PerlPosted by krow on Tuesday March 05, @06:34PM
from the viva-las-vegas dept.
jeek writes "Perl 5.7.3 is out. This should be the last development version before 5.8.0 comes out in April or May." You can download it from CPAN or get a copy of it from SourceForge.net. If you have some free time try downloading it and testing it. According to the included perldelta.pod file, the highlights are: better Unicode support, new thread implementation, many new modules, better numeric accuracy, safe signals, and a completely overhauled and improved regression test suite.

Sorcerer Review, and News of Impending Doom
LinuxPosted by timothy on Tuesday March 05, @05:53PM
from the some-that-die-deserve-life-and-vice-versa dept.
osworks writes: "There is an review of the Sorcerer Linux distribution over at linuxworld.com that is worth a read. I've been running SGL on my Inspiron for a month now, and have the same impression as the author. It took a really long time to install, but was educational and rather fun. Some discouraging news near the bottom about how the maintainer needs some development help, or it will be the end of Sorcerer. This is one of the most exciting new distros to come along in a long time, and that would be a shame."
