My normal assumption would be that any conference that doesn't tell you the pricing is a scam of one form or another. The Highland Fling site doesn't scream "scam", so maybe not in this case. But then again, I note that Google doesn't seem to have heard of any previous instances of this allegedly-annual conference. -- Aaron Crane From rory at employees.org Thu Mar 1 16:17:02 2007 From: rory at employees.org (Rory Macdonald) Date: Fri, 02 Mar 2007 00:17:02 +0000 Subject: [Edinburgh-pm] "barcamp scotland" In-Reply-To: <20070301121322.GF6244@aaroncrane.co.uk> References: <45E6B152.7060104@yahoo.co.uk> <20070301121322.GF6244@aaroncrane.co.uk> Message-ID: <1172794623.23871.7.camel@fiji> On Thu, 2007-03-01 at 12:13 +0000, Aaron Crane wrote: > Nick Woolley writes: > > I'm not entirely sure what this about, but I was humming and ha-ing > > about going to see for myself.

Well, my first guess would be that the qw is splitting on white space, but that Perl is smart enough to know that "1 2 3" is a complete string, not three items: *"1*, *2*, & *3"* Aha... P 63, Camel book, 3rd edition: "If the opening delimiter is an opening parenthesis, bracket, brace, or angle bracket, the closing delimiter will be the corresponding closing character. (Embedded occurrences of the delimiters must match in pairs.)" I would take that to mean that "1 2 3" is a string, using the delimiter *"* Non? -- Ian Stuart.

I think I understand that *qw* > puts single *'* around space delimited words which is why the double *"* > get included in element 1. Perl's C is actually implemented with C on the inside. You can imagine that the compiler replaces every suitable occurrence of the two letters "q" and "w" with this piece of text: split ' ', q That is: qw/abc def ghi/ # will turn into: split ' ', q/abc def ghi/ Since C< q/abc def ghi/ > is the same as C< 'abc def ghi' >, that means that the result of the split is the same as C< ('abc', 'def', 'ghi') >. The splitting happens at compile time, so there's no run-time penalty for using C rather than any other literal list. But there really is an actual call to C happening inside Perl when you use a C. Imagining that C inserts C<'> where needed isn't going to be productive. Similarly: qw/abc "1 2 3" def/ # will turn into: split ' ', q/abc "1 2 3" def/; So the thing being split is C< q/abc "1 2 3" def/ >; when that gets split on whitespace, the result is the same as this list: ('abc', '"1', '2', '3"', 'def') That should explain why you get the behaviour you do with this bit of your code: my @words1=qw/abc "1 2 3" def/; print join(":", at words1), "\n"; print $words1[1],"\n",$words1[2],"\n"; That is, because the C< qw/.../ > has 4 chunks of whitespace, @words1 has 5 elements. The first C prints all five out, with colons between; the second prints out the second and third elements on lines of their own. (Not the first and second, because array indexing is 0-based.) As for the other chunk of code: my @words2=("abc","1 2 3","def"); print join(":", at words2), "\n"; print $words2[1],"\n",$words2[2],"\n"; The @words2 array is initialized with the three elements of the list you give it, each of which is a string: "abc" # $words2[0] "1 2 3" # $words2[1] "def" # $words2[2] The quotes there are part of the syntax for literal strings, not part of the data in the strings themselves. So printing out all the elements of @words2, joined with a colon, produces abc:1 2 3:def because you're not doing anything that could split $words2[1] on whitespace. -- Aaron Crane From asmith9983 at gmail.com Thu Mar 8 06:18:52 2007 From: asmith9983 at gmail.com (Andrew Smith) Date: Thu, 08 Mar 2007 14:18:52 +0000 Subject: [Edinburgh-pm] qw explanation Message-ID: <45F01B4C.20506@gmail.com> Hi Thanks to Aaron in particular for his very detailed and clear reply.

Early Bird registration ends on 31st March, 23:59. Barbie was smart enough to discover a slight loophole in our pricing: If you submit a talk proposal and do not register as an early bird and have your proposal rejected, you'll loose 20 Euros (which is still better than submitting an proposal, paying the 80 Euros, and then have your proposal accepted and your ticket fee waived). So we clarify our rules: If you submit a talk proposal, you'll also be eligible to the reduced 80 Euros fee after March, 31st. Of course you can submit a talk and pay the regular or even the sponsor tariff :-) Oh, and don't forget that if you submit a talk proposal until March 31st, you're also in for the book-raffle! http://vienna.yapceurope.org From rory at employees.org Wed Mar 28 03:24:14 2007 From: rory at employees.org (Rory Macdonald) Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 11:24:14 +0100 Subject: [Edinburgh-pm] perl job lead Message-ID: <1175077454.14782.5.camel@fiji> Hi, I've been forwarded the following details which may be of interest if you're looking for a perl position.
