A lighter nopaste, using Mojolicious
This post announces the release of Mojolicious::Command::nopaste, a clone of App::Nopaste using the Mojolicious toolkit. I wrote it mostly as an example of using Mojolicious and its command system, but it has the side benefit of having a much lighter dependency chain than the venerable original (I already have the only required dependency on every box I use).
It also has a few bugfixes that the nopaste author either hasn’t tripped on, or had the time to fix (mostly in the Clipboard interaction on Linux) (sartak if you want to ping me I’d be happy to work with you on it). It has a slightly different list of services, including the very fun MathB.in but lacking Gist for now since the OAuth is something I don’t want to deal with yet. Any other services that people are interested in may be contributed via a PR or even a decent api spec.
Enjoy!
As I delve into the deeper Perl magic I like to share what I can.
What were the issues you had with the Linux clipboard support in App::Nopaste?
I was getting lots of errors when shelling out to xclip but in an attempt to file a bug report, I couldn’t replicate. My module now has a very defensive wrapper for clipboard use, so if you have some problems look at the source and see: https://github.com/jberger/Mojolicious-Command-nopaste/blob/master/lib/Mojolicious/Command/nopaste/Service.pm#L77
