• Posted Available for Perl Work to Uri

  Hi All,

  I am available for Perl work. I can work remotely or locally in the
  Boston area. Also I can be on-site a reasonable amount of time depending
  on travel logistics.

  You can see my design and coding skills on CPAN (id: URI).

• Commented on Should Perl have a `chomped` function?
  use File::Slurp my @lines = read_file $file, chomp => 1 ; and that isn’t just a convenience function. it is also faster than using <>. if you are reading line by line, chomp isn’t an issue anyhow. rchomp is not...

  Text::Ased ... not quite as simple, but it lets you do replacements only on lines that satisfy a condition

• Nova Patch commented on Should Perl have a `chomped` function?

  Actually, Perl 6 simply covers this with its own chomp. In Perl 6, neither chop nor chomp modify their arguments in-place. This is the case with most (all?) core functions/methods. You could call chomp($line) or $line.chomp to return the chomped value, or $line.=chomp to chomp in-place. The method-call assignment operator .= is a cool addition to the various assignment operators like +=. The spec used to include p5chop and p5chomp but those were later…

• Joel Berger commented on Should Perl have a `chomped` function?

  @Aristotle FTW! chomped is descriptive and possibly not highly used.

  @{Uri,Nick}, the truth is this is just daydreaming; I don’t imagine that I can actually get something like this into the (p5) core. Also as I think about it, I wouldn’t even know how, I’m having a hard enough time figuring out where chomp comes from!

  (as an aside, Tie::Select could be easily added to the core, possibly renamed SelectSaver::Tie; its only 4 lines and its bulletproof! Wouldn’t you rather rely on a stack rather than destructors?)

• Joel Berger commented on Should Perl have a `chomped` function?

  daxim points out (on the SO post) that Text::Chomped exists. I haven’t looked at the code, but if its any good, I would support it going core.

• Joel Berger commented on Should Perl have a `chomped` function?

  Ok not that exact implementation, it should be able to handle an array (rather than an arrayref). Sorry about the noise.
