From gabor at szabgab.com Mon Oct 14 05:58:42 2013 From: gabor at szabgab.com (Gabor Szabo) Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2013 05:58:42 -0700 Subject: [Kochi-pm] [Perlweekly] #116 - Perl TV launched Message-ID: <20131014125842.512EB76E350@s6.hostlocal.com> Perl Weekly http://perlweekly.com/ You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer. http://perlweekly.com/archive/116.html Hi, I am sorry for sending this edition so late, I was busy trying to launch the new Perl TV ("http://perltv.org/") site. There are plenty of interviews, talks and presentation posted on YouTube and other video sites, but very few people know about those. I think it will be nice to share these videos. So the Perl TV site will post a new video every day. You can follow it via its Atom feed. In other news, it turns out the Portuguese Perl Workshop was rescheduled to October 24-25. Please make sure you arrive on the right days :). Enjoy the articles! Announcements Movable Type Hackathon 2013 http://ptix.co/19zrZK1 After 6 long years of waiting, the Movable Type ("http://bit.ly/19zrZdd") Hackathon is finally returning to New York City on October 17th, 2013! There are still a few more places left. -------------- Austrian Perl Workshop 2013 - Call for everything http://bit.ly/18dhPQY Which is less than 3 weeks away! -------------- ============= Articles Google GeoChart, JSON and Perl http://bit.ly/18dhQ7f Although the example published by Johnny Morano uses CGI, it can help you get started with the creation of a chart showing the earth and displaying the countries with different colors. -------------- Oozing Caribou http://bit.ly/18dhQ7j Oozie is a workflow scheduler for Hadoop that defines its workflows using a horrific XML dialect. Yanick Champoux took his Template::Caribou for a ride to make the XML behave. -------------- ============= Testing Underappreciated Perl Code: TAP's YAMLish Syntax http://bit.ly/19zrZtC Parsing the error messages from a test script might be difficult as those include free text and were designed to be read by humans, not by computers. OTOH if you can get a well formatted version of this output then it will be possible and even easy to write a parser for them. This is what came out of the Wumpus Cave of Timm Murray. -------------- Software Test Podcast http://bit.ly/19zs2p6 I did not have time to listen to the actual podcast yet, but what David Cantrell writes about the distinction between Quality Control and Quality Assurance is interesting. -------------- CPAN Testers Summary - Oct 2013 - What's THIS For...! http://bit.ly/19zs00y There was a big server upgrade that went well with only a few hiccups. Of course the server is not free. You can read how it is being financed. -------------- ============= Code Perl 5 Internals - Part Four http://bit.ly/19zs2pm In this part of the series, Rob Hoelz covers the optree, which is quite similar to what others might call an abstract syntax tree (AST). comments ("http://bit.ly/18dhQ7s") -------------- Perl::Critic for the Camel http://bit.ly/19zs00J Tom Christiansen started discussing the idea to create a set of Perl::Critic rules that will cover the recommendations of the Camel book (aka. Programming Perl). In case you don't know, Perl::Critic is the implementation of the recommendation from the book 'Perl Best Practices' written by Damian Conway. It is extendable and can server as a great tool to make sure your code follows recommended practices. -------------- ============= Debian & Ubuntu Released Perl ptkdb debugger to experimental http://bit.ly/18dhQnN Thanks to Dominique Dumont, Debian and thus Ubuntu are going to get a new version of the Devel::ptkdb debugger. -------------- Lintian 2.5.19 http://bit.ly/18dhSw9 Niels Thykier has recently released a new, and much faster version of autodie and now Lintian. autodie ("http://bit.ly/18dhQnU") will turns silent errors into an exception, and Lintian ("http://bit.ly/18dhQnY") is a Lint-like tool for Debian packages. It tries to find bugs and policy violations. -------------- ============= CPAN Real $VERSIONs on CPAN http://bit.ly/19zs2FR Do you know how should a version number on CPAN look like? Not? Don't worry. Apparently there are a few other people who have very interesting ideas about how version numbers should look like. -------------- Five percent of indexed CPAN packages come from just two distributions http://bit.ly/18dhSMp Apparently David Golden was on a roll checking CPAN. What is totally unclear to me is why do those two distribution need so many packages (modules)? -------------- ============= Perl 6 NQP gets MoarVM support, cursor reduction, and other news http://bit.ly/19zs2W8 Jonathan Worthington offers another peek into the labs of Perl 6. -------------- ============= SPAM Setting up DKIM email signatures with Perl http://bit.ly/19zs0h8 DKIM is one of the tools that you, as a sysadmin, mail server owner can help your users to deliver their e-mail avoiding the spam-filters and to ensure that others cannot abuse your domain by faking messages being sent from it. DKIM signs the messages on the server so the recipient will be able to verify it really came from a server authorized for the domain. -------------- ============= Other Why I'll never leave Romania as a software developer http://bit.ly/18dhQEu Tudor Constantin reveals details about the most sacred. His salary. But not only that. He runs a comparison of income and cost of living in a couple of cities. -------------- ============= Video Larry Wall (TimToady): Why Perl Is Like a Human Language http://bit.ly/19MskwL Did your study of linguistics play a role in Perl's development? - How are human languages and programming languages similar? -------------- ============= Weekly collections MetaCPAN weekly report - Devel::hdb http://bit.ly/18dhSMF Devel::hdb tops the list the week I posted the article about it ("http://bit.ly/1a49BaS"). Nice. -------------- Perl 6 changes - 2013W41 http://bit.ly/18dhT2V The weekly update by Konrad Borowski -------------- StackOverflow Perl report http://bit.ly/18dhT2X -------------- ============= Perl Maven Tutorials Getting started with Perl Dancer on Digital Ocean http://bit.ly/19zs0xA In this article you get from zero to a deployed skeleton of a Dancer based web application. -------------- ============= Events I usually list the next 3-4 events here. The list of all the events can be found on the web site (http://perlweekly.com/events.html). If your Perl event is not listed there, please let me know.
