This is Simon Cozens, managing editor of www.perl.com, here to bring you the week's news and developments both in the Perl world and on our own site. * Perl at large. After last week's disappointment, I have two pieces of good news about the Perl Journal. Firstly, I've been taking your points of view to Amber Ankerholz and Edwin Rothrock at CMP, and they've both been extremely receptive to what you've been saying. However, they've made one thing clear to me: for TPJ to exist as a separate journal, it'll need support from advertisers. So if you think you could help out, get in touch with them. Secondly, even better news, back issues of TPJ are now online. Get 'em while they're hot: http://www.sysadminmag.com/tpj/issues/ use.perl.org has a lovely little article about the pros and cons of various XML parsing modules, concluding with the discovery of XML::Checker::Parser, a simple, validating XML parser. Could be just the thing for you. http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=01/11/04/2324229&mode=nocomment http://search.cpan.org/doc/TJMATHER/XML-Checker-0.10/lib/XML/Checker/Parser. pm Bioinformatics! For some reason, possibly not entirely unrelated to Lincoln Stein, Perl and bioinformatics go hand in hand. Perl was involved in the heavy work on the Human Genome Project, and bioinformatics is something I'm having to deal with more and more in my daily Perl work. Why am I telling you this? For two reasons. First of all, O'Reilly has a new book coming out on "Beginning Perl For Bioinformatics". Secondly, if that sort of thing's your cup of tea, be sure not to miss the O'Reilly Bioinformatics conference that's happening at the end of January - it's closer than you think! To whet your appetite, we'll be bringing you bioperl articles in the weeks to come. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/begperlbio/ http://conferences.oreilly.com/biocon/ And finally, an interesting introductory series of articles about Perl from Extreme Tech, one of ZDNet's Windows web magazines: http://www.extremetech.com/article/0,3396,s%253D1455%2526a%253D17938,00.asp * What's new on perl.com Chatting to some friends this week, we realised that one of the things that separates an intermediate Perl programmer from an expert is the understanding of object-oriented Perl. This is one of those barriers that you need to break through, and it may take some time and effort to understand it. I know that personally, I was completely mystified by object-oriented Perl until I'd worked through the examples in the Perl Cookbook, after which it became crystal clear to me. So this week's article is aimed at those less experienced Perl programmers who are grappling with the concept of OO Perl; we look at a couple of uses of OO Perl and how it differs from ordinary procedural code, and hopefully, you'll see that it's not actually as scary as it might first appear. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/11/07/ooperl.html Enjoy, SC ============================================================= Sponsored by Macromedia FREE TRIAL: DEVELOP AND DEPLOY J2EE COMPATIBLE APPLICATIONS QUICKLY!

Hours: Flexible Onsite: no Description: I have a small project that I think PERL would be great for, but I don't have the time to learn Perl and would be willing to pay an experienced programmer to do it for me. I have requested and received the entire voter registration data for the state of North Carolina. It unzips into 100 files( 1 for each county). Each file has between approx 10,000 to 450,000 records, each record has 87 tab-delimited fields. I am only interested in 31 of those fields. I would like to condense all 100 files into one .csv file or one .dbf file with only the 31 fields I need. There is a separate file that unzips into 100 files of a large number of records, but these records only contain 10 fields- voting history. I would like to collate those into one .csv file or .dbf file as well. I can either snail mail the CD with the data or email it. I am running for state-wide office on a shoe-string budget and this data would help me direct my campaign efforts wisely. If my politics matter to you, I am a for a smaller, less intrusive federal gonvernment and for preserving our individual rights, including the right to bear arms. Required skills: PERL scripting and experience working with large text and data files. Be advised that the files unzip to over 11 Gb, so you'll need a good bit of room on your hard drive to do this project.

