I've just released version 2.17 of WWW::Mechanize to @metacpan from the Perl Toolchain Summit in Lyon. You can find it at metacpan.org/dist/WWW-Mechan…. Read on for details about this release. #perl
A while back we worked through the pull request queue. This allowed us to look at tidying the code base without breaking people's outstanding PRs. Mechanize now is completely tidy using Perl::Tidy and tidyall, and all code must adhere to the perltidyrc when you submit a new PR.
ALT We are accepting talks,
and deadline for this will be on 16th of April. You are VERY welcome to fill up one or few proposals of your talks, and you can read extra info on recommendations and explanations on perlkohacon.fi site. Helsinki, 14-18 August 2023
NOT A TALKER? Then please call your social bubble to participate, refer all to here: perlkohacon.fi/cft, and of course come yourself as attendee.
WANT TO BECOME FIRST TIME TALKER? We will help you! Communicate with us on perlkohacon@gmail.com, we have "a new talker supporter team" to assist.
There are a few student spots still available for our workshop tomorrow evening 🎉

I have just released version 2.16 of WWW::Mechanize to @metacpan. This release comes with changes to tests, a new feature, more docs and a Perl version bump and has contributions from 5 different people. See metacpan.org/dist/WWW-Mechan… and read on for more details. #perl
The documentation for storing response contents in a file via :content-file now explains that content encoding such as gzip will be retained and written to disk. This was contributed by bscan, the author of Perl Navigator (see youtube.com/watch?v=ENN05EhB… for more on his great work).
I have just released version 6.11 of HTML::Form to @metacpan. This release comes with a few fixes as well as a lot of codebase maintenance. You can find it at metacpan.org/dist/HTML-Form/. Read on for details about what has changed. #perl
There are various HTML::Form::Input based classes in the distribution. These used to all live in the main Form module file. They now all have their own files, which is much easier to maintain. The documentation remains on one page, because that seemed easier to use.
Finally, I have perltidied the codebase for HTML::Form. I should probably make a pun about formatting, but I guess I'm too formal to do that. Anyway, a lot of that code was over 20 years
old, and now my name is on all of it. 😱
@metacpan has one week to migrate and inform any users to use a different login method than @Twitter. If you use your Twitter account to log in there, help them along and switch it to the only other choices, @github or @Google.
