Originally published at Perl Weekly 774 Hi there, I know you all are patiently waiting for the release of Perl v5.44 . Recently I joined the mailing list of perl5-porters . You get all the latest update straight in your inbox. This is where I found out, the v5.44 would be out end of next month if everything goes as per the plan. I get excited during this time of the year to see what is new added to the core class feature. I am still waiting for the support of creating roles. I am also aware there are other high priority features in the list. No pressure to Paul Evans and his team, we are happy to see the progress in the language under your guidance. Well you don't have to wait for the big release to get your hand dirty. For me, I am busy exploring things like Big O Notation , JSON Web Token (JWT) , OAuth2 , gRPC . There are plenty in the pipelines too. If you are looking for something new then you should check this out, Aspire in Perl .…
