• Posted smart-matching and sub funhouse to rodrigolive

  Bad timing: now that smart-matching is under scrutiny, I've started to have fun writing Perl like this:

  use signatures;
  use Path::Class;
  
  file( 'file.txt' ) ~~ sub ($f) {
     say $f->basename;

• Commented on Can't choose CPAN namespace
  I'd suggest you focus on getting an early release out first: what's the cornerstone functionality that ties all of your modules together? Which one of your modules could be uploaded on its own? Can you break your modules down into...
• Commented on YAPC::EU::2005 Proceedings
  Great doc! You're right, some of it is still current, and even when it isn't, it makes for good reading anyway. I specially liked the optimization part by Nick Clark....

• Posted CPAN source syntax highlighting to rodrigolive

  I've just updated a syntax highlighter bookmarklet I wrote a while back so that it now supports Chrome and Safari, besides Firefox.

• Commented on threads::lite and the chameneoses
  I worked on this a while back, but never submitted the entry, don't know why really. It's based on this version. Take a look at mine and try it out. I think it's quite fast, maybe 7x faster, and uses...
• Posted compiling nginx on aix to rodrigolive

  Another working day in AIX... This time trying to compile a nginx server to run on top of Catalyst.

  This is what has worked for me:

  $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/nginx --user=nginx--group=nginx \
  --without-http_rewrite_module \
  --without-http-cache --w…

  Thanks.
  This code is definitely a framework, so I want to keep it in one namespace, to emphasize common interface.
  Yes, I can and will split it into several distributions.

  I think i'll go with Tube::*.
  "Your program is a series of tubes" will make a good tagline :)
