Over on www.perl.com, there are several new articles. Simon Cozens writes about programming GNOME applications with Perl, Doug Sheppard's first in a series of articles for beginners, Michel Rodriguez on Perl and XML, and www.perl.com editor Mark-Jason Dominus' latest, a critique of the Perl 6 RFC process (along with Jarkko Hietaniemi's response).

Also up on the site is a transcription of Larry Wall's talk at The Perl Conference 4.0 this past summer.
