Subject: [Chicago-talk] Creating dynamic, callable subroutines
Message-ID: <aabc51b60808021331m685e3059wc0313f5ee9e5bb7f@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I have a list of subroutines of the form:

sub Order {
   return __PACKAGE__.'::com::ib::client::Order';
}

sub ScannerSubscription {
   return __PACKAGE__.'::com::ib::client::ScannerSubscription';
}

sub TickType {
   return __PACKAGE__.'::com::ib::client::TickType';
}

But the list of subroutines changes with each version of a vendor supplied API.

I can create a list of names of subroutines dynamically.  I can create
the code above dynamically (they all look the same).

How can I create the actual subroutines dynamically, so that they can
be called from the outside using the normal:

TickType();

form?

Thanks
Jay

Don't bother: if the only thing you are doing is calling
the other subs then just import them into your local
calling space:

     use Symbol qw( qualify_to_ref );

     # list of things you want in your local space
     # by package and source sub; you can also supply
     # an optional local name instead of importing the
     # name as-is.

     my %importz =
     (

         'Foo::com::ib::client' =>
         {
             Order               => '',
             TickType            => ''

             # if they called this something else
             # in the last rev you can rename the
             # local version.

             ScannerSubscription => 'ScanSub',
         },
     )

     # do the deed:
     # walk down the packages, finding lists of subs to import.
     # for each import, make a ref in this package with the
     # dest name ( $src || $dst ), then assign it a coderef
     # from the source package.

     sub import_subs
     {
         while( my ( $package, $subz ) = each %importz )
         {
             while( my ( $src, $dst ) = each %$subz )
             {
                 my $ref = qualify_to_ref ( $dst || $src ), __PACKAGE__;

                 *$ref   = $package->can( $src )
                 or die "Oops: $package lacks '$src' to export!";
             }
         }
     }

     # viola! at this point calling Order in the local
     # package will dispatch into the other package's
     # 'Order' call.

Hey Everyone,

   BARcamp Chicago 2008 is coming up in a week and a half!  The weekend 
of Aug 15th at 1240 W. Harrison St (UIC area).  Wow, time flies.

   Its being held at the Innovation Center at UIC which is this cool new 
space for tech commercialization projects.  I posted a couple of 
snapshots on the wiki:

http://barcampchicago.com/WherePage

   Sean Johnson is working on the Food and I know its going to be 
impossible, but we'd like to try and estimate the amount.  Can people 
either reply to me or add their name to the wiki?

http://barcampchicago.com/AttendeeList
-or-
barcamp-subscribe at corp.hostedlabs.com

   One of the really cool events happening at BARcamp this year is an 
Erlang workshop being given by Martin Logan and Erlang User group team. 
  If you dont know about Erlang, its a very cool Functional language 
thats good for distributed computing.  Martin and others at Orbitz are 
putting some Erlang code into production and they have an open source 
project that they are putting out I believe.

   As with every year, we have lots of cool talks lined up and I expect 
a lot more to develop over the weekend. The Chicago LUG is donating a 
keg, like the previous years and the organizers have been working like 
crazy.  Its coming together despite my being a disorganized slacker ;-)

   CALL FOR HELP:

1) RSVP in some form or fashion, (call me, email, join the list, add to 
wiki).  Need to size catering.

2) Get your company to participate, sposnor, bring schwag, give a talk 
about technology you are using or building.

3) Give a talk.

4) Spread the word.


Also note:

Social Dev Camp is coming up this weekend, at IIT.  Check it out:

Thats it for now.  Looking forward to seeing you all next weekend!

Need to diff() 2 arrays, anyone used Array::Diff? Docs say it returns
added and delted arrays but the example given shows a scalar.

    my @old = ( 'a', 'b', 'c' );
    my @new = ( 'b', 'c', 'd' );
    
    my $diff = Array::Diff->diff( \@old, \@new );
    
    $diff->count   # 2
    $diff->added   # [ 'd' ];
    $diff->deleted # [ 'a' ];

So, would the added be @added = $diff::added? Am I missing something
obvious?

In my usage here, @old has 480 elements, @new has 489.

Returns an arrayref:

       DB<1> @a = ( 1 .. 10 )

       DB<2> @b = ( 2 .. 11 )

       DB<3> x $c = Array::Diff->diff( \@a, \@b )
       0  Array::Diff=HASH(0xd97cc0)
          'added' => ARRAY(0xd97ca0)
             0  11
          'count' => 2
          'deleted' => ARRAY(0xd51910)
             0  1

       DB<4> x $c->added
       0  ARRAY(0xd97ca0)
          0  11

Large-ish arrays or differences could turn this
into something of a memory hog.

Hash slice with delete would give you a quick
list of the excess in one list over the other
if that's all you need:

       sub added
       {
             my ( $a, $b ) = @_;

             my %tmp     = ();

             @tmp{ @$b } = ();

             delete @tmp{ @$a };

             wantarray ? keys %tmp : [ keys %tmp ]
       }

They probably will grow large over time, good point.

Yep, that's all I need. What's in new that's not in old.

