Well in my last post I decided to use a hash-ref rather than an array-ref as a way to expand my little MooseX and let the user set have a set of required roles and or a set where only one role is required from a set.
I figured this made the API a little eirer to understand and even read inline.
Now how to implement this?
Well I start first with 'MooseX::Meta::Method::Role::Authorized' do thisI have been working on the project now called Dezi, in one form or another,
since 2005. The actual kick-in-the-pants to make a Product, rather than a Loose Affiliation of Modules, came in an exchange in the comments of a blog post about metacpan.org.
Dezi has gone through several releases in the last few years. Now I'm preparing for a big, new release (0.3.0) that represents (for me) a seismic shift in the way I'm thinking about the product. It has to do with social coding.
Way back when, I started using the Rose family of Perl modules for work. I developed many CPAN modules against the Rose suite. I continue to find the Rose modules well-built, well-documented and very fast. I rarely find a use case that has not already been anticipated.
Friday 5. and Saturday 6. September 2014 the Swiss Perl Community gathers in Olten for the Swiss Perl Workshop 2014.
We are happy to announce brian d foy as keynote speaker.
Watch the announcement Roman made at this year's German Perl Workshop.
For further information, please have a look at the workshop website.
Registration is open. :-)
Continued from the previous post.
From the comments to Alberto's post:
You missed as a point "People don't know that the grants exist" and "People don't think their ideas/plans are appropriate for a grant". TPF should probably advertise them more.
Let's talk about the marketing aspect.
To improve the situation that "People don't know that the grants exist", we did the followings in the past few months:
Well just a sort one tonight as other 
got in the way,
I did talk in my last post yesterday about adding a little enhancement to my first little MooseX and after talking with some of my co-conspirators they though it would be useful that the requirements are as follows
Have at least one the indicated roles
Have all the indicated roles
Have a mix of 'Required' and at least one indicated role
So how to add that in??
Well the it does not look very hard rather than pass just a simple array to the sub why not pass a hash that has the data classified for me. On can do this in a number of ways by adding here are a few'
A hash with the keys as the roles and the values indicating it is required or notIt is my pleasure to report that all five proposals that we selected for the Google Summer of Code on behalf of the Perl Foundation have been accepted for inclusion in the program this year.
The five proposals are:
Backup/additional mentors: Timo Paulssen
Backup/additional mentors:
Proposal: LWP and HTTP modules with SSL support
Backup/additional mentors: Moritz Lenz, Will "Coke" Coleda, Tadeusz Sośnierz
Proposal: Functionalities enhancements and developing of new features for G@H

Proposal: MetaCPAN: Web of Trust and Bug fixes+API Documentation
Hi there!
I have the pleasure of inviting you for the second Polish Perl Workshop which is held on 17th and 18th of May.
The schedule
Here is the schedule, as you can see, very interesting talks are coming!
Are you interested in participating?
Great! Just register, we'll be waiting for you! :)
And we'd have some nice gadgets for you!
Hopefully, see you in Poznan!

Read The Night Watch and tell me that I'm wrong...
(The syntactically-correct Perl script mentioned in the article is indeed syntactically-correct. (Extra points if you can tell me what it does.))
Well in my last post I manged to get rid of numerous bits of the original MooseX::Authorized Methods and get it down to what I find is just what I need the bare-basic check if a class has a role.
Now digging ever deeper into the 'clone' of Authorized Methods I have the 'MooseX::Meta::Method::Role::Authorized::HasRoles' class and I can just delete that one as I moved its functionality into the 'MooseX::Meta::Method::Role::Authorized' class so that leaves me with 'MooseX::Meta::Method::Role::Authorized::Meta::Role' and here that is
mop can't have protected attribute variable. All attribute variable is private in the class.
This week, let's delete 10,000 (decimal) files from CPAN. Thanks to Ricardo, we're almost a tenth of the way there.
We're a month into spring and some of the world just celebrated Earth Day, so it's time for the thousands of PAUSE authors to each delete one old distribution (which is three files in your CPAN author directory). Visit your delete files PAUSE page to "increase the Schwartz". You can even clean up your directory with WWW:::PAUSE::CleanUpHomeDir or with App::PAUSE::cleanup.
It's not quite enough for you as the PAUSE author to delete your files. We want to get the word out, so I'd like you to get one other PAUSE author to do the same. Use your social media networks, peer pressure, begging, or whatever your favorite method is, not because there's any danger of running out of space, but because it's fun to delete things and see them disappear.
The MetaCPAN project would like officially to welcome our summer of 2014 Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and Outreach Program for Women (OPfW) participants. We had a lot of interest this time around and some great applications. Our OPfW participant is Pattawan Kaewduangdee and our GSoC student is Talina Shrotriya. Both Talina and Pattawan have plans to make some much needed improvements to MetaCPAN and we're really looking forward to working with them. I've linked to both of their Github profiles above in case you want to track their progress commit by commit.
I'd also like to thank the Perl Foundation for its support in both of these programs. Lately I've had a chance to glimpse how much work goes on behind the scenes to make these sorts of programs happen and I can tell you it's impressive to see how much volunteer work is involved in something like this.
Now for my next installment I think I will carry on the same pattern as in my last post namely just taking the next file in line and bending it to my will. So lets see what is next.
Now the namespace is 'MooseX::Meta::Method' and the file is 'Authorized.pm'.
Now my code base I have nothing in this name-space because I wanted to avoid a name-space collision as we all know you cannot have two files with the same name (well except in windows if the case is different). So under 'Method' I added another namespace called 'Role' and add my version of 'Authorized.pm'. there,
So in the the original we haveWhile doing some Registry-related things with Perl a couple of weeks ago, I ran into something that took me nearly a day to figure out: Win32::TieRegistry asks for write access to the Registry by default, and under Win7 that requires Administrator privileges. (I kid you not, it took me over a day to figure that out.)
Well, getting what turns out to be called "elevated privileges" from Perl turns out to have been pretty hard - a lot harder than it should have been, for reasons I went into in some detail in a little article about it, but, to cut straight to the chase, I came up with a way to get Perl to restart a script after invoking UAC to gain elevated privileges. It's got some weaknesses that are inherent to the way Windows manages the console, but, well, I present to you Win32::RunAsAdmin. You can use it like this:
I was recently at the 2014 German Perl Workshop and I've written about it at our company blog.
Term::TablePrint (its function print_table) prints a table or the selected columns of the table to STDOUT.
print_table provides a cursor which highlights the row on which it is located. The user can scroll through the table with the different cursor keys.
If the table has more rows than the terminal the table is divided up on as many pages as needed automatically. Also if the terminal is too narrow to print the table the columns are adjusted to the available width automatically.
Well in my last post I managed to de-break my Perl by creating that was for all intensive purposes justa rename and a little rejigged clone of MooseX::Authorized Methods
So onto making this into something that I want.
Well might as well start at the beginning 'MooseX::AuthorizedMethodRoles'

A good three weeks have passed since the 16th German Perl Workshop in Hanover took place, and we are happy to anounce that we are now done processing the videos of the talks. You can find the playlist on YouTube. Don't forget to switch to HD as it took us a long time to upload everything in 1080p.
We would like to thank all the speakers for giving their permission to make these videos public and hope you will enjoy them.
Cheers Perl community - I'm not dead :), no currently I partially study music and delve into instruments, - more precisely I'm building synthesizers with NI Reaktor.
