    [$] Netflix releases open-source crisis-management tool
    Earlier this year, Netflix developed and released a new Apache-licensed project named Dispatch. It is designed to coordinate the response to and the resolution of security-related incidents, but the project aims for more than just that. Rather, it hopes to be valuable for any type of one-off incident that needs coordination across an organization, such as a service outage.

    Book: Perl 7: A Risk-Benefit Analysis
    Dan Book has done a
    detailed analysis
    of the Perl 7
    transition
    . "Large amount of CPAN modules will not work in Perl
    7; plans for working around this would either involve every affected CPAN
    author, which is a virtual impossibility for the stated 1 year time frame;
    or the toolchain group, a loose group of people who each maintain various
    modules and systems that are necessary for CPAN to function, who either
    have not been consulted as of yet or have not revealed their plans related
    to the tools they maintain. Going into this potential problem sufficiently
    would be longer than this blog post, but suffice to say that a Perl where
    highly used CPAN modules don't seamlessly work is not Perl.
