CPAN Day, celebrated on August 16th each year, honors the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) which has been a vital resource for applications for over three decades. CPAN is not merely a collection of code, but an ancient and reliable open-source system that has benefited from a strong contributor network of thousands of individuals improving, supporting, documenting, and regulating modules.
As the celebration continues, it is crucial for CPAN authors to remove obsolete distributions from PAUSE directories, with one author releasing Map::Tube::Plugin::Graph v1.1.2 to CPAN and marking older releases for deletion. Gabor also announced an upcoming online presentation discussing Perl's answer to FastAPI. The author shares their excitement for the presentation and thanks John Napiorkowski for his support.
The newsletter includes various articles, such as building an online chat using PAGI::FastAPI and Mojo::Pg, introducing Access/Refresh Tokens in web applications, and discussing the performance improvement of pperl in versions 0.6.12 and up.
