ActiveState and Microsoft have just done up a 3-year contract for Perl Open Source development and support for Windows.
ActiveState will add features such as full Unicode support for Windows. In addition, what ActiveState refers to as a "significant amount of the development effort" will be released as open source code.
Betas of the next release are scheduled for August 1999.
You can see the press release on the ActiveState site at:

Adrian authored the usability case study for evolt.org in Usability: The Site Speaks for Itself, published by glasshaus. He has written three chapters for the book Professional Web Graphics for Non Designers, also published by glasshaus. Adrian also managed to get a couple chapters written (and published) for The Web Professional's Handbook before glasshaus went under. They were really quite good. You should have bought more of the books.
