After a very long hiatus due to the triplet of work-vacation-work, we return to Part 3 of my AI assisted coding of a Perl interface to a foreign library.
However, I would like to share the take home points from my exercise:
I had created the library in C as part of a bigger project to create a multithreaded and hardware (GPU, and soon TPU) accelerated library to manipulate fingerprints for text. At some point, I figured one can have fun vibe coding the interface to Perl. The first post in the series just dropped ; it provides the background, rationale, the prompt and the first output by Claude 3.7. Subsequent posts will critique the solution and document subsequent interactions…
I like to use Perl for material other than text.
