• Posted Perl's Pegex Module: a great way to parse files by creating grammars to Vikas Kumar

  We recently came across Pegex and found it to be an interesting module for parsing text data. Instead of using regular expressions directly, the user can write a grammar for the data to be parsed. The data can be automatically converted to a native Perl object or, if the user desires, it's…

• Commented on Event::Lib
  You may want to try AnyEvent (https://metacpan.org/pod/AnyEvent) instead. It is the best and can handle various event engines instead of tying your application to just a single event engine which is not being maintained. AnyEvent supports EV which uses libev...

• Posted Technical Analysis in Finance using PDL - An Introduction. to Vikas Kumar

  In early 2013 I came across PDL and was surprised at its quality and applicability to large data sets which exist in the finance/trading world if you consider intra-day data which is stored tick by tick. You can easily run into 100,000 or more ticks in a few…

  There is a process to taking over modules on PAUSE, see https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=pause_04about#takeover

  Personally i have not yet succeeded with it.

  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.
