But please don't post large amounts of code to the list: isolate your problem into a small example that we can understand quickly. You'll often find that doing this helps you see the cause of the problem yourself. > I have other questions to ask like on Apache::DBI / Modperl any advanced > tutorial ? Start from http://perl.apache.org/ and let us know if there's anything in particular that you can't find there. I also like Practical mod_perl which you can read online: http://modperlbook.org/ If you want to discuss mod_perl and Embperl, you'll find more experts on their mailing lists than here. Don't let that stop you posting here, but you'll probably get better answers elsewhere.

With Devel::Cover, the POD coverage does very well, as there's a test for this in the suite, but it's not quite 100%. In general, the coverage works out around 80%.

Do things go wrong as documented? - Test the different types of logging, probably using Test::MockObject to override unwanted behaviour such as sending mail. - Read through the documentation and write examples based on what's there - Find examples of people using the modules in the wild and codify them as tests. Perlmonks and mailing list archives should help us find such examples. > * How hard it is likely to be I can see plenty of simple things to test for, and I bet we can think of a few tricksy fun things, like how logging to a file deals with a disk filling up.

As a bonus, you could do a practice run at our next technical meeting (which I will start organising soon - promise). ----- Forwarded message from Barbie ----- Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2008 12:32:16 +0000 From: Barbie To: "London.pm Perl M\[ou\]ngers" Subject: Urgent Request: Perl @ The UKUUG Conference Dear All, Back last year I advertised about the UKUUG conference [1,2] on use.perl [3], with the hope that we might get some Perl talk submissions. Unfortunately we've had none. While JJ, Brian McCauley and myself have all agreed to speak, we're looking for several more Perl talks. The conference takes place from Monday March 31st to Wednesday 2nd April, with tutorials on the first two days and regular talks on the last 2 days. [1] http://spring2008.ukuug.org [2] http://www.ukuug.org/events/spring2008/ [3] http://use.perl.org/~barbie/journal/34593/ We're looking to fill slots of 30, 45 and 60 minutes, so if you have a presentation that you would be willing to give on Tuesday 1st April or Wednesday 2nd April, please contact me as soon as possible. As the deadline has passed for submissions, the organisers are keen to fill slots rather quickly. At this stage all we need from you is the following: * Your Name * Contact Email Address * Presentation Title * Presentation Length * Presentation Abstract * Personal Bio (optional, can be provided later) The abstract just needs to provide enough information to understand what you will be talking about. Also if you have a lightning talk (5 minute slot) you would be willing to give, please feel free to submit those presentations too. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please send submissions to me personally (Barbie ), as I am coordinating the Perl sessions. I would also be grateful if you were able to get submissions to me over the weekend. Sorry about the short notice. The UKUUG Conference will take place in Birmingham city centre, at The Birmingham Conservatoire [4], where GUADEC and PyCon were held. The venue is a short walk from New Street station, and is on the same route from the station to the 2006 YAPC::Europe venue (if you attended that), except closer. Birmingham.pm were planning to hold a Perl Workshop on the weekend before, but unfortunately due to lack of time and resources we are not in a position to organise this. As such we are working with the UKUUG organisers to help promote the Perl side of things at the conference. [4] http://www.conservatoire.bcu.ac.uk/ The conference theme is "Dynamic Languages", so if you have presentations on other languages that would be appropriate, please fee free to submit those too. As there are several UK Perl Monger group leaders on this list, please forward to your own lists if you think there are people who would be willing to present. If you need any further info, please email me offlist, thanks. Cheers, Barbie.

However it is also a sub-class of Apache2::AuthCookie which has a sophisticated test suite (35 tests in all) * What the testing coverage is like 0% ;-( * What needs to be done Examination of the module code reveals that there are a load of configuration options most of which default sensibly but will each need to be tested. There is reasonable documentation for each so this should be achievable. Obviously the DBI bit of Apache2::AuthCookieDBI just changes the way Apache2::AuthCookie works by introducing a database backend, so we only really need to test that bit and any over-ridden methods from the base classes. We will need to test it out on a variety of Database drivers to see what works * How hard it is likely to be Not too hard as there is a good example from Apache2::AuthCookie to use for ideas BM__MailAutoSig-- ********************************************************************** This is a commercial communication from Commerzbank AG.

Pardon the distraction: it's not long until the last Tuesday of the month, when the hibernating beasties of Milton Keynes gather together to discuss software, systems, open source and our other latest obsessions. Officially it's the monthly meeting of Milton Keynes Linux User Group and Perl Mongers. But it's always so much more than that. Please show up and let the exponential effect of your attendance kick in by adding a multiple of your own value to the cruising crowd of crazies. Metcalfe's law, innit?

This month you can redeem all those coupons you've saved: Birmingham Perl Mongers visit us to kick off their 2008 World Tour, and our old friend Robbie's over from Cambridge. We're also handing over the huskies to Peter, who's going to represent us in the Ukraine soon. So it looks like we'll have an especially momentouse meeting despite its especially weak announcement. In all seriousness: make sure you show up on the 29th, or we'll wave placards outside your house and do our best to humiliate you on Anglia News.

Apologies for the late reply: this hasn't been at the top of my radar lately, or whatever the unmixed metaphor for that is. Those of you who want to shove things forward, please contemplate the summaries that Oliver, Peter, Tony and I posted and share your thoughts with us. Another useful thing to do would be to figure out a date that suits us all. We're fine for a location unless anyone objects to hacking in my living room. If nothing happens, I'll get back on the case at some point.

I have a postgres database that updates a MySQL server that runs our public database. It would be nice to update it with SELECT * INTO mysql_production_table FROM postgres_table; Alas I can't remember the projects name or any googletastic searchterms to find it Can anyone prop up my failing faculties (and save me from writing a two handle SELECT -> INSERT script) -- Michael ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michael John Lush PhD Tel:44-1223 492626 Bioinformatician HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee Email: hgnc at genenames.org European Bioinformatics Institute Hinxton, Cambridge URL: http://www.genenames.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From ant at badmagic.com Wed Jan 30 08:40:20 2008 From: ant at badmagic.com (ant at badmagic.com) Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 16:40:20 GMT Subject: postgres -> other databases In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <200801301640.m0UGeKiC016245@magma.bpweb.net> > Some moons ago I heard of a perl project that allowed a > postgres database to treat tables in other databases as part of itself.

My google fu fails me. > http://pgfoundry.org/projects/mysqlcompat I came across that when looking I don't think it is, it was a addon to postgres that allowed it to connect and interact with 'any' database. -- Michael From mjlush at ebi.ac.uk Thu Jan 31 06:06:33 2008 From: mjlush at ebi.ac.uk (Michael Lush) Date: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 14:06:33 +0000 (GMT) Subject: postgres -> other databases In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: On Wed, 30 Jan 2008, Michael Lush wrote: > Some moons ago I heard of a perl project that allowed a postgres database > to treat tables in other databases as part of itself.
