Well I'm trying to write my first Moose metaclass. MooseX::Iterator gives a smalltalk stream-like access to your Moose collections. Right now it only works with arrayrefs but I hope add hashes and I hope to move it to MooseX-AttributeHelpers at some point.
This article comes across as a bit angry, but mostly I think he' s right.

An interesting article on why you shouldn't build your own password scheme...
I'm starting to use Module::Install for my perl projects. There are some good reasons to use it:
- Extremely easy for beginners to learn
- Does everything ExtUtils::MakeMaker does.
- Does it with a dramatically simpler syntax.
- Automatically scans for metadata for you.
- Requires no installation for end-users.
- Generates a stock Build.PL for Module::Build users.
- Guaranteed forward-compatibility.
- Automatically updates your MANIFEST.
- Distributing scripts is easy.
- Include prerequisite modules (less dependencies to install)
- Auto-installation of prerequisites.
- Support for Inline-based modules.
- Support for File::ShareDir shared data files
- Support for precompiled PAR binaries.
- Deals with Win32 install issues for you.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
