• About:

  Just in case you like to know, I'm currently full-time father of 2 kids, half-time Perl hacker, sort-of DJ, bicyclist, no longer dreadlocked and more than 34 years old but too lazy to update my profile once a year.

  I'm also head of Vienna.pm, no longer maintainer of the CPANTS project, member of the TPF Grants Commitee and the YAPC Europe Foundation.

  I've got stuff on CPAN, held various talks and organise the Austrian Perl Workshops and YAPC::Europe 2007.

  Just a few days ago I extracted empty_port and _check_port from Test::TCP to use it in some 0mq project. Do you think it would make sense to publish a CPAN module that only implements empty_port? I'd love something like that......

• Commented on CPAN modules for getting module dependency information
  Module::ExtractUse can also report dependencies, though it mainly cares for stuff you use (so it does no mapping of module name to distribution). It's used by CPANTS, and is, as the whole CPANTS, a bit outdated with regards to more...

  Really cracked me up when i first saw it.

• Al Newkirk commented on Please build this for me, yesterday, also!

  Finding an "empty_port" is trivial, and there are many ways to do it. Finding an "empty_port" is not the "hot dog" (essential part of the experience), the "hot dog" is in being able to "reproduce results".

  For example, let's say you have an application server that gets checked-out of the repository and configured on multiple machines, sometimes on the same machine by multiple users.

  Let's take it a step further and say that you want to automate configuration and deployment, continuously (buzzword, .. but seriously). Furthermore, let say you want other distributed application…

• Al Newkirk commented on Please build this for me, yesterday, also!

  Net::EmptyPort and Test::TCP both look great, I will use them.

• BooK commented on Perl programmer humour

  In Test::Database, all database "drivers" end with the name of the DBD driver. Not really funny, though.