Joel - we have it out on jobs.perl.org --- these are not your average
bear roles.  Sorry to be a bother but we are trying to hit everywhere
and everyone.  It's a challenge too - probably on 2 out of 25 make it
through the written exam, phone interview, program test and interview
gauntlet,  Once again sorry for the bother.  These are Wall St jobs in
Atlanta - it has to match someone.

If someone plans on driving, I wouldn't mind taking a spot :-)  I kind of
wish that the Hackathon at YAPC::NA was more visible, I heard it was in the

There's a bar camp in Chicago this weekend, maybe next year we can
plan a hack-a-thon at it too.  Piggy-backing on these open events
seems like a really good way to attract new people to Perl.

BARcamp Chicago 2008 is coming up tomorrow!  The weekend
of Aug 15th at 1240 W. Harrison St (UIC area).

  It's being held at the Innovation Center at UIC which is this cool new
space for tech commercialization projects.  I posted a couple of
snapshots on the wiki:

http://barcampchicago.com/WherePage

   Sean Johnson is working on the Food and I know its going to be
impossible, but we'd like to try and estimate the amount.  Can people
either reply to me or add their name to the wiki?

http://barcampchicago.com/AttendeeList
-or-
barcamp-subscribe at corp.hostedlabs.com

   One of the really cool events happening at BARcamp this year is an
Erlang workshop being given by Martin Logan and Erlang User group team.
  If you dont know about Erlang, its a very cool Functional language
thats good for distributed computing.  Martin and others at Orbitz are
putting some Erlang code into production and they have an open source
project that they are putting out I believe.

   As with every year, we have lots of cool talks lined up and I expect
a lot more to develop over the weekend. The Chicago LUG is donating a
keg, like the previous years and the organizers have been working like
crazy.  Its coming together despite my being a disorganized slacker ;-)

   CALL FOR HELP:

1) RSVP in some form or fashion, (call me, email, join the list, add to
wiki).  Need to size catering.

2) Get your company to participate, sposnor, bring schwag, give a talk
about technology you are using or building.

3) Give a talk.

4) Spread the word.


Also note:

Social Dev Camp is coming up this weekend, at IIT.  Check it out:
http://barcamp.pbwiki.com/SocialDevCampChicago


Thats it for now.  Looking forward to seeing you all next weekend!

Hey Everyone!

   We are starting set-up this evening and BARcamp officially starts 
11:00 Saturday morning!  Some photos of the venue have been uploaded, 
kegs are on the way, food is being ordered.  Crazy, but its all coming 
together.

   The Erlang Workshop starts at noon and kicks off a weekend long 
Erlang code competition.

   There are, as always, some great talks planned and even more great 
talks that aren't planned ;-)

   Thanks to the organizers and sponsors for making this happen!

   Look forward to seeing you all this weekend.

The barcampchicago.com website says that this starts tomorrow, Aug. 16th and
the Social Dev Camp was last week.   I know, I was there.

BARcamp Chicago 2008 is coming up tomorrow!  The weekend 
of Aug 15th at 1240 W. Harrison St (UIC area).  

 It's being held at the Innovation Center at UIC which is this cool new 
space for tech commercialization projects.  I posted a couple of 
snapshots on the wiki:

http://barcampchicago.com/WherePage

  Sean Johnson is working on the Food and I know its going to be 
impossible, but we'd like to try and estimate the amount.  Can people 
either reply to me or add their name to the wiki?

-or-
barcamp-subscribe at corp.hostedlabs.com

  One of the really cool events happening at BARcamp this year is an 
Erlang workshop being given by Martin Logan and Erlang User group team. 
 If you dont know about Erlang, its a very cool Functional language 
thats good for distributed computing.  Martin and others at Orbitz are 
putting some Erlang code into production and they have an open source 
project that they are putting out I believe.

  As with every year, we have lots of cool talks lined up and I expect 
a lot more to develop over the weekend. The Chicago LUG is donating a 
keg, like the previous years and the organizers have been working like 
crazy.  Its coming together despite my being a disorganized slacker ;-)

  CALL FOR HELP:

1) RSVP in some form or fashion, (call me, email, join the list, add to 
wiki).  Need to size catering.

2) Get your company to participate, sposnor, bring schwag, give a talk 
about technology you are using or building.

3) Give a talk.

4) Spread the word.


Also note:

Social Dev Camp is coming up this weekend, at IIT.  Check it out: 
http://barcamp.pbwiki.com/SocialDevCampChicago


Thats it for now.  Looking forward to seeing you all next weekend!

They are two different events..

Do people think SocialDevCamp == BARcamp Chicago ??

nm.. I see the confusion, someone forwarded an older email (from two 
weeks ago) where I was talking about BARcamp and also trying to help get 
word out about SocialDevCamp..

I have to check with the boss, my wife, but I should be able to make it.  Not sure how having the hackathon and BarCamp at the same place/time would go as I want to see it all. :)

There's a Chicago hackathon in October*!

* Except really, it'll be at BarCamp Milwaukee.

But this would be a great place to have a hackathon, and if anyone's

others to come, too.

Got the go ahead from the boss.  I'm going up and back each day from Chicago's south side (Flossmoor/Homewood area).  If anyone would like to go along, let me know.
