Renormalist

I just rediscovered an old project of myself when I was learning Perl/XS and wanted to drop a hint to it here.

Finally I could attend the Perl Toolchain Summit again.

As often in the last years I worked on the Benchmark::Perl::Formance toolchain.

Part 3 - Net::SSH::Perl

I am co-maintaining Net::SSH::Perl, though usually I just apply patches that come up on RT or github.

Part 2 - CPAN testing on L4 Linux

To extend the diversity of platforms on CPAN TESTERS, I brought a laptop with me which runs on the L4Re micro-kernel in order to set up CPAN::Reporter tools on it. T…
