    The root namespace in Perl 6 module land is not the same as Perl 5 due to auth: `use HTTP:ver(v1.0):auth('cpan:GMANE')` This means your module's name does not have to be predetermined by the content storages (cpan, or any 3rd party...

  • Posted Assigning a user defined function at runtime to ugexe

    I recently wrote my first XS module, and found myself wanting to dynamically load it in the parent module if possible. The next problem was what if the user wants to change back to the pure Perl version? And then, what if the user wants to use Other::Module's similar_function?

  • Zoffix Znet commented on Perl6 module namespace

    It's documented in the S22 speculation, I believe: http://design.perl6.org/S22.html#META6.json

    use Mail:approved-by('LWALL')

    That's not at all what I was talking about. The distribution's META file has a tags field that let any "distribution accumulators" (such as a CPAN site) to use those tags when trying to figure out what the user wants to find. Just like the posts on this website can be tagged with say, '…

  • Wbiker commented on Need Perl6 modules on Windows then use Zef

    @ugexe
    I do not say that panda does not have problems on Windows.
    I do say that the error "'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
    operable program or batch file." is not a panda one.
    I read the entire post and the gist as well. And his walkaround was to use the Git shell not to put the git.exe in the PATH environment variable. If you use the GIT CMD shell it works as well.
    So, Panda has flaws but you cannot blame it for this git problem thing.

  • Yuki Kimoto commented on How about separating dynamic world and static world?

    For example, Perl 6 has the following syntax.

    sub foo($foo) { ... }
    multi sub foo(Int $int) { say 'int' }
    multi sub foo(Str $str) { say 'str' }

    First is normal subroutine. This is dynamic language feature.
    Last two are function overloading. This is static language feature.

    I think this is messy for user because dynamic features and static feature are mixed.

    My proposal is that how about separating dynamic feature and static feature in Perl 5.

    package Foo;
    sub foo ($foo) { ... }

    package Bar : static;
    sub foo(Int $in…

  • Damian Conway commented on How about separating dynamic world and static world?
    First is normal subroutine. This is dynamic language feature.

    Function overloading is indeed a static language feature.

    But the multi keyword doesn't provide static function overloading.
    The multi keyword provides dynamic multiple dispatch.

    Function overloading occurs at compile-time, when the compiler looks at the static types of the declared arguments to an overloaded subroutine or method and selects which overloading to call on the…

    Damian Conway

    Thanks for your comment.

    But the multi keyword doesn't provide static function overloading. The multi keyword provides dynamic multiple dispatch.

    I think is is not good because performance cost occur when type check is done at run-time,
    and it increase launguage complexity.
    Perl has already complex syntax. I don't hope more complexity.

    For example, I like cpan-minus than cpan-plus. why? cpan-minus is fast, minimal and enough.
    I like small aproach which can solve problems smart.

    For the long time, Perl…
