• Commented on Never ever trust Ubuntu
  It's not Ubuntu's fault, nor is it that of Debian (where the package actually originated from). The Debian/Ubuntu package 'ack' predates the awesome 'ack' tool that we all want. So, they had to choose a different name. Hence ack-grep. From...

  You're quite welcome!

• brian d foy commented on Mobrater and White Camel Nominations

  Yes, there are a lot of rough edges to MobRater. There isn't a way for anyone to merge or edit or delete entries. There are no admin controls at all for the content.

• Buddy Burden commented on Play Perl is a Startup

  Definitely wishing you the best of luck. Running a business can be a huge PITA, and it can be very rewarding. Generally it's both at once. :-)

  When you start adding features, put me down as a +1 for adding GitHub login.

  @thaljef:

  The world is a very big place. If you can conquer just a tiny patch of it, you can live quite comfortably. At least, that's what I tell myself every morning. Follow your dream.

  Nice one, man. I'm totally adding that to my fortune file. ;->

• James commented on Perl Web Application

  Nice. I see it isn't too tied to Apache/mod_perl (you can run it with cgi handlers), have you tried running it with one of the CGI PSGI adapters or in one of the Plack Web Servers like Starman or Starlet?

• rlauer commented on Perl Web Application

  I assume you are talking about Bedrock...no...we've strictly been using it with Apache, but would that sounds like a very good idea. We've never considered performance an issue - CPUs have just kept up and any performance issues these days seem to be mitigated (at least in our environment) by load balancing.

  The code is available for download, so anyone that wants to get ambitious can have some fun.
