Promote Perl 6 by saying "Perl 5"
Perl 6 is hurtling toward completion. The specification is nearly complete, and Rakudo now passes 68% of the specification tests. Applications like November are being written in Perl 6. Perl 6 is no vaporware, and the day when Perl 6 is ready for widespread use is coming quickly. Perl 6 has been in development since 2000, and in that time many...

Movable Type fork Melody is an opportunity to harness CPAN
Reposted from a blog entry by Mark Stosberg Today Melody was announced as a fork of the Perl-based Movable Type platform. I helped the Melody project as it prepared to launch, in part advising on how to best to relate to the Perl community.

How to announce an event, or, awesome is not always self-evident
Which of these two events sounds more interesting? Joe Celko is going to be giving talks at YAPC this summer. Or, in an announcement entitled "Learn Mad Database Skillz at YAPC::NA 2009" It really, truly pays to learn the ins and outs of SQL, just like any other language. And if youâre a Perl hacker, you have a great opportunity to do just...

Free Software Foundation helps no one with name-calling
Discourse on the Net is tough enough without lowering yourself to pointless name calling. The Free Software Foundation ought to know better, especially when their work is so important. Today John Sullivan posted a story about problems the FSF has with Amazon's release of the Kindle source code yesterday. Their three main issues are: Not all the...

PHP's overly compliant subclassing
Please shake your head in sympathy at this bit of terrible design in PHP's class handling. The code below is a simplified sample version of some real code I was working on last night. $ cat foo.php <?php error_reporting( E_ALL ^ E_STRICT ); class Dog { protected $_bark; function __construct() { $this->_bark = 'Generic woof'; } function...

Every day, we contribute to shaping our community
Masak's recent post on use.perl.org, called "How can we scale kindness?", boils down my frustration with anti-helpful behaviors like geek pissing contests, telling newbies "RTFM" and calling people "fuckhead". Every day, we contribute to shaping our community. By extension, I think it's fair to say that allowing anti-helpfulness to stand...

Attention all Vim-using Perl programmers
If you use Vim for your Perl programming, here's a new project and mailing list you might be interested in. A few months ago I became the maintainer of the syntax/perl.vim file that comes with vim. I started a github project for it for maintaining the perl.vim file, and for starting to get a perl6.vim file together that could be put into the...

Authenticating Against Active Directory with Catalyst
One of the more entertaining part of working in e-commerce is dealing with PCI compliance. I say interesting because the standard is a mix of good things and inane things. Regardless, it’s required. One of the sections deals with authentication and authorization. We’ve traditionally done that sort of business internally, but [...]

Reading Rainbow: Programming Edition
I’ve been doing a lot of reading for the last 6 months. It all started when I switched jobs last year. I was working with a lot of smart guys who knew (and still know) significantly more than I do about practically everything with regards to programming languages. My first adventure was with Paul [...]
