(This post is just a lazy "proof-of-concept" for articles that review modules, but not focusing on comparing similar/competing modules for a task, but on listing various modules surrounding a theme or task.)
So far, this is a short list. You'd guess correctly that more prominent languages like English would have far more tools for it.
Converting number to/from verbage. There's Lingua::ID::Nums2Words for converting number to verbage and Lingua::ID::…
For me, it goes something like this.
First, I edit Changes and dist.ini. Some people automate filling their Changes entry from 'git log', I find this inappropriate since Changes are meant for users, not developers. I also still bump version number manually (though only in one place, dist.ini). Perhaps someday I'll automate it; my version numbering scheme is mostly a boring 0.01-increments anyway.
This modification to two files will be in the commit message that marks the release.
Then I "push the one-click release process button", by running a simple Perl script, witho…
The original plan made at the end of March of working on the Sah data validation framework and form processing framework didn't happen. In April and May I released fewer CPAN distributions due to vacation.
In May and June a majority of my Perl hacking time is spent around the transaction specification in Rinci and Riap, plus a framework/generator…
I knew this day was coming.
Today I'm changing a bunch of code which uses ref() (specifically, code which checks whether something is a coderef: ref($foo) eq 'CODE'
) to use reftype() instead. reftype() works with blessed coderefs. And I will be encountering blessed coderefs quite a bit since my function wrapper (Perinci::Sub::Wrapper) marks its generated wrapper code by blessing them. I'm not even sure how that would be useful, but I'd still like to know if some function has been wrapped.
I have been putting off this for months (more than a yea…
Despite of what's expressed in this blog post, I am generally responsive (as can be seen from my RT track record) and willing to be cooperative (or rather, not really willing to be uncooperative). I even often do the opposite of what I wrote below. It's just that sometimes you need to vent.
On people suggesting to use File::Spec (or Path::Class) everytime... Have using hard-coded "/" failed these days (on platforms that I care about)? Why do I have to subject myself to the verbose file('a', 'b', 'c')
or even the masochistic ="prettyp…
