It was a light week due to the holidays. There were 52 messages across 26 threads, with 14 authors contributing. About half were directly related to patch submission.

JIT

The bulk of the non-patch postings this week centered around the JIT. Nothing earth-shattering, although problems with gcc 2.96 under Red Hat Linux have shut things down for that configuration.

Output

Dan Sugalski provided primitives for output.

Parroty Bits

The Perl Development Grant Fund crested 25%.
