Apparently there was already one published December 20 <a href="https://www.perl.com/article/what-s-new-on-cpan-november-2023/">What's new on CPAN - November 2023</a> and then one on January 9, 2023 <a href="https://www.perl.com/article/what-s-new-on-cpan-december-2023">What's new on CPAN - December 2023</a>. Thanks to Mathew Korica.</p>

-https://perlweekly.com/archive/645.html
-<p>Hi there!</p>
-<p>Welcome to the new subscribers!</p>
-<p>December has arrived and with it the season of the Advent Calendars. You might recall that Len Jaffe has an Advent Calendar aggregator called <a href="https://lenjaffe.com/AdventPlanet/">Advent Planet</a>. If you know a running calendar that is not listed there, please contact Len!</p>
-<p>It lists the <a href="https://perladvent.org/2023/">Perl Advent Calendar</a> and the <a href="https://raku-advent.blog/2023/">Raku advent calendar</a>, and a few more. Ingy dot Net pointed to the <a href="https://yamlscript.org/posts/advent-2023/index/">YAML Script Advent Calendar</a>.</p>
-<p>In the previous edition Mohammad sent a call to get sponsor for his <a href="https://theweeklychallenge.org/">Weekly programming challenge</a>. Several people replied to me. Those messages were forwarded to Mohammad as that is his gig. However, I noticed that the link we used to have at the top of the Perl Weekly was only showing up on the web site. I added it back. In a nutshell, if you'd like to spoonsor/financially help the work of Mohammad S Anwar then either contact him or just support him via <a href="https://www.patreon.com/manwar">Patreon</a>. If you'd like to support my work then you can do so either via <a href="https://www.patreon.com/szabgab">Patreon</a> or via <a href="https://github.com/sponsors/szabgab">GitHub</a>.</p>

-#654 - Perl and FOSDEM
-https://perlweekly.com/archive/654.html
-<p>Hi there,</p>
-<p><strong>Did you know FOSDEM happened last week?</strong></p>
-<p><strong>FOSDEM</strong>, Free and Open source Software Developers' European Meeting, is still a mystery for me. Few years ago a fellow member of LPW organising team introduced me to FOSDEM for the first time. Ever since, I always wanted to attend at least once just to experience the gatherings. I found out familiar faces attending this year FOSDEM like <strong>Curtis Poe</strong>, <strong>Paul Evans</strong> and <strong>Salve J. Nilsen</strong>. Although the location wasn't far from my place but timing wasn't ideal. I wish I was mentally prepared to attend this year FOSDEM. I even saw a <a href="https://blogs.perl.org/users/vanhoesel/2024/02/fosdem-2024-tprf-community-dinner.html">post</a> by <strong>Theo van Hoesel</strong> with regard to TPRF sponsored Dinner at FOSDEM. It would have been a great opportunity to meet good old friends. <strong>Paul</strong> shared the live video link from the event. I was able to watch the fun luckily thanks to the organiser. I am hoping the video recordings of the event would be made public soon. Here is the <a href="https://archive.fosdem.org/2021/schedule/track/perl_and_raku_programming">schedule</a> of Perl and Raku Programming devroom.</p>
-<p><strong>Have you tried ChatGPT?</strong></p>
-<p>I have and I find it fun playing with it. Recently I asked "How do I check if memcached server is running locally and listening to default port?". Like always, I got instant response with few lines of Perl to get the desired result. Guess what, it didn't do what I asked it to do. I went back and asked again. This time, I got another variation. I tried that too but no luck. By now, I was too tired to repeat the question. I then used CPAN module <strong>IO::Socket::INET</strong> to see if I can create socket. I know it is not ideal but does the job. Time to move on to next thing in the long <strong>TODO</strong> list.</p>
-<p><strong>Does a programmer need to know system admin task also?</strong></p>
-<p>I have been a programmer and only programmer all my life. I remember in the past, I was sent to a week long training to learn sysadmin tasks. It was fresh for a week after the training then I was back to my programmer life. I did enjoy the training and learnt few tricks. As some of you know about my CPAN module, <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Map::Tube">Map::Tube</a>, I published in <strong>2010</strong>. I decided to create <strong>REST API</strong> interface to play with it. Luckily I had another CPAN module, <a href="https://metacpan.org/pod/Map::Tube::Server">Map::Tube::Server</a>. With this, I was able to setup the server in no time on my local box. Now comes the difficult task, create service to manage the server. Being a programmer doesn't help the cause, also when your box is running <strong>WSL</strong> and not real linux. With the limitation of <strong>WSL</strong>, I had only one option to create service based on <strong>init.d</strong>. It wasn't hard to create service file for the map server. I could even use the service to start the server but termination didn't work for some strange reason. I didn't have the energy to ask <strong>ChatGPT</strong> for help. It has to wait for now.</p>
-<p>I am thinking of writing a blog post about the whole process, if I can find spare moment.</p>
-<p>Enjoy rest of the newsletter and do share your Perl story with us.</p>

+https://blogs.perl.org/users/leon_timmermans/2024/02/using-peppers-with-cryptpassphrase.html
+Crypt::Passphrase is a module for managing passwords. It allows you to separate policy and mechanism, meaning that the code that polices authorization doesn’t have to know anything about what algorithms are used behind the screen, and vice-versa; thus making for a cryptographically agile system.

+#655 - What's new in Perl and on CPAN? What's new in Italy?
+https://perlweekly.com/archive/655.html
+<p>Hi there!</p>
+<p>After a hiatus of 4 years, it seems the "What's new on CPAN" series is back on <a href="https://www.perl.com/">perl.com</a>. Apparently there was already one published December 20 <a href="https://www.perl.com/article/what-s-new-on-cpan-november-2023/">What's new on CPAN - November 2023</a> and then one on January 9, 2023 <a href="https://www.perl.com/article/what-s-new-on-cpan-december-2023">What's new on CPAN - December 2023</a>. Thanks to Mathew Korica.</p>
+<p>If you'd like to know what's going on with Perl, I'd suggest you watch the presentation of Paul Evans from the recent FOSDEM: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATbmoP34zRs">Updates from the PSC</a></p>
+<p>And a last minute notification I received from Michele Beltrame that made me quite happy: After some years of stagnant activity, we opened a <b>Telegram</b> group for the Italian Perl community. Link from the web site of the <a href="https://www.perl.it/">Italian Perl Mongers</a>.</p>
+<p>Enjoy your week!</p>
