• Commented on Identifying CPAN distributions you could help out with
  With regards to CGI, the latest release isn't from 2001, but from a month ago. MetaCPAN shows the github repo for it, so contributing to CGI is easy....
• Commented on Thread pool for a boss/worker model
  Another suggestion: beanstalkd and the Perl module Beanstalk::Client. I use this by forking off a number of workers per machine. Then I add more machines as load increases. Having isolated processes that only talk to the beanstalkd server means I...
• Posted Method::Signatures::Simple 1.01 released to CPAN to rhesa

  I’m pleased to announce version 1.01 of Method::Signatures::Simple. It provides a little sugar for writing methods and functions. Chip Salzenberg requested the addition of a function keyword with the same signature…

• Commented on Hash::ConstantHash
  I think the reason you didn't find anything on CPAN is that this is usually called "consistent hashing". There are at least two on CPAN that I know of: Set::ConsistentHash, Algorithm::ConsistentHash::Ketama. Furthermore, libmemcached has a couple of consistent hashing algorithms...

• Commented on Perl101: Encapsulation via Protected Abstract Methods
  Thought I'd whip up an example using MooseX::Declare: https://github.com/rhesa/example-encapsulation It doesn't actually use subclassing. I've chosen to make the abstract Employee a role. The input and output validation is done using types. I'd like to know if my approach makes...
• Commented on Google Talk with Perl
  I have no idea where I found this solution, but it works fine: $conn->Connect( ... ); # as above # change hostname on session my $sid = $conn->{SESSION}{id}; $conn->{STREAM}{SIDS}{$sid}{hostname} = 'gmail.com'; $conn->AuthSend( ... ); # as above It doesn't read...
• Commented on Beauty
  You don't really need the arrow: $actions{$chosen}(@inputs); works just like $AoH[1]{foo} vs. $AoH[1]->{foo}. The arrow does provide a clue that you're calling a subroutine, so I leave the arrow in, while omitting it with nested data structures....

  Great article, so many useful tips for.

  One small suggestion. I wouldn't recommend enabling ForwardAgent in your .ssh/config, since that could be a security risk if you connect to a malicious host. I would suggest that you use ssh -A when you need it, or enable ForwardAgent just for specific hosts.

  enable ForwardAgent just for specific hosts

  Good point. Thanks for suggesting this.

  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

  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.
