Komodo 7, first try

By Alberto Simões on January 30, 2012 3:18 PM under Perl

I do not test Komodo for years. Decided to give it a chance. Sometimes I miss autocomplete in emacs (any emacs user suggesting any emacs plugin?). But first script I edit with Komodo, and it doesn't know how to highlight the file, when I have a line like:
@files = <????/*.abs>
It thinks that is starting a regular expression. Oh damn :)

Fixed it with glob, of course. But didn't like :)

Thank you, CPAN Testers

By Alberto Simões on January 14, 2012 9:21 PM under Testing

Today I just want to thank you to all CPAN Testers. I do not know if there are such initiatives for other programming languages, but you are awesome. So many architectures, so many operating systems, so many Perl versions.

I hope to help someday. I just need to find some time for it.

Thank YOU all!

CPAN and undef versions (again)

By Alberto Simões on January 11, 2012 6:09 PM under Perl Module

Some time ago I complained that some modules that had a version ended doing it. The problem? I use a lot the 'r' command in the CPAN client to check for outdated modules. Now, I get a lot of failures that are not really failures:
