The Designer's Guide to Letter-Spacing | Webdesigner Depot
There are a lot of different typefaces and a single rule doesn’t apply to all of them. Experiment with letter-spacing and do what seems right to you. There are some simple guidelines that will lead you in the right direction, especially when working with body text:
Letter-Spacing Headlines
If you are using well designed fonts, you can be sure that they are calibrated well, and you won’t need to make any major adjustments to them. However, the problem with headlines is that at larger scales the space between letters looks unbalanced. It can be fixed by increasing or decreasing the letter-spacing value.
There are no strict rules for letter-spacing — there are a lot of typefaces and all of them require an individual approach — but if you look at how big companies like Google and Apple treat their typefaces, you can find a lot of valuable information there.

Make a Versatile Cedar Planter Box
I made my planter box out of cedar, which smells great and weathers very well. I kept mine natural to easily blend with any outdoor patio style. You could also paint or stain it to match your own personal style.

How to Make and Use Router Templates
Learn how to make and use router templates when you are building your woodworking projects. Router templates can help you do three main things: First, they can help you trace complex shapes onto your project parts quickly and easily. Once you’ve got the template, you don’t have to lay all of this out again manually. Second, you can use your templates to actually make your project parts with a router and the right bits. And finally, you can keep your templates for possible re-use. That can save a lot of layout time down the road, if should you decide to make the project again.

Modern Perl CGI | Aristotle [blogs.perl.org]
A modernisation of this using Plack is straightforwardly equivalent:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Plack::Request;
use Encode::Simple;
use JSON::MaybeXS;
my $app = sub {
my $req = Plack::Request->new($_[0]);
my $input = eval { decode 'UTF-8', $req->parameters->{'input'} };
[ 200, [ 'Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=UTF-8' ], [ encode_json { output => uc $input } ] ];
};
This is now a full PSGI app and as such gains all the same additional deployment options of the Mojolicious example. To deploy it as a CGI script you add this line at the bottom:
use Plack::Handler::CGI; Plack::Handler::CGI->new->run($app);
In all it takes about twice as long to load as the CGI.pm example, compared to the Mojolicious example taking about 7× as long. In exchange you get all the benefits of the PSGI ecosystem – without losing any of the strengths of deploying as a CGI script, unlike the Mojolicious example.
