• Commented on Installing DBD::mysql on Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion"
  Oddly, that was one of the first things I tried, as it was suggested in a blog post I found when Googling the error message. However, it didn't work for me? Not sure why. Will try that again next time....

  I’ve run into this problem every time I’ve set-up a new computer recently, so — in the interest of remembering where to look for the solution next time — here’s a quick “note to future self” post on installing MySQL and…

• Commented on Mojocast #3: Authentication, Helpers, and Plugins
  Consider the reality here: the most watched site on the internet by hackers/developers had a Perl-related post in the top spot. It remained on the front page for 6 hours, which is pretty good for a screencast with no article...

  Hey there Jérôme, @miyagawa did mention that. However, the issue was that I wanted to do some remote debugging and didn't want to commit those changes because they'd be quite useless in the context of a commit history. Thus, what...

  Interesting that you didn't include Perl 6 updates in the changes you'd like to see I'm a bit "meh" about Perl 6, to be perfectly frank. The re-birth of Perl 5 is far more exciting to me: Moose, Plack,...
• Commented on Writing Perl Modules for CPAN

  Okay, I admit it: Bricolage CMS -- the open-source enterprise-class content management system -- takes a few hours to install. The upside? A well-deserved sense of accomplishment.

  G (Gnubila) PaaS is wrote in Perl, also.

  P.D. The G platform is enormous. And now they want to GPL it, but don't know how.
