extracting ZIP file containing additional
data files needed for some challenges. It is provided as an .exe file
(probably so it could be digitally signed), but you can unpack it with
normal "unzip" too (this is just a subtle hint that the actual challenges
are not platform specific; you just need to remember to prefix the path
to any of the data files with C:/Scripts/ before you submit your
scripts).
I'll be providing sample solutions and a [1]running commentary for the
Advanced Perl Division to the scripting guys at Microsoft, who will
publish them from each events page after the deadline.
So let's show them that there are a sufficient number of Perl users that
it is worthwhile keeping a Perl division in the Scripting Games for the
upcoming years! :)
BTW, you also have a chance to win a Perl Dev Kit license if you enter
the contest for at least a single event!

The organization for the 4th Italian Perl Workshop is underway. The
workshop will be held in Pisa, on September 18 and 19. Entrance will be
free of charge, and there might even be complimentary coffee breaks.
While we complete the "official web site" (based on Act, of course), you
can read the CFP and start planning your trip (talks will be primarily in
Italian, but this never stopped anyone)
