• About:

  Just in case you like to know, I'm currently full-time father of 2 kids, half-time Perl hacker, sort-of DJ, bicyclist, no longer dreadlocked and more than 34 years old but too lazy to update my profile once a year.

  I'm also head of Vienna.pm, no longer maintainer of the CPANTS project, member of the TPF Grants Commitee and the YAPC Europe Foundation.

  I've got stuff on CPAN, held various talks and organise the Austrian Perl Workshops and YAPC::Europe 2007.

  Yes, if that data can be aggregated somehow then those sorts of channels would be perfect for phase 2

• Dean commented on A Perl Community Dashboard

  Initially it would just be the javascript snippet which gives details on what users are visiting.

  Then once it's going, we could hook in to things more to get better data. I mentioned the example of cpan downloads.

• spb commented on A Perl Community Dashboard

  Can you measure use of tags like 'perl' on common blogging and other techie platforms such as dev.to and Stackoverflow?

• Kido Mitsuru commented on How to change charset=ISO-8859-1 to charset=UTF8? Rocky 9.1 server

  Thank you, domm, I can manage to change $cgi->header(=>'utf-8'). It worked.

  By the way, I have a tiny question related with character encoding. To clearly present my question, I want to post screenshot (png or jpg) here. May I use graphics file attachment here?

• Kido Mitsuru commented on How to change charset=ISO-8859-1 to charset=UTF8? Rocky 9.1 server

  Sorry there is a typo.
  $cgi->header(-character=>'utf-8'). It worked.
