Hello from Japan, <a href="http://la.pm">la.pm</a>:<br><br>I'm going to be giving a talk at YAPC::Asia tomorrow on the COMET server I wrote, and I was wondering if you guys could do a quick beta test of the new demo I wrote for it.<br>
<br>I just uploaded Stardust-0.04, so you'll probably want to get miyagawa's cpanf to install it straight out of CPAN's upload queue.<br><br><a href="http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/App-CPAN-Fresh/">http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/App-CPAN-Fresh/</a><br>
<br>Alternatively, you could go to the github repo and install Stardust from there.<br><br><a href="http://github.com/beppu/stardust/tree/master">http://github.com/beppu/stardust/tree/master</a><br><br>Do whatever works for you.<br>
<br>********<br><br>After you get the latest Stardust installed, type:<br><br><div style="margin-left: 40px;"><b>stardust.pl --demo</b><br></div><br>and try out the Colorful Boxes demo.<br><br>If it fails horribly, let me know. However, for the time being, I don't care whether it works in IE or not. ;)<br>

</div>It was good. And not just the prepared talks and fun and games<br>
afterwards. We had digressions on things from JavaScript-influenced<br>
Perl coding styles to what roles were.<br>
<br>
On the subject of co-routines I mentioned that my favorite paper on<br>
the subject was how they are implemented in C (!) in PuTTY. That<br>
paper is <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/coroutines.html" target="_blank">http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/coroutines.html</a>.<br>
I really like the bit of it which says:<br>
<br>
Any coding standard which insists on syntactic<br>
clarity at the expense of algorithmic clarity should be<br>
rewritten. If your employer fires you for using this<br>
trick, tell them that repeatedly as the security staff<br>
drag you out of the building.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
