Available for Perl Work

Hi All,

I am available for Perl work. I can work remotely or locally in the
Boston area. Also I can be on-site a reasonable amount of time depending
on travel logistics.

You can see my design and coding skills on CPAN (id: URI).

Damian Conway said this about me in his acknowledgements in Perl Best
Practices: "To Uri Guttman, for seeing things no one else did, in ways
no one else could."

If your Perl team is large enough (say > 5 or so), one of the best ways
to use my services is supporting your team with code review, optimization,…

RIP Sherm Pendley

Sherm Pendley passed away this last weekend. He was a regular on usenet
and also the author of CamelBones, a Perl/Objective-C bridge. I got to
know him well over the several months as I placed him at his current
job. He was very well respected and liked at that company and all his
colleagues and I are all very shocked and saddened at this news. I
haven't heard an official cause of death but he was ill last week and
something must have gotten very bad. He will be missed.

edit_file and edit_file_lines


to localize $^I and @ARGV to do that? Now you can do that with a simple
call to edit_file or edit_file_lines in the new .018 release of
File::Slurp. Now you can modify a file in place with a simple call.

edit_file reads a whole file into $_, calls its code block argument and
writes $_ back out the file. These groups are equivalent operations:

perl -0777 -pi -e 's/foo/bar/g' filename

use File::Slurp qw( edit_file ) ;

edit_file { s/foo/bar/g } 'filename' ;/var/www/users/uri/index.html
