I've spent more than four years working on Raspberry Pi stuff for Perl, and although it's only garnered a relatively small but thorough interest, it's been a wonderful one to be a part of.

Mozilla has opened up a new IoT Platform, and I'm wondering if…

I've finally found some time to get some wanted and needed changes implemented into berrybrew.

Some changes were for development and testing of the software itself, a couple of features were added due to community requests, and yet more w…

It's been quite a while in the making, but berrybrew version 1.23 now has the ability to "clone" modules from one Perl instance into another.

It's currently a two-step process.

First, berrybrew switch

It's finally here! Our Programming the Raspberry Pi eBook has been released!

You can learn more about it and purchase it here on Leanpub.

As one person mentioned to me "Finally, a release from the shackles of Raspb…

Well, thanks to the very generous donations by my kin Perl Hackers, the fundraiser for the Raspberry Pi eBook that Timm set up and I eventually jumped on board for has reached its initial fundraising…

Well, thanks to all the generous donations, we've reached 71% of our initial target at exactly half-way through the campaign!!

We have decided to set a stretch goal. If we surpass our minimum $2,500 USD and get up to $4,000 USD, we will be adding three new chapters.

Timm will add o…

A few weeks back, it was pointed out to me that Timm Murray was proposing to write an eBook for using Perl on the Raspberry Pi. Due to my extensive work on that platform over the last two-plus years, I had keen interest in the project.

Timm will be writing the bulk of the content using var…

Yesterday, when I published and wrote a blog about my new RPi::StepperMotor distribution, I didn't even think that the…

I live in an extremely remote part of Northern British Columbia, Canada. It is a minimum of an hour to get to the nearest town. We are exceptionally sparsely populated with a vast amount of land right on the second-largest lake in the province.

To that end, we have a wild abundance of wild…

It's been in the works at the lower-end of my priority list, but after having a bit of a bug-closing weekend, thought I'd tackle getting out an initial release of Github::Backup.

The cloud is a great thing, until the sun evaporates i…

In one of my pieces of software, Mock::Sub, I recently found that I wanted to add a new feature, and as always, I wrote a test file for the new work before modifying code. After making the first round of changes, I stumbled upon a previously…

So I'm gearing up to write a "Howto Raspberry Pi with Perl" multi-chapter tutorial, and as I finalize a few last things, I thought I'd put together how all of the software is laid out and is continuously tested.

The RPi::WiringPi distrib…

I've released berrybrew version 1.15.

All of the credit for this update goes to PETERCJ who went far above and beyond with this PR. It's a pleasure to have him contributing to this (or any) project.

The significant change here is …

Today, loosely inspired by this thread over on Perlmonks, I'm going to show how to set up an Arduino (Uno in this test case) with a pseudo-register that allows toggling one if its digital pins on and off, and another pseudo-register to read an…

I've released berrybrew version 1.13.

The most notable change is the addition of the register command, which allows you to copy/move existing Strawberry Perl portable editions from your local/remote system…
