  Yeah Timm, but then you'd be dealing with XML files and some of us program in Perl, in part, to avoid XML Hell. ;-)...
• Commented on I am creating Perl tutorial site for newbie "Sampuru codo ni yoru perl nyuumon"
  I agree with Steven Haryanto. The Perl core guys have made several statements saying only the last two releases of Perl are officially supported by the community. This means if you are running anything older than 5.16, you're using an...
• Commented on A call to Salt Lake City prospective Perl Mongers
  There is a latent Northern Utah Perl Mongers group. We haven't met in years, but there are a few of us that still keep in touch. I wouldn't be opposed to organizing some in-person meetings again. One thing that may...
• Posted Grant Street Group hiring Perl developers to Doran "Fozz" Barton

  Just a head’s up that my employer—Grant Street Group—is hiring more Perl developers. Most Grant Street Group developers telecommute.

  The company is great, the quality of people I work with are top-notch, and the work is challengi…

• Commented on Convert FLAC to MP3 on OS X for iTunes
  I agree with Ben about the metadata. A simple conversion to WAV and re-encode to MP3 completely ignores the tag data. I don't like iTunes, in general, because so much of my music is in Ogg Vorbis and FLAC format...

  The FFmpeg::Command Perl module is a convenient way to drive the ffmpe…

  yes its XML but useful as an abstraction layer for GUI creation with a GUI program, clean programs and to reuse even a WxPython Gui. GCL is in Part to have something better, more human, for same purpose

• Jakub Narebski commented on Write GUI faster -> GCL

  What about using QML (from Perl)?

• lichtkind commented on Write GUI faster -> GCL

  QML seems to be much mor low level than what I aim for with GCL. I see the possibility to output QML but goal of GCL is not having to define all the details QML is able to and I didn't even saw in my first quick look into QML that it can handle Sizer in the way GCL does. So there might be even information losses from a dynamic to static design when converting.

• James commented on Write GUI faster -> GCL

  If we're talking about XML files for building GUIs, there is also Glade for Gtk+.

  Also Gtk2::Ex::FormFactory or (newer) Gapp, or Tk::QuickTk have similar syntaxes, but I think a less method syntax heavy soluction like Tickit::DSL might be better.

• Jesse Thompson commented on When rand isn't random

  Ack, bit by this in mod_perl 2.0.8! The PerlChildInitHandler workaround seems to solve my problem.
