Comment Threads

• Offer Kaye commented on Avoid a Common Software Bug By Using Perl 6

  Very nice article, thank you very much Ovid!

  One question though, about this code:

  die unless $_[0] =~ /^\d+$/;

  One obvious bug is that it will accept octal numbers such as "040". Will the Perl6 "Int" type prevent such numbers?

• Buddy Burden commented on Breaking the Fourth YAPC

  There's actually been a good amount of work here - See https://github.com/niner/Inline-Perl5/

  This actually looks very promising. Although it's a bit worrisome that I need a specially built perl ... that seems to imply that Perl6 will be shelling out to Perl5 via a system call or somesuch. Which may have performance implications.

  But, nonetheless, this is something I wish the Perl 6 folks at YAPC would have been more vocal about. I think it would go a long way towards allaying …

• Ken Youens-Clark commented on FASTQ read-pairer

  Sorry, yes, here is the code and sample data:

  https://github.com/kyclark/metagenomics-book/tree/master/perl6/fastq-read-pair

  I should also have elaborated on the problem. Usually the R1/R2 files have each read's forward/reverse (respectively) mate in the same order/location. That is, in the raw FASTQ files, read 1 will be the first in R1/R2, then read 2, always in ascending order. But after QC, R1 might start on read #10 because the first nine forward reads were bad while R2 might …

• Brad Gilbert commented on Backticks and tests in Perl 6

  You can (and should) remove .slurp and .slurp-rest

  The IO object has a .split method that doesn't have to read the entire contents of the file before splitting the file up.
