Today in the Moose-Pen I am going to solve a little problem with Moose.

As part of a demo/POC I hacked together a complete Perl binding for the Docker Engine remote API v1.24 (Docker Engine 1.12).

We are sadly not using Perl where I currently work so after demoing some stuff we will move forward using other tech.

There exist some modules on CPAN already but they are not complete and did not work with the new features in Docker.

Perhaps if someone wants to continue the work they can fork and/or merge with the other modules to create a definitive Perl binding for Docker.

Here is the project

* No support will be given
* Rewrite needed
* Look at the Golang binding for ideas for the next steps, eg. types instead of handling everything as JSON

Do you need "Fast Perl"? Look at "Static Perl" project at once.

Static Perl - Fast calculation, parallel process, GC, static typing, VM with perlish syntax without XS

Recently I've started a new interview series published both as videos and as a Podcast.
The first 3 episodes were with Perl developer: Jason Crome on Dancer 2, Sawyer X on Perl 5 Porters, and Joel Berger on Mojolicious

The 4th episode is Tom Hudson on gron that helps making JSON structure grepable.

Well there still lots of life in the a little Moose-Pen today seem I still have plenty of poop to cleanup.

Well in my last post I cleaned up a little moose poop and today I am going to take a major step forward and clean up allot more. So far most if not all the poop I have been generation comes from my efforts of either

1. Having required attributes
2. Coercion into classes or
3. Type errors

 use MooseX::Constructor::AllErrors

I have uploaded videos from the first day of the Alpine Perl Workshop (Innsbruck, 2016): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLsVz9vprzs6U6PmcI4tnqA. The second day of videos should be done uploading by the same time tomorrow. Some observations from recording/processing/uploading the videos:

Hey everyone,

Following is the p5p (Perl 5 Porters) mailing list summary for the past week. Enjoy!

Dancer2 0.203001 is on its way to a CPAN mirror near you. It is essentially a maintenance release, with only two minor changes:

• Class::Load was replaced by Module::Runtime. This will result in a slightly faster execution time for your Dancer2 apps. This had been applied previously, but was erroneously undone by another commit. Thanks to veryrusty for noticing and fixing!

• The minimum version of List::Util needed by Dancer2 was omitted from 0.203000, causing some headaches for users of older versions of List::Util.

The full changelog follows:

Well sometimes the Moose-pen is empty and sometimes it is filled up today I am sort of up in the air what state I am in today.

One thing we have seen in many of my posts is great lines of I like to call moose poop or the lines upon lines of error reports. Many times they even confuse me and send me running down all sorts of Moose holes.

Simplest class builder "Object::Simple" 3.17 released! I rewrite document in this release. I describe the benefits at first.

Simplest class builder, Mojo::Base porting, fast and less memory

• Simplest class builder. All you learn is only has function!
• Mojo::Base porting. Do you like Mojolicious? If so, this is good choices!
• Fast and less memory. Fast new and accessor method. Memory saving implementation.

Check latest Object::Simple document!

Cluj was my ninth YAPC and it was different for me in many ways. Please read this especially if you never been to a YAPC.

After a long incubation period of intermittent hacking, I am pleased to present Perl hackers worldwide with the option to quickly and easily print to their console screen.

Ok.. why?

From the module's README:

Terminal::Print intends to provide the essential underpinnings of command-line printing, to be the fuel for the fire, so to speak, for libraries which might aim towards 'command- line user interfaces' (CUI), asynchronous monitoring, rogue-like adventures, screensavers, video art, etc.

Let's first point out that this module is a serious attempt at solving a relatively frivolous problem. There are plenty of existing text display engines (hello, ncurses!), game engines, and other Perl modules that already solve many command line display (CLD) issues.

However: ncurses is not re-entrant. Furthermore, its UTF-8 support is (understandably) bolted on. Looking around at other C library options, it came to dawn on me: why was I involving "native" options, anyway?

Well not much moose in the moose-pen again. Like I said in my last post I am getting nearer to that programmer nightmare (at least for me) of documenting and packaging up my project to get it ready for CPAN. But there is still a little Moose left.

One of the neat things about test driven development is all the bugs one find and squish long before you code ever gets out there, today is a good example.

I decided to add in a few more features to my Accessor, (yes I know scope creep) namely I want it to be hard to do a update or delete without having either a static or dynamic condition set.

With the latest stable release of perl, v5.24.0, you could easily get trapped into using a problematic combination of math modules. Here is how, and what you should do to avoid trouble.

I'm back from Romania and had a lovely time at YAPC::EU, er, The European Perl Conference, er, or this:

I unveiled that suggested logo at my opening keynote only to discover that many Perl devs had no idea what I was talking about. My sense of humor is shouting "get off my lawn."

However, I gave a lightning talk announcing Veure, including the game's name and blog! Veure is officially known as Tau Station and sign up for our newsletter to find out more, including keeping up with the alpha. Or just read our blog to see what's happening with it (but you really want to sign up for that newsletter).

Many thanks to Evozon for hosting a great conference!

I would like to announce the release of version 0.2.1 of CamelHarness.js - a small JavaScript library that can start Perl5 scripts from applications based on Electron or NW.js. I will be happy if someone finds it useful!

Well after 1001000 days and getting close to the programming phase of my Accessor.pm I think I might as well do a quick state of the Moose-pen post

Well for a quick recap

Posts 1~14

I gave the background story of Accessor, some of the planning and some API/design related posts

Posts 15~31

I started on some test driven prototyping and proof of concept coding. This gave me a firm idea of how I was going to work things out when I started the real programming.

Posts 32~45

I started to play in the Moose-pen creating a real name-space ans sticking withing tanking my PoC code and creating the first run at Accessor.pm and did some planning and introduced a few neat Moose concepts.

Hey everyone,

Following is the p5p (Perl 5 Porters) mailing list summary for the past week. Enjoy!

We turned up in Cluj via Wizz Air to probably one of the best pre YAPC parties ever located on three levels on the rooftop of Evozon‎’s plush city centre offices. We were well supplied with excellent wine, snacks and the local Ursus beer and had many interesting conversations with old friends.

My impressions on this year conference are here!
