Hello there!

It's me, Gabor again as Mohammad is on vacation in India. Actually I am also on a semi-vacation in Hungary. I work some, but most of the time I spend with friends. So you are stuck with me again. This is not that bad as I can further explain what I meant last week.

Apparently I did not explain myself properly in the previous edition. I don't intend to include rather random articles about other languages in the Perl weekly, but I will not totally refrain from them either. I will mention my non-Perl training courses if I think they might be relevant to some of you.

Some people suggested that I pass on the whole Perl Weekly to 'the community'. I don't think there is anyone (maybe except of Mohammad) who would want to take over the whole newsletter. I guess if anyone was interested, s/he would have already offered to be part of the editorial staff. Let's make this also an invitation: if you think you'd like to edit the newsletter once in a while then let me know.

On another note, if you are using Facebook, I'd like to remind you that the recommended Perl group is the one called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/perlcommunity">The Perl Community</a>.

In any case, enjoy your week!
