• Commented on Lock::File - yet another file locking module
  I'm the author of one of these modules -- File::Flock::Tiny ;). The reason I created my own module is that locking is a bit tricky thing and if I use such a module I want to know exactly what happens...

• Commented on Stop using Locale::Maketext
  I think there's some misunderstanding. My problem with gettext is follows, consider the code: say __"<h1>Hello!</h1>"; open my $fh, "<", "/ets/passwd" or die $!; I want it to say "Hello!" to English speaking user, "你好！" to Chinese, "Привет!" to Russian,...
• Commented on Stop using Locale::Maketext
  Locale::gettext still requires you to set locale, which makes it unsuitable for multiuser server applications. That's IMO most serious design flaw in gettext. As for plural support in Locale::Maketext::Lexicon, I extracting Plural-Forms header from .po file, just like gettext do...

• brian d foy commented on Versioning Developer Releases

  Some people replied that they do the odd/even thing. I take the current version and start stacking dev releases on it until I bump the stable version:

  1.001 #release
  1.001_01
  1.001_02
  1.002 # release

  I don't have any particular reason for doing it that way.

  Just please do not include the 'v' in your version string -- see http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/369/version-numbers-should-be-boring

• Chisel commented on Versioning Developer Releases

  The 'v' is only display level - I promise :)

  $WebService::NotifyMyAndroid::VERSION = '0.0.6';

  Thanks for pointing out this subtle, but important factoid. I also highly recommend reading Dave Golden's treatise on version numbers:

  http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/369/version-numbers-should-be-boring

  The documentation for version.pm is also very good reading material. It is important to understand the differences between decimal and dotted-decimal version numbers.

• Boris Däppen commented on Versioning Developer Releases

  Just found this link (by googling "cpan developer release")

  http://www.cpan.org/modules/04pause.html#developerreleases

  It is actually all explained there.

  Thank god I know now. It happened so often to me that I uploaded a release and found out days later it was broken. I did not know of this functionality.
