The 2004 Perl Advent Calendar is available, starting with the DateTime module. I am often bothered with how difficult it can still be to work with dates and times. DateTime makes it more than tolerable.
I just stumbled again into Apocalypse 12, dealing with objects in Perl 6. I've stayed away from recent apocalypses because they require understanding everything that's come before and I don't have the time to invest in digesting them — especially as I don't do much Perl programming right now. I'm still tempted to read Perl 6 and Parrot Essentials but reluctantly put that off, too. Someday…
In the meantime, I content myself with the bite-sized snippets of Perl goodness at the Perl Advent Calendar. What a way to celebrate the season!
