#perl world take note: coming soon, the formerly-dormant perl101.org is going to get a redesign and repurpose.

(Somehow, it still gets 600-1K hits per day. Don't ask me how.)

There's a new look, and in addition to content about actually learning how to use Perl that beginners will want to know, look for news of new releases from the Perl team and CPAN, community news, tips & tricks, occasional humor, and much more.

Look for the grand re-launch around 1 August.

@ChristosArgyrop

Most of the focus will be on recent versions, 5.30 and up, but with Perl's famous backward-compatibility, *most* of the things I'll talk about will work back much farther, some as far back as 5.8 or 5.10, the beginning of the "Modern Perl" era.

"But What About Perl 6?" There ain't no such thing. That's Raku, and it's a language of its own, and it's not what I use in my own work. This blog will be about #perl

@geekruthie Nah, not interested in Raku, just the babies post 5.30. Looking forward to the rebirth of the site
