• Posted Forward::Routes block syntax to Forward Ever

  Forward::Routes provides routes for framework developers.

  The following feature refers to the Github version and is experimental: https://github.com/forwardever/Forward-Routes

• Posted Mouse/Moose delegation feature to Forward Ever

  Using Mouse for my experimental Module Forward::ORM really seems to pay off.

  One of my classes just has to delegate method calls to another class, here my first draft:

• Commented on Ruby like code blocks in Perl
  okay, this would also be possible, but like a named parameter more (it is more obvious that $t or $table is the table object, which might be easier to explain to end users)...
• Commented on New "dot" feature
  really like it, is there already a solution for $hashref.{key} ? As $hashref->{key} still makes more sense....
• Posted Ruby like code blocks in Perl to Forward Ever

  While thinking about how to best define migrations/tables in my experimental module certain things in scope:

  In my first version, I used default Perl:

• Commented on search.cpan.org down
  @Ranguard yes, I can still access any other site, including https://metacpan.org/...
• Posted search.cpan.org down to Forward Ever

  Today, and in recent weeks, search.cpan.org has been down a couple of times, but NOT really:

  Turning off my router and then turning it on again actually helps!

  Does that make any sense at all???

  By the way, search.cpan.org is the only site showing this strange behaviour!

• Posted SQL Abstraction to Forward Ever

  SQL abstraction is hard it seems. Trying to insert an empty record in SQLite should look like this:

  INSERT INTO "authors" DEFAULT VALUES
  

  In SQL::Abstract and SQL::Maker, it does not work:

  INSERT INTO "authors…

• Posted DBIx::Inspector Schema Loader to Forward Ever

  Today, I was looking for a simple module that fetches my DB schema. Played around with DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader and Rose::DB::Object::Metadata, with no success.

  Have already given up, but finally decided to make a Github search for DBIx, which provided exactly what I needed. Jus…

• Posted Mo supports chained accessors to Forward Ever

  with the help of ingydotnet++ valuable suggestions, Mo now has the option to chain accessors:

  package ChainedAccessors;
  use Mo qw/chain/;
  
  has 'first'  => (chain => 1);
  has 'second' => (chain => 1);
  
  
  package main;
  
  $f = ChainedAccessors->new;

• Commented on Chaining in Moose, Mouse, Moo and Mo
  created a chaining plugin: https://github.com/forwardever/mo-pm/commit/eb543b7d0e82a3ee498f427f34122c20da12b06c not sure about the api, so it is just experimental...
• Commented on Chaining in Moose, Mouse, Moo and Mo
  @Steven Little thanks for your comprehensive explanation. I find myself using chained accessors all the time. This is why I was writing this post, as it is the most common use case for me :) Wikipedia --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_(computer_programming)#Accessor_and_mutator_methods "An accessor...
• Commented on Chaining in Moose, Mouse, Moo and Mo
  so question might be: what is the most common use case - chaining vs. modified setter values this is probably what you mean: $hello->first('foo'); if ($hello->first && $hello->first eq 'FOO') { } vs. if ($hello->first('foo') && $hello->first eq 'FOO') {...
• Commented on Chaining in Moose, Mouse, Moo and Mo
  this might be a valid point, however, you could still use the old api if this is a concern $hello->first('foo'); $hello->second('bar');...
• Posted Chaining in Moose, Mouse, Moo and Mo to Forward Ever

  Recently, I created a new issue on Github for Mo (https://github.com/ingydotnet/mo-pm), suggesting a chained interface:

  package Hello;
  use Mo;
  has 'first';
  has 'second';
  
  my $hello = Hello->new;
  
  # current implementation
  $hello->first('foo');

• Commented on Playing around with Method::Signatures::Simple
  @Random get the same results again and again on my system, signatures between 3% and 15% faster (using the above script) perl 5, version 12, subversion 1 (v5.12.1) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread...
• Commented on Playing around with Method::Signatures::Simple
  seems like "signatures" is even faster than "default" (pure perl), which is quite surprising, any explanations for that?...
• Posted Playing around with Method::Signatures::Simple to Forward Ever

  Method::Signatures::Simple: Nice, very simple, and almost as fast as pure perl, is this module ready for use in modules you depend on?

  package Test;
  
  use Method::Signatures::Simple;
  use Benchmark qw/:all/ ;
  
  
  sub new {
      bless {}, shift;

• Commented on Rethinking smart matching
  http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Smart::Match looks interesting actually, while methods like is_positive is_string_length(positive) might make even more sense, as I would expect string_length to return the length of a string, e.g....

Comment Threads

• doy.tozt.net commented on Mouse/Moose delegation feature

  Reini: Sure, if you're okay with exposing the entire API of the other module through your class, and are okay with having no way at all of dealing with method name conflicts (or even knowing when they happen). This is rarely a good design - multiple inheritance is almost always a mistake. Delegation and/or roles pretty much always leads to a cleaner design.

• ivancho commented on New "dot" feature

  Does this tokenizer patch work with floats?

  I don't think you can use ~ for concat. Some people still use bitwise negation. Also, mistaking concat-assignment and pattern-matching will make for many unpleasant bugs.

• ivancho commented on New "dot" feature

  all in all, it doesn't really seem like a 'feature' - more of an Acme module, or a source filter - with about as much expectation on reliability.

• https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id?id=AItOawlcDTR-3XTXKJMjOd9EuTjv2gGqrZeSUEE commented on Rethinking smart matching

  You say "time to go the way of pseduohashes." Pseudohashes were removed because they slowed down Perl not because they made the spec too hard for a few simple minds to codify.

• Paul "LeoNerd" Evans commented on Asynchronous MySQL Queries in Perl Using DBD::mysql and AnyEvent

  If you're going to use this idea, be aware that it's only a half-baked solution.

  For this to work reliably, the file descriptor itself still needs to be in blocking mode, so that writes and reads to it are not interrupted if too much data is being written, or not enough is available to be read yet. This means that actually writing the query, and reading the response once it has arrived, are both done in a purely blocking way, and it's only the part where you wait for the start of a response to be available that is done asynchronously. You still run the risk of blocking during either …
