Hello, world! This is Simon Cozens, www.perl.com managing editor, 
bringing you the latest goings on from the world of Perl and our 
own site.

* Perl at large.

The Mason book is out! As Dave Rolsky says: It covers Mason from 
the basics on up to extending the Mason core with your own 
subclasses, so there's something here for the whole family to 
enjoy. For more details check out our web site and the O'Reilly 
site.

Nicholas Clark has offered a challenge! He's donating six prizes 
of 100 guineas (around $160 in real money) to the Perl Foundation 
on receipt of articles on "anti-advocacy". Can you convincingly 
argue that INTERCAL is better than Perl? Or Befunge? Or C++ 
templates? If you can accurately and amusingly send up "my 
language is better than your language" articles, you can make the 
Perl Foundation rich, rich, rich! Send entries to the address 
below:

And finally... do you need a job? Do you have jobs for Perl 
hackers? jobs.perl.org has recently posted its 500th job, which 
seems like a good time to remind people about the service: 

    http://jobs.perl.org/

* What's new on www.perl.com?

Have you ever written code that uses two languages in the same 
program? Whether they be human languages (localised programs using 
English and Dutch, for instance) or computer languages, (Perl and 
SQL, or Perl and HTML) the phrasebook design pattern helps you 
separate them for more maintainable code. Rani Pitchuk introduces 
the phrasebook design pattern, and the Class::Phrasebook module, 
a Perl implementation of it.

We'll be bringing you this week's Perl 6 summary shortly!
