Summer of Code 2009 as a [0]mentor organization!
Now is the time for all good Perl Mongers to encourage students to apply
for the program. Qualifying students should note the April 3rd deadline,
but also note that the best proposals usually arrive about one week
before the deadline.
If you are interested in mentoring, [1]sign up and add your suggestions
to the [2]project ideas page."

| Rakudo Perl development release #15 ( |

On behalf of the Rakudo development team, I'm pleased to announce the
March 2009 development release of Rakudo Perl #15 "Oslo". Rakudo is an
implementation of Perl 6 on the Parrot Virtual Machine [1]. The tarball
for the March 2009 release is available from
[0]http://www.pmichaud.com/perl6/rakudo-2009-03.tar.gz
However, because of the rapid pace of Rakudo development and addition of
new features, we still recommend that people wanting to use or work with
Rakudo obtain the latest version directly from the main repository at
github -- more on this in a bit.
Rakudo Perl follows a monthly release cycle, with each release code named
after a Perl Mongers group. This release is named "Oslo" in honor of the
organizers of the [1]2009 Nordic Perl Workshop [2], April 16-17, 2009.
The 2009 Nordic Perl Workshop will have a special focus on Perl 6, Rakudo
Perl, and Parrot, including Perl 6 tutorials and hackathons after the
conference itself.
A list of the other planned release dates and codenames for 2009 is
available in the "docs/release_guide.pod" file. In general, Rakudo
development releases are scheduled to occur two days after each Parrot
monthly release. Parrot releases the third Tuesday of each month.
Rakudo Perl now uses git [3] for its version control system, hosted at
[2]http://github.com/rakudo/rakudo . The README file there is kept
up-to-date with the latest instructions for obtaining and building Rakudo
Perl.
In this release of Rakudo Perl, we've made the following major changes
and improvements:
* Rakudo is now passing 7273 spectests. This is an increase of 197
passing tests since the February 2009 release.
* The eval() construct now understands lexical variables from an outer
scope.
* More of the builtin functions ("settings") are being written in Perl
6.
* Rakudo supports the "R" (reverse) metaoperator.
* Parsing of if, unless, while, until, etc. statements after blocks now
works correctly.
* The Q quote operator is now implemented, along with several adverbial
forms. In particular, the Q:PIR form allows inline PIR to be included
in Perl 6 code.
* Multi-method dispatch now works with inheritance also.
The development team thanks all of our contributors and sponsors for
making Rakudo Perl possible. The next release of Rakudo (#16) is
scheduled for April 23, 2009.
