• Posted Be the first to author a Perl HTTP/3, QUIC, or QPACK library to Dmitri

  This is a public service announcement.

  By now, everyone has heard that HTTP/3 is coming. Based on Google's QUIC protocol that began as an experiment circa 2012, IETF QUIC and HTTP/3 are likely to become standards this year.

  My emp…

• Posted __END__ to Dmitri

  Browsing the puny (I miss Borders!) Technology section at the local Barnes & Noble today, I did not see a single Perl book. I was hoping that they sold out, but the manager confirmed my fears: they no longer carry Perl books in that store. The reason, he said, is that no Perl book has been…

• Posted Twelve years ago, Perl 6 to Dmitri

  In Software Exorcism (published in 2003), there is a mention of Perl 6:

  The JVM is not the only virtual machine on the market. The Parrot virtual machine, for example, executes bytecode …
• Posted ctags now supports Perl 6 to Dmitri

  We added support for Perl 6 to ctags. Give it a shot: grab a copy from GitHub.

• Commented on Day 2: When uniq is not unique enough (App::nauniq)
  I took this as a bit of a challenge. I think standard Linux tools do the trick just fine: perl -ne 'print qq($. $_)' < input.txt | \ sort -k2 | \ uniq -f1 | \ sort -n | \...

  Sure, it does not solve the non-private method classification and designation problem. It does, however, solve the private method problem. What one needs to observe is that if a method is so private that it cannot be called from any...
• Commented on Method Privacy in Perl
  I don't think there is a problem to begin with. If this thing is so private, is it really a method? Just call it as a function and call it a day: sub _secret_sauce { my $self = shift; ...;...

  Perl, I like you just the way you are. There's been some interesting features and fancy OO modules in the last ten years, but my code is still 5.6.0...

  I can see you are already trying -> http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.modules/2014/09/msg91452.html

• Toby Inkster commented on Event::Lib

  I'd suggest releasing 1.04 to CPAN straight away. As you're not the maintainer, it won't be officially indexed, so people won't be able to install it using:

  cpan Event::Lib
  

  Instead they'll need to install it like:

  cpan CRUX/Event-Lib-1.04.tar.gz
  

  Then, if you become maintainer later you can re-release as 1.05 and it will be indexed. Or if Tassilo von Parseval re-appears, he'll be able to pick up maintenance using your fixed version as a base for his next release.

• xiojason commented on Revitalizing the Perl Power Tools

  This is very exciting to me! Yeeears ago, I was enamored with the idea of a Unix-y OS that booted into a Perl-based shell and that, beyond the kernel, used as few non-Perl moving pieces as would be practical. I imagined PPT being the foundation to build upon, but it was already seemingly abandoned and neglected even back then. Glad to see it's being picked back up!

• jimmy.tty commented on Day 2: When uniq is not unique enough (App::nauniq)

  I think the easiest way to keep first occurrence of each line is one of:

  $ awk '!a[$0]++' input.txt

  or

  $ perl -ne'$h{$_}++||print' input.txt

  To keep the last occurrence is enough use command tac in input.txt before awk or perl inline scripts.

• perlancar commented on Day 2: When uniq is not unique enough (App::nauniq)

  $ perl -ne'$h{$_}++||print' input.txt

  Yup, that is what nauniq essentially does (plus some options).
