  After reading this I went and watched a couple of his talks on YouTube. I agree! Test::More is terrific, though I also have to thank David Golden for this article: http://www.dagolden.com/index.php/1322/five-testmore-features-you-might-not-be-using-yet/...

  Congratulations on your first CPAN module. Nice choice with dzil....
• Commented on Writing API clients in Perl and Python
  Yes, I often wonder why Ruby and Python (both excellent languages) don't have better infrastructure in this area (build tools, automated testing farms, etc). There's actually no technical reason for this, plus there's already an excellent example (CPAN). Or perhaps...
• Commented on A Random Story
  A library should not mess with "use lib", ever. On a rather similar note, lately I've been pissed with PHP web applications which messes around with php.ini settings (usually error_reporting, or memory_limit). Changing application setting is now not as simple...
• Commented on A Random Story
  Nice story. I admit, I usually (about 75% of the time) took the easy route of just fork the module because I need something usable and on CPAN rather quickly. Perhaps I should be more like you....
• Commented on Is there in truth no Perl?
  For "mainstream languages", your best bet would be Perl 6 and, to a lesser degree, Ruby. Also, I thought the "post-modern" tag only applies to Moose instead of the whole Perl language?...

• Commented on Time spent waiting for tests you know will pass is time wasted
  Yup, I always stick -n there. Back when I used cpan I always prefix the install command with 'notest'. I can't afford to waste seconds or minutes every time I install the same modules in several places. It adds up....
• Commented on Can I just say
  Agreed, a large part of it due to Perl itself having good documentation. I've learnt Perl from the manpages more than any other Perl books....

  A sad month indeed. RIP Steve Jobs, RIP dmr, RIP John McCarthy. Most of us don't know you personally, but your work and contributions have impacted us all and will continue to do so. As we say in Indonesia, "Mati...

  @mirod: Thanks for the suggestion. I am more biased towards CSS-selector style, but I will look into XPathEngine. @shawnhcorey: I believe in the "Release early, release often" mantra :) @SawyerX: Hi Sawyer! Unfortunately I myself cannot participate at the moment....

• Commented on Being anti-social

• Commented on Params::Validate::Dependencies and Data::Domain::Dependencies
  Just a suggestion; since Data::Domain and Params::Validate are two different frameworks, perhaps Params::Validate::Dependencies and Data::Domain::Dependencies should be two separate distributions?...
• Commented on Test::Most and timeit()
  FWIW, Benchmark also has timeit(). But perhaps Benchmark should be updated use Time::HiRes, since the later has also been a core module since pre-5.8....

  @Willem (or, more likely, anyone that stumbles across this post later) - the program assumes that the .oauth file exists on the first run. Just create a file with that name in the directory.

• robreed commented on My First Twitter App

  I'm just coming across this now. I'm wondering if there are any problems I should anticipate given that the original post was written a few years ago. Maybe it's a little bit of laziness on my part, and apologize for that but maybe a confirmation at this point would be useful to others who come along in a week, or a year.

  Thanks for the work and taking the time to share. Cheers.

  I actually use WebDrive to do this, if anyone still happens to be looking for a reasonably-priced option. It is a bit less expensive than Expandrive (which I will admit I have never tried). But I've always had success with Webdrive and have been using it for years. www.webdrive.com

• David Cantrell commented on SSH Can Do That? Productivity Tips for Working with Remote Servers

  For persistent connections I find it better to use the %C token in ControlPath. It produces a shorter string, so will help get around some path length restrictions. Also, that really ought not to be a path in a world-readable place like /tmp!

• Smylers commented on SSH Can Do That? Productivity Tips for Working with Remote Servers

  Both good ideas. %C didn't exist when I wrote the above.

  On a laptop only used by me, I was using /tmp/ (it avoids need to know your username to put in the config), but for shared computers it isn't a good idea.
