Commented on A call to action for CPAN authors
I think I understand that position. But what does it profit us? We're here now, it's not going away. However, we've all benefited from the labor and intellectual capital represented by CPAN. And I'm sure we have people in the...

Posted A call to action for CPAN authors to David Oswald
CPAN authors should look at the smoke tests for their modules to ensure that they're passing on Perl 5.18. The hash randomization change (and a few others) has bitten many a module that may currently be relying on undefined hash behavior. If you haven't checked your modules recently,…

Posted Bytes::Random::Secure -- A no-fuss CSPRNG. to David Oswald
There are a lot of contributions on CPAN that fill one niche or another with respect to pseudo-randomness generation. What is hard to find is a solution that provides cryptographically secure pseudo random number generation, reliable and strong seeding, a light-weight dependency chain, and cross…

Commented on A Simple Mojolicious/DBI Example
This is a nice, simple example. Howoever, I think that any application written as an example of using DBI with Mojolicious should provide the good example of database connection management. Eventually that connection is going to be dropped....

I've been working on a project for a client that is being hosted on dotCloud. And as part of the process I have spent a good deal of time familiarizing myself with this PaaS provider. My experiences thus far have been quite positive. I've found dotCloud to…

A call to action for CPAN authors
I'm not sure what the confusion here is...
AFAIK this change has been spoken about for quite a while, at least a year that I can recall. Beta and RC releases have been out with this change, and if you are a CPAN author you've likely already been getting reports about the broken test cases for months. So I can't really think its fair to jump in at such a late moment and complain about the 'decision making process'.
A slightly backwards incompatible change was made that made already broken code slightly more obviously broken in order to fix a monumental security issue. Thi…

A Simple Mojolicious/DBI Example
Hello!
For Unicode support there are few fixes needed:
Add:
use Encode; plugin Charset => {charset => 'utf-8'};
modify / method to:
any '/' => sub { my $self = shift; my $rows = $self->select; # convert utf-8 octets -> unicode for my $Item ( @{ $rows } ){ map { $_ = decode('utf-8',$_) } @{ $Item }; } $self->stash( rows => $rows ); $self->render('index'); };
Best regards

A Simple Mojolicious/DBI Example
Before I ask a question, let me say thank you for all the examples and explanations (I see your name frequently).
I have gotten a handle on the fundamentals of Mojolicious. The one thing I can not find any information on is, creating a schema from and existing MS SQL database then connecting.
Everything I read is SQLite or any other version beside MS SQL. I’m starting to wonder if it’s similar to Corona SDK in that you create a sql database to store information, then push that data to your server DB.
If anyone else has any experience or information PLEASE…

A Simple Mojolicious/DBI Example
Before I answer, let me just say that commenting on an ancient post is unlikely to get great responses mostly because the visibility is so low. I only happened to notice because it was on the posting comment dashboard which I rarely look at. In the future, come talk with us http://mojolicious.org/perldoc#SUPPORT
To your actual question. I think very few of us use MS SQL, mostly just because most of us are on *nix. I think were I you, I’d look for tools like sqitch etc which are intentionally mu…
