Gabor Szabo (szabgab): Debugging Perl scripts

2012-02-04T22:05:06Z

When I studied computer sciences in the university, we learned a lot on how to write programs, but as far as I remember no one told us about debugging. We heard about the nice world of creating new things, but no one told us that most of the time we [...]

2012-02-04T20:13:41Z

Yup. Plucking the alpaca's eyebrows again, I'm afraid...

You see, because of merciless peer pressure, I've revived Perl::Achievements. I thought that would keep the wolves at bay, but noooo... Not a hour after the announcement was sent, I got a new fe [...]

2012-02-04T20:13:41Z

Yanick Champoux (yanick): Ask the Magic MemeBall

2012-02-04T20:13:41Z

The goal of most of my projects are to improve on the status quo, in some way or other.

Sporadically, I'll also take on a project just to try my hand at a new technology, as a kind of lab experiment.

And then, there are the more rare instances when the [...]

Yanick Champoux (yanick): A Quick Pas de Deux with Dancer

2012-02-04T20:13:41Z

This is going to be a short one, but potentially useful for anybody writing a Dancer template module, or just plain curious about Dancer's guts. So here goes:

A few weeks ago, it came to my attention that Dancer's Dancer::Template::Abstract, the base [...]

Yanick Champoux (yanick): A Web Log Analyzer Called DuckFeet

2012-02-04T12:13:38Z

In this modern world, time is a rare commodity. It's a well-known fact. It has to be carefully budgeted and thriftily spent. There is never enough time to do everything one wants to do, so we have to prioritize, pick what is important and cut our los [...]

2012-02-04T04:56:04Z

I just installed Perforce (what a hassle!) and discovered that it wonât authenticate to the local Unix accounts out of the box. The nice folks at Perforce let you call an external trigger, and provide a complex sample that will handle talking to Acti [...]

Dave Jacoby (/var/log/rant): A little bit on OAuth and Net::Twitter on the Command Line

#!/usr/bin/perl

# largely taken verbatim from
# http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-Twitter/lib/Net/Twitter/Role/OAuth.pm

# Next step is to get the keys and secrets to a config.

2012-02-03T20:46:43Z

People occasionally ask for practical examples of macros when I lament the lack of macros in Perl 5. While I'm usually pleased at the degree to which Perl lets me design code to get and stay out of my way,...

Gabor Szabo (szabgab): Perl on the command line

2012-02-03T16:33:43Z

While most of the tutorial deals with scripts saved in a file we'll also see a couple of examples for one-liners. Even if you are using Padre or some other IDE that would let you run your script from the editor itself it is very important to familiar [...]
