• Commented on What's new in Perl v5.40?
  I don't think it's clear to keep saying `OO`, when Ohs and Zeros look the same in many fonts. Some folk won't know what you mean by `Core OO` straight away. Better to define `OO` as "Object Oriented" somewhere before...

• Commented on I learn something about tell(), then abuse it.
  The link to tell just points to http://perldoc.perl.org/? I went looking for Perl Power Tools documentation, and couldn't find any (at least, not without downloading everything, which seems a shame). Did I miss it?...

• Commented on Extracting values from a list of (key, value) pairs
  Nice work. pairkey is 4x faster than splice. Why do the keys get assigned into a variable called @v? That seems contrary, when it should be @k. (Also, just write out @values or @keys. I don't know how many times...

• Commented on On the relative readability of Perl and Python
  Thanks Ovid and Steffen Mueller for the anonymous sub tips. Some of these came up on http://www.perlmonks.org/?nodeid=1048128, with the goal of generating stack traces to report exceptions, where many callbacks are created on the fly. The local *ANON trick doesn’t...
• Commented on On the relative readability of Perl and Python
  Working in a mixed Perl/Python shop, I find a number of things that don’t work well in both languages. One of the odder Python issues comes from our style guideline of lines less than 80 columns long. Nested indents, even...

  Yes, SO interface is better.
  How about to Port mongers Q/A to SO?

  Sure, feel free. 😊

• Ben Bullock commented on Misusing newSVpv

  Thank you for the kind words. I believe that the newSV() method which I've pointed to is the correct resolution for this particular problem.
  

• renatocron commented on Cloud Provider Performance Comparison - Perl & more

  First, thank you for your opinions and analyses.
  

  As it takes price in consideration, it would be nice to see benchmark of OVH public cloud servers (not to be confused with VPS offers, they have some simple VPS similar to DreamHost, but they also have the public-cloud based on openstack, the backend for their K8S offer).
  Vultr also has some good price/performance, but recently UpCloud with their AMD instances are beating then. Each month I r…

• Dimitrios Kechagias commented on Cloud Provider Performance Comparison - Perl & more

  Thanks for the comment. The reason I included just Linode and Digital Ocean from the "smaller" providers, is because they have good reputation (Linode's been around for almost 20 years now) and I personally have good experience with them. I have heard several horror stories about Vultr (downtime etc), so I've never felt like giving them a go. I should probably have included OVH though, maybe I'll do a second part. Don't know much about UpCloud.
