  mop::minus looks like more like Moo/Mouse/Mo than MOP. MOP means « Meta Object Protocol ». I see nothing like that in mop::minus. mop::minus seems to be just some cool syntax for Object::Tiny. This is just deceptively simple....

• Commented on A most amusing annoyance
  Using Perl one-liners from a Unix shell requires that you master two programming languages: Perl and your shell. Quoting is a basic feature of shell programming that you must understand if you want to avoid surprises with one-liners. If your...

  Note also that @_ is alias to arguments given to the sub which means that it gives you not only read access to the argument, but also write access if it is a variable. my $a = 2; say $a;...

  Also, don't forget to add a link to your Github account from your MetaCPAN profile. This will help potential contributors to find your repositories even if you forgot to put the link in META.yml/json....
• Commented on Don't be afraid to rename your module / dist
  @Ahmad Just remember that namespaces are quite an old-school way to provide search hints. Searching the Internet has long ago moved away from guessing domain names, and we now rely on search engines that analyze content and, in particular, use...
• Commented on Give your module a good SEE ALSO section
  Now that we have META.yml/META.json the DEPENDENCIES section is quite irrelevant as it is not as powerful as the raw data. Sites like MetaCPAN can process META files to render them for humans, even for modules that don't have the...
• Commented on Broken LWP in the wild
  LWP 6.04 requires Mozilla::CA version 20110101. However an obsolete version of Mozilla::CA may be a security issue (depending on the web sites targeted). It should at least recommend the latest version of Mozilla::CA at the time of release. But anyway,...

• Commented on search.cpan.org
  A few reasons why I'm a MetaCPAN promoter: search.cpan.org still has the look of 1997 web sites. Just this can let people think that Perl is stuck there. you can submit issues about MetaCPAN, they are public, and you get...

• Commented on Immutability with Moo(se)
  @mascip: DateTime being mutable is a bad design. Just don't use mutable classes for the properties of the class you want to be immutable. Yes, I know this is good in theory, but hard is practice due to the DateTime...

Comment Threads

• Luca Ferrari commented on mop minus proposal

  While I appreciate the effort, I cannot understand why another OOP support when there already a lot, and with a very good implementation (Moose being probably the most adopted).

• https://me.yahoo.com/a/FQMi.N5i0IzdnUgI0Ite4hPzi5Teukf.wOGAiQ--#4e81f commented on A NuoDB Driver for Perl

  Thanks for releasing this - any chance you could put it on CPAN as well - that would make using it much easier (and you also get it tested on lots of plaforms and other goodies).

• Peter Martini commented on Prototypes and the call checker

  Zefram pointed me to http://search.cpan.org/dist/Debug-Show/lib/Debug/Show.pm, which is doing what I had in mind. Thanks!

• Wendy commented on Marketing for Perl is easy because Perl is awesome

  Can I add text to my own blog?

• Wendy commented on Marketing for Perl is easy because Perl is awesome
