In this talk I will present the recipe I am using to build Perl Modules that depend on C or C++ libraries (and that ship those C or C++ libraries with the module itself).

The recipe uses a mixture of Module::Build custom building module, ExtUtils::CBuilder for C compiler interface, ExtUtils::LibBuilder to adapt some ExtUtils::CBuilder defaults that make standards library build impossible, and Config::AutoConf for externals libraries and headers detection.

This recipe has been used in a lot of diffe…

Continuous Deployment is a big topic if you want to push out code to production as fast as possible. The little pitfall is that it is not that straight forward if you want to use a PP approach. We at iWantMyName came up with a pure perl tool chain all the way from your git repository via integration testing to deployment to your production servers.

At YAPC::EU 2012 Matt S Trout will tell you something about the "State of the Velociraptor":

"What shall we do tonight, mst?"

"Same thing we do every night: Try to conquer the world"

As usual, mst presents a madcap recap of the last year in the perl5 community combined with some thoughts on how both madness and method can inform our approach to our language, community and culture over the next year.

When attempting to learn Dancer I ran into the problem that all the documentation started from "Here is a 'Hello World' script". But that was assuming many things were set up and configured and that just was not true, at least not on my server.

This is a collection of what I learned.

Ulrich Wisser will give a talk at YAPC::Europe 2012 described as

Perl::Critic can and should be used to greatly improve the quality of any Perl code. The only disadvantage of Perl::Critic is that it provides no history. I will show how .SE (the Swedish country code top level domain registry) uses Perl::Critic to improve code quality and how we mitigated Perl::Critic's disadvantage. Bonus: How to convince management to fund a Perl::Critic evaluation and improvement of your codebase.
