deb.perl.it - bridging CPAN and Debian → step2

2013-01-24T09:38:05Z

To make the Debian-Perl module look-up more useful, there are now install instructions included. That means that all non-packaged CPAN dependencies and also all packaged ones are listed and it's clear what can be installed from packages and what needs to be installed from CPAN. Here's an example for App::TimeTracker:

sudo apt-get install libexception-class-perl libclass-accessor-perl libmoosex-role-parameterized-perl libjson-perl libnamespace-autoclean-perl libtry-tiny-perl libtest-trap-perl libtest-most-perl libtest-file-perl librt-client-rest-perl libpath-class-perl libmoosex-types-path-class-perl libmoosex-storage-perl libmoosex-getopt-perl libmoose-perl libmodule-build-perl libtest-mock-lwp-perl libjson-xs-perl libio-capture-perl libhash-merge-perl libgit-repository-perl libfile-homedir-perl libfile-find-rule-perl r-base-core-ra perl-modules libdigest-sha1-perl libdatetime-format-iso8601-perl libdatetime-format-duration-perl libdatetime-perl perl perl-base

sudo cpan -i Iterator Path::Class::Iterator MooseX::Storage::Format::JSONpm App::TimeTracker

Just a note that this works fine for Debian stable+testing+unstable. Which is not so common. Most installations will be stable or testing+unstable. Once Debian Wheeze (7.0) will become stable (hopefully soon) I'll split that search to two - one for Debian stable and one for Debian testing+unstable.

deb.perl.it - bridging CPAN and Debian → step1

After more then a year of silence I've managed to resurrect the Debian::Apt::PM and new Perl indexes are available for both i386 and amd64 platforms.

For now the web site can be used to find out if a Perl module is packaged for Debian with which version or not at all. Ex.:

http://deb.perl.it/debian/cpan-deb/#q=CPAN

In the future I can add Ubuntu repositories too, but those are quite huge to process.

Greetings to Perl - Italy and big thank you for providing hostname for this project!

Acme::KnowledgeWisdom

2011-07-13T04:45:21Z

Let this blog post be also an invitation to my talk that I'll have on this years YAPC::EU::2011 in Riga and a reason "Why?" there will be more questions then answers.

There is one question that keeps me busy for quite some months now already and that is: What if the knowledge and wisdom is not in answers, but in questions?

As it kept me busy for just too long and as I'm a full-time Perl programmer, I've decided to write a code to help me answer "Why?".

package Acme::KnowledgeWisdom;

our $VERSION = '0.01';

use Moose;

use warnings FATAL => 'all';

has 'in_questions' => ( isa => 'Bool', is => 'ro', default => 1);

has 'has_already'  => ( isa => 'Bool', is => 'ro', default => 0);

sub get {

    my $kw = shift;

    

    return $kw->ask

        if $kw->in_questions;

    return 42;

}

sub ask {

    my $self = shift;

    

    return 42

        if $self->has_already;

    

    my $kw = Acme::KnowledgeWisdom->new;

    return $kw->get;

}

1;

The module is well tested ;-) and is of course on CPAN.
