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.

Mac user's delight! Mac::Glue, the Perl replacement for AppleScript, 
has been released for OS X. Chris Nandor has put in many months of 
work to this, and now OS X users, too, can control their 
applications from Perl.

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

In our continuing mod_perl 2.0 series, Geoff Young looks at the new
testing scheme, Apache-Test, and how it fits in with your mod_perl
programs.

Garbage collection versus timely destruction; colors in BASIC; 
how contexts interact; and whether or not we need a special sigil 
for objects--it's all the talk in the Perl 6 world this week. 
Piers provides the weekly summary.

Happy hacking!
