• Commented on Tool tip: looking at a module's source
  I have a script vipm that looks like this after evolving via much usage: http://tsibley.net/paste/2014-01-14aJ6L3Vad-vipm It uses V.pm to find locally installed modules or cpandoc -m to open up remote ones....

• Joel Berger commented on A lighter nopaste, using Mojolicious

  I was getting lots of errors when shelling out to xclip but in an attempt to file a bug report, I couldn’t replicate. My module now has a very defensive wrapper for clipboard use, so if you have some problems look at the source and see: https://github.com/jberger/Mojolicious-Command-nopaste/blob/master/lib/Mojolicious/Command/nopaste/Service.pm#L77

  Steven:

  if [[ "$EDITOR" == "" ]]; then EDITOR="emacs -nw"; fi
  $EDITOR "`mpath $*`"
  

  ${EDITOR:-emacs -nw} "`mpath $*`"

  And analogously for the other one. Consult Parameter Expansion in man bash.

  Thanks for that!
  The only thing that is wrong with your version is the name. The proper name for this tool is "vimp" :-)

  ps: mine used to used perldoc -l. Now it uses mpath. I suppose that it is worth while re-reading the perl doc once a decade or so.

  Another alternative to perldoc and cpandoc is my mcpandoc tool (which is really just cpandoc with some extra logic). It does what cpandoc does, only it tries to grab the module from a minicpan first. Pretty handy when you have limited network access!
