Get [0]Julian Cash's book of [1]Perl people portraits, free for download
or pay to have it as a bound book.
At OSCON, Julian had a nice printed and bound book of his portraits of
Perl people from various conferences. He gave me one for free, since I'm
in it. Now you can [1]get it for yourself.

I finally have my first draft of App::Prove::History saving test suite
information to an sqlite database. It's not perfect by any stretch of the
imagination and to be frank, I'm unhappy with my design, but I'll keep
hacking on it and eventually I'll have an alpha out to the cpan.
Currently it only saves the start and end times of each test suite run,
but that bit is just to show me that I have the (clumsy) basics working.
All things told, I can't complain.

As soon as DNS catches up for you, the all new [0]CPAN Testers Reports
site is now live. There are plenty of changes and fixes that have gone
into this release, and my thanks specifically to Gabor Szabo and David E.
Wheeler for contributing patches.
So what do you get with the new site? Well thanks to Gabor, a pass matrix
has been added to each distribution page. On each author page, the
distributions now link to their own respective pages. David E Wheeler's
patch has been incorporated to provide an RSS feed that excludes the PASS
reports. In addition the RSS feeds now limit to at most the last 100
reports. For the author page, the very latest release is listed, and not
just the latest with reports, so authors can see more immediately whether
their latest version is known about. On the distribution page, all known
releases are listed, with those having no reports having text saying
that. This latter change has been a cause for concern with some authors,
as the latest versions were often getting missed. Unfortunately this was
due to everything being referenced as per the BACKPAN files, and did not
include everything that was still on CPAN. There have been many minor
fixes, which all help to contribute to better usability.
