more visibility of Perl related projects can only be a good thing

I agree, but posting version release notices in this section is unsustainable. What if the Net-FullAuto-0.99999999999959 guy shows up, or the Dist::Zilla:PluginBundle::Author::BeLikeME crowd? What if someone writes a D::Z plugin to post a notice in this section during distribution release? We already have the CPAN recent uploads feed; it's enough, in my view.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Do you really think that important update to the one of the most popular IDE's perl5 plugin is the same as some minor CPAN module update?

      Sorry, but it's not news that you have a weekly beta code release. If every author thought so, the Perl News section would be unreadable. Surely you can see that?

      The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

        The Perl News section *is* unreadable most of the time now. Literally. Because there is no news, thus nothing to read. I completely take your point and in general agree but the update posted was significant, Perl boosterism is more important now than a few years ago, and if we're averaging two pieces of news a week or less over time (40 Perl News posts this year, week 34 of the year)... we could stand a little more before we start stopping down the pipeline.

        If anything, this should be a call to slackers like me to post more news. There is a fair amount going around on other lists and such.

        I can see that we are not overwhelmed with cool, stable and powerful perl IDEs and I'm trying to create one.

        And i believe it's really important thing for Perl community and Perl popularization. This is not about me, that i'm so cool that released new build, this is about cross-platform stable powerful IDE and new features in it.

        And I've started and doing this in my free time not just to show that I can, but because i believe it's very important and necessary for the sake of the future of Perl.

        Sounds bombastic but that is how it is.
