Comment Threads

• Enkidu commented on A quick static file webserver

  That’s what I’ve been looking for the last 2 months. Too many web servers on CPAN and too few Neil Bowers to sift through them all. That’s something that I can proudly share with my non-Perl friends.

• Aristotle commented on CPAN modules for parsing User-Agent strings

  Any chance you’ll revisit this to include HTTP::UA::Parser in the line-up?

• Neil Bowers commented on CPAN modules for parsing User-Agent strings

  Aristotle: definitely. I'm working on a new review at the moment, but then plan to do updates, as a number of my reviews have modules that need adding. You could +1 my play-perl quest for this :-)

• Joel Berger commented on The Main Problem With CPAN Modules On Github

  I guess I'm in the dwindling minority of people who don't mind hand-crafting a Build.PL file. I should do well to remember that.

  I really like the concept of cpanfile for non-CPAN projects, I agree that having a "fake" Makefile.PL just to be able to do cpanm --installdeps on it is unnecessary.

  That said, for projects destined for CPAN, part of the reason that I still prefer a real Build.PL and associated vagaries, rather than dzil or other author-side build tools is that being close to the actual releasable dist allows others to jump in with less cognitive dissonance. The od…

• Pedro Melo commented on Fat Versus Thin Core

  I would prefer a thin Perl core, but not until we can install modules without super-user permissions on any system and having them recognised immediately by perl.

  The path to this nirvana-like place is not that hard:

  1. settle on ~/.perl5/local [1] as your own personal "local::lib" source;
  2. make sure perl always sources /etc/perl5_policy.pl first: this should take precedence even over sitecustomize.pl which is a per-library file;
  3. distribute a default perl5_policy.pl file that, if running as a non-priviledged user, and if ~/.perl/local exists, prepends the …
