• Posted Perl Success Story - Managing PHP apps with Perl to Jesse Shy

  WebPub helps install and manage popular web apps. We currently are doing WordPress, Drupal, MODX and phpBB. While the web UI is in PHP (decided before I came onboard) the backend is all Perl.

  Some of the major components being used are: Mojolicious, Moose, DBIx::Class and Gearman.

• Posted How not to use Moose to Jesse Shy

  Maybe this is legitimate and I just don't know why, but I have seen the following in a couple of projects where I have taken over after the original programmer left:

  use Moose;
  
  has [qw/foo bar baz/], is => 'rw';
  
  no Moose;
  
  sub something {}
  

• Commented on Archive::Tar::Wrapper vs. Archive::Tar
  It was seeing Archive::Tar::Wrapper in dzil that led me to it. I have a tarball that has all the statics I need but, there are dynamic files that need written to the tarball for each install. So, I am injecting...
• Posted Archive::Tar::Wrapper vs. Archive::Tar to Jesse Shy

  If you don't know it, Archive::Tar is SLOW; it even says so. Running NYTProf recently on a project revealed that the major part of the program was taking a little more than 27 seconds to run and a little over 24 seconds of this was Archive::Tar reading the archive into memory. Since I did not…

  Maybe someone should tell these guys: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/programming-language-learn-web-programming/ or even these guys to stop using CGI.pm in their examples http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-perlweb_revision/index.html What would be great (although I don’t think I would be the best person to do this ) is a “Why...
• Posted Perl documentation is Awesome to Jesse Shy

  After reading the blog here a couple of weeks ago about taking 10 minutes to look for the answer before asking your fellow dev, and several other things of late about the state of documentation and such, I wanted to take some time to say this: "Things can always be improved upon, but for the most…

• Posted Frequently installing apps via any FTP to Jesse Shy

  Your app is in a tarball and clients only have FTP access to install your app on their host. Furthermore, you need to customize the config file (or do other process) for each install. What you need is Net::xFTP and Archive::Tar. Net::xFTP's put allows you to pass in an open…

  Or you could use something like SQLite with AnyEvent::DBI / AnyEvent::DBI::Abstract instead of MongoDb.

• Leanan commented on Sexual Harassment?

  I think it depends on the situation.

  Situation 1:
  Linda and Matt are friends. They've grown close at work, talked about interests. That sort of thing. IE: They have a comfortable relationship already and Matt's interested in her. If this is the situation, I think this is by far one of the cutest, sweetest things. In this situation I'd probably say yes (were I not already married).

  Situation 2:
  Linda and Matt are co-workers. Matt is a little creepy. He's maybe tried to ask her out before and she's side stepped or said no. Or they really aren't much on the f…

  To me its a little heavy handed. ... He should have used Moo! (ba-dum).

  Truthfully, I'll echo the others. Assuming Matt's advanced haven't been rebuffed before, and that they are on good terms, I don't think telling someone that they are awesome and politely asking on a date is inherently harassment.

  Personally, I think its a rather cute tactic. Of course the situation is different, but who can forget (ok, I just found out about it) the proposal on PerlMonks!

• tinita commented on Sexual Harassment?

  thanks for the recommendation of "The Guy’s Guide to Feminism". I ordered the ebook and are half through it. although i'm not part of the main target audience, it has some interesting points. some of them were also mentioned by several people in the recent discussions.
