I've been hit-or-miss the last week or so, so I'm going to go through this thread as soon as I'm done writing this post.

I'm not going to stop supporting Perl with the Pi stuff I'm doing; far from it. I was just looking for some arbitrary feedback.

In the last few weeks, I've written the initial draft version of 128x64 pixel OLED display distribution which provides us with the ability to write to these little, ubiquitous and very cheap display screens. I'll be adding different sizes and models in the semi-near future (or sooner if anyone asks for one).

I also wrote yesterday RPi::SysInfo, that's a part C/XS and part Perl distribution that gathers and returns various system related info from the Pi itself.

I've compiled all of those new features, along with a couple of other minor changes into RPi::WiringPi v2.3632 which I released this morning.

This week, I'm going to complete phase two of my unit test hardware platform, and then write a detailed blog post about that process with pictures etc. The test platform has been a fun, entertaining, frustrating and enjoyable experience. Can't wait to write the post about it actually.
