article by Jodi Bollaert [28]on writing and maintaining FAQs.

Andy Neely [38]discusses techniques for making a critical server more
reliable in an O'Reilly OnLAMP article. "Most system administrators
who have maintained a server for more than a few months will have
their own stories to tell. It might be an installation or a
configuration problem, a daemon that stops responding every six or
eight weeks, or the 150 million duplicate entries that filled up the
log partition last Sunday."
Web-site Development
Latest Zope News. A few interesting developments have shown up in the
latest [39]Zope News. Among other things, Zope 2.4.0 alpha 1 is

Framework, has been released.
Using CGI::Application (www.perl.com). Www.perl.com features an
article by Jesse Erlbaum [40]on the Perl CGI::Application module.

the more onerous programming techniques that have cast an unfavorable
light upon it."
Window Systems

Caml Weekly News is out. News this week features a new release of
Camlp4, OCaml compiler optimizations, and more.
FORTRAN
g95: Free Crunch Time. If you have some legacy FORTRAN code that you
want to run, check out the [60]g95 Fortran Compiler project. The
compiler is still in an "embryonic state", but appears to be moving
forward at a decent rate. The g95 team aims to have the software
included in GCC, the Gnu Compiler Collection.
Haskell
Haskell Updates. A few updates to the Haskell project [61]have been
announced. Version 5.00.1 of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler is
available, and a beta version of Hat, the Haskell tracker was also

features bug fixes, improved support for CLOS pattern matching, and an
updated reference guide.
Prototype cCLan announced. A prototype of the comprehensive Common
Lisp archive network, or cCLan, [64]has been announced. The site aims
to be the Lisp language equivalent of the Perl CPAN, a central
repository for Lisp packages.
Perl
Turning the Tides on Perl's Attitude Toward Beginners ( Perl.com).
This article from Perl.com examines [65]how the Perl community can
open its arms to beginners better than it has in the past. "After said
programmer has been flambe'ed to perfection they have to endure five
more messages concerning the use of chop() and its evils, not to
mention a handful of warnings about why putting double quotes around
$username will cause famine in the land. Granted, these last few
messages contain good information, but it's unlikely the beginner will
even read these messages. Why would anyone want to subject themselves
to more abuse when it's easier to delete the messages and move on to
another programming language?"
Perl 5 Porters for June 5, 2001. The [66]June 5, 2001 edition of the
Perl 5 Porters digest is out. Topics include improving the Perl test
suite, installing libnet into the core of Perl, work on making Perl
build cleanly with -Wall (with no mention of -Larry), and more.
Perl 6 Porters for June 3, 2001. The [67]June 3 edition of Perl 6
Porters is available. This week's issue covers more on virtual
registers, coding conventions, the new magical variable it, and more.
Tracking Perl Module Use (Dr. Dobbs'). Brian Dfoy [68]takes a look at
tracking Perl Modules in a Dr. Dobbs' article. "Hundreds of Perl
modules are available to expand the language for almost any task.
There are even modules, such as CPAN.pm and Devel::Modlist, to help
manage the modules you use."
PHP
PHP Weekly Summary for June 4, 2001. The [69]June 4, 2001 edition of
the PHP Weekly Summary has been published. Topics include fixing the
cURL extension and the PHP test suite, a new TUX SAPI module, and
timing for the release of the upcoming PHP 4.0.6 rc2.
Python
Dr. Dobb's Python-URL! for June 4, 2001. The [70]June 4, 2001 edition
of the Dr. Dobb's weekly Python summary is available. Topics include
the DISLIN data plotting library, generating graphics with Piddle, the
PYUI user interface, Python games, and more.
Getting started with PyXPCOM (IBM developerWorks). IBM's
developerWorks looks at [71]PyXPCOM, the Python interface to XPCOM
that comes as part of the Komodo project. "The main developer of
PyXPCOM is Mark Hammond, who is also the main force behind the Python
binding for COM. He's had help from others including David Ascher and
the expanding community of PyXPCOM users. PyXPCOM allows the developer
to access XPCOM objects from Python code and implement XPCOM objects
in Python code."
Dive Into Python Chapter 5. Chapter 5 of the free online Python book
[72]has been announced. This chapter covers Python unit testing with
PyUnit.
Pyagent 1.00 released. Version 1.00 of pyagent, an open infrastructure
for intelligent agents [73]has been announced. "Pyagent provides a
simple, open infrastructure for intelligent agents. pyagent is based
on Frederik Lundh's implementation of XML-RPC."
Ruby

Ruby home page. The [75]list of changes includes numerous bug fixes.
Tcl/Tk

the Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL! is available. Topics include Tcl and 64 bit
integers, building TclPro, working with directories and sym links, and
more. "Also noteworthy, from the director of the Tcl Consortium: 'The
lawyers can make rules, but these guys (open source programmers) will
find a way to get around them.'"
XML
The State of XML: Why Individuals Matter (O'Reilly). Edd Dumbill
adapted his closing notes to the XML Europe 2001 conference and has
produced an article on [77]Why Individuals Matter. "Adding XML into
your computing environment can be like initiating a chain reaction.
Once one component can import, export, or process XML, it becomes
obvious that there will be great benefit if the next component does,
and the next, and so on. Within organizations and systems, XML is
starting to form the basis for a 'data bus,' where information can
flow between applications with less resistance and effort than
previously." The article provides a good overall look at the current
state of XML.
Revisiting XML tools for Python (IBM developerWorks). David Mertz
takes a look at [78]Python based XML tools in an IBM developerWorks
article. "The first two installments of Charming Python by David Mertz
provided an overview of working with XML in Python. In the year since
those initial writings, however, the state of XML tools for Python has
advanced significantly. Unfortunately, most of these advances have not
been backwards compatible. This special installment article revisits
the author's previous discussion of XML tools, and provides up-to-date
code samples."
