Because YAML isn't hip and trendy enough, at some point recently the toolchain started using META.json files as well as META.yml. Some foolish module authors only use META.json. Because CPANdeps didn't know about this file, their dependency graphs weren't being generated. Well, now they are. I just now pushed the updated code to the site, and you should start to see dependencies for things like deps.cpantesters.org/?module=DBIx%3A%3AClass%3A%3AHelpers&perl=5.14.2&os=any+OS>DBIx::Class::Helpers, which /var/www/index.html
I claimed a while ago that I maintained a list of pdx and telecommute jobs of potential interest to folks I know who are looking for new gigs. Well, I suck at maintaining that list. I'm going to try to make it easier to maintain by re-inventing the page as a twitter feed. The idea is that it is easier to post a couple tweets each day than to edit an html document. If it is sufficiently easier, then I might actually do it regularly.
If you use twitter, follow @this_job. If you use rss, subscribe to ="https://twitter.com/statuses/user…
Hi Folks
After an email discussion with Kim Ryan, author of Locale::SubCountry, and a recent exchange on this very blog, about removing Locale::Country::SubCountry from CPAN, I've released WWW::Scraper::Wikipedia::ISO3166 V 1.01.
It's main purpose is to ship a SQLite database of countries and subcountries, and an interface to that db.

Brenno de Oliveira will give a talk at YAPC::NA 2012 described as:
Data::Printer is a simple and powerful solution to viewing your complex Perl data structures.
Contrary to Data::Dumper and similars which stringify your data in a restrictive way so it can be eval’d back into your code, Data::Printer cares only about letting you easily see what’s in there using colors, filters, a lot of customization and no hassle.
In this talk I’ll showcase Data::Printer and walk through some of its mai…
Due to a cancellation by someone else using the building, we’ve been able to add an additional 40 seats to the Hackathon on June 11th and 12th before YAPC::NA 2012. So if you can make it into town early, and want to stop by, then by all means do so. We’ll officially have room for you.

Robert Blackwell will give a talk at YAPC::NA 2012 described as:
This talk will explain how to have your doorbell do do more. By separating the chime and the button you can do more. I will show how to send a text mesasge and pause your TV when the button pressed. I will also show you how to ring your chime when some sends you a tweet. That will be enough to get you started to do even more cool things.

I use Perl for years, but there are some details that I still am unable to use correctly in Perl. I think they should be my fault. And probably, if I rtfm I would get an answer. Nevertheless, and although this is not perlmonks, I'll post my problem anyway.
I use local $/ = "\n\n" as record separator to read a file. The code that processes that file, uses a module, that decides to open a config file, and that expects that the record separator is a single new line. That library fails.
My main doubt is if all modules shout set the record se…
