  • Commented on Exercise 1. 3s and 5s.

  • Offer Kaye commented on Avoid a Common Software Bug By Using Perl 6

    Very nice article, thank you very much Ovid!

    One question though, about this code:

    die unless $_[0] =~ /^\d+$/;

    One obvious bug is that it will accept octal numbers such as "040". Will the Perl6 "Int" type prevent such numbers?

  • Buddy Burden commented on Breaking the Fourth YAPC
    There's actually been a good amount of work here - See https://github.com/niner/Inline-Perl5/

    This actually looks very promising. Although it's a bit worrisome that I need a specially built perl ... that seems to imply that Perl6 will be shelling out to Perl5 via a system call or somesuch. Which may have performance implications.

    But, nonetheless, this is something I wish the Perl 6 folks at YAPC would have been more vocal about. I think it would go a long way towards allaying …

  • Ken Youens-Clark commented on FASTQ read-pairer

    Sorry, yes, here is the code and sample data:

    https://github.com/kyclark/metagenomics-book/tree/master/perl6/fastq-read-pair

    I should also have elaborated on the problem. Usually the R1/R2 files have each read's forward/reverse (respectively) mate in the same order/location. That is, in the raw FASTQ files, read 1 will be the first in R1/R2, then read 2, always in ascending order. But after QC, R1 might start on read #10 because the first nine forward reads were bad while R2 might …

  • Brad Gilbert commented on Backticks and tests in Perl 6

    You can (and should) remove .slurp and .slurp-rest

    The IO object has a .split method that doesn't have to read the entire contents of the file before splitting the file up.
