• Commented on Perl5 Census Japan 2013
  Honestly, don't know. Personally I hear about just about every possible framework out there, so there seems to be no One True Framework. And I lately do not work on stuff that runs on a framework, so I'm kind of...
• Posted Perl5 Census Japan 2013 to lestrrat

  During Apr 7 - 19, I conducted a web questionnaire targeting Japanese Perl users, which I titled "Perl5 Census Japan 2013" ;)

  I purposely asked people spreading the news to specifically state that this was not just for hardcore Perl users, and that even if you did't use Perl much these day…

  During the last leg of my new year's vacation, I started hacking on ZMQ::LibZMQ3 et al again, due to gentle prodding from @melo to include zmq_proxy().

• 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…

• Tatsuhiko Miyagawa commented on The Main Problem With CPAN Modules On Github

  Joel Burger:
  

  That's exactly my point :)

  > Then again, I'm sure other prefer cpanfile or dist.ini to Build.PL. Oh well.

  It makes me giggle reading your comment, because you know what, my next target is to integrate LeonT's Module::Build::Tiny to work well with cpanfile, so that you have a real Build.PL in the repo that works transparently with cpanfile + MYMETA protocol, to get the best of both worlds :)…

  Thanks, this was interesting to look at.

• J. Bobby Lopez commented on Perl5 Census Japan 2013

  I liked this, thanks so much for your efforts in putting it together!

  394 replies over the course of two weeks is pretty good. It would be great to see how this data changes in a year, and for other tech-oriented countries/cities. Japan is sort of a nice little isolated demographic, so I can definitely see the appeal in starting there. Were there other motivating factors for looking at Japans' perl usage?

  "Japan Perl Association director; Livedoor, Inc; Tokyo, Japan" - I answered my own question. Thanks again :)
