• Commented on Reviewing web frameworks
  If you could make a direct link to http://neilb.org/reviews/ on your new blog, it would help to find it. I was just surprised that it was not there and needed to go over tag-search (reviews) and then find the link...

  This superb "background" information should be in the main blog post instead of the comments ;-) It quite made me understanding what your point is....
• 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....
• Commented on deb.perl.it - bridging CPAN and Debian → step2
  My module does have dependencies but unlike in your given example, the install instructions don't suggest any "apt-get install" but only the cpan command: http://deb.perl.it/debian/cpan-deb/#q=EBook%3A%3AMOBI But (for example) File::Temp should be installed by apt in this case I would think....

  Looks really nice!

• j0e commented on Interview with Jeffrey Thalhammer

  As a newbie, this interview was particularly informative and valuable to me.

  I also found your discussion about the Perl communities "idealism" very interesting. It further motivates me to work to try and become a part of this community.

• melezhik commented on chef pinto cookbook

  Ok (: Chef is cool open source tool for managing and configuring servers. Chef users may write various recipes (or installation scenarios) and distribute them as `cookbooks`, once one have specific cookbook he may run it on host (with chef client), to deploy, configure something. The only thing one should have is chef client installed on the host.