I've long argued that POE is one of the most interesting and useful Perl modules around; unfortunately, I've also conceded that it's one of the most difficult to understand. Thankfully, Matt Cashner is working on solving that, and has come up with POEd - the POE documentation project. It's still in its early stages, but worth checking out: http://eekeek.org/poed Matt Sergeant, Perl's de facto XML God, has produced something which should make other XML acolytes whoop with delight: XML::SAX is a parser-independent interface to SAX, and contains a pure-Perl SAX parser. Robin Berjon is working on an Expat back-end to it, and Matt is also planning on a LibXML version. But thankfully, the whole point of XML::SAX is that you don't need to worry about what's going on under the hood. (Think AnyDBM.) This is a huge shot in the arm for Perl's XML support; nice one, Matt. http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=XML-SAX And finally, this week I'm on the road again - after an enjoyable weekend talking about Parrot, art, and many other things with the crowd at BSD Con Europe, I'm currently in Boston getting ready for the Lightweight Languages conference at MIT. This is an opportunity for people from the academic community to get together with some of the lead developers of Python, Perl, Tcl and the like, and to discuss the future of dynamic languages. Dan Sugalski and I will, naturally, be there plugging Parrot, but it'll be a lot of fun to meet up with our opposite numbers in the other leading languages. http://ll1.mit.edu/ http://www.bsdconeurope.org/ * What's new on perl.com Last week, I said we'd be bringing you articles about the interface between Perl and bioinformatics; we kick off with an article from the author of O'Reilly's new book, "Beginning Perl for Bioinformatics." James Tisdall explains how he uses Perl to parse and manipulate the data from the Dictionary of Protein Sites and Patterns, along with some discussion of why Perl is the ideal language for biochemists. http://perl.com/pub/a/2001/11/16/perlbio2.html "Web services" is a big buzzphrase around O'Reilly and around the rest of the Net these days, especially with Microsoft's .NET vision. But what does it mean? Put simply, it's computers using the web to talk to other computers instead of talking to people. For instance, one of the coolest web services I've seen is O'Reilly's own Meerkat service, created by Rael Dornfest. This takes feeds from a whole host of IT news sites, and turns them into an integrated news ticker. The technology behind this is RSS, the Remote Site Summary XML schema. Chris Ball shows us how to get started with RSS, by turning an external news site into an RSS feed using the XML::RSS Perl module. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/11/15/creatingrss.html http://meerkat.oreillynet.com/ Enjoy, SC ============================================================= Sponsored by Macromedia FREE TRIAL: DEVELOP AND DEPLOY J2EE COMPATIBLE APPLICATIONS QUICKLY!

This is Simon Cozens, managing editor of www.perl.com, here to bring you the week's news and developments both in the Perl world and on our own site. Because of the holiday season in the US, I'm having to get this newsletter out to you before you head off for Thanksgiving, and hence there's not much new this week. * Perl at large. Last week, I talked about Matt Sergeant's XML::SAX - this week, I'm happy to announce that Robin Berjon has come out with the Expat goods. In other words, XML::SAX::Expat is out. Now you can have a fast backend to the generic SAX2 frontend. http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=XML-SAX-Expat David Ritchie has produced an interesting little Perl tutorial for high school students which takes a novel approach to teaching the fundamentals of the language. Take a look: http://home.mindspring.com/~djrassoc01/PoP/Pop.html * What's new on perl.com As mentioned last week, Dan Sugalski attended the Lightweight Languages workshop at MIT this weekend; leading lights from language research got together with implementors like Dan and I, Jeremy Hylton from Python and many others. It was certainly good for cross-language relations and we learnt a lot of interesting things about the state of the art in academic language research and implementation.

This is Simon Cozens, managing editor of www.perl.com, here to bring you the week's news and developments both in the Perl world and on our own site. Hope you had a good holiday! * Perl at large. Dave Rolsky has been hard at work writing a little article to compare various methods of storing objects into databases - "object persistence" - making them more permanent and easy to manage. If you're doing heavy-duty applications involving objects, this is almost certainly something you need to know about; and if you're not already on enough mailing lists, check out the POOP-group, for more Perl Object-Oriented Persistence talk. http://poop.sourceforge.net/ http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=poop-group http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=poop-scoop Good news for Mac users, as another beta of MacPerl 5.6.1 appears, thanks to the hard work of Chris Nandor. As usual, yes, you can build it using freely-available compilers. Go get it, play with it, and pass on any bug reports to Chris and the other developers. Enjoy! http://dev.macperl.org/ http://dev.macperl.org/?build And finally... some good news on the "stupid modules" front; the popular /dev/bollocks device driver for Linux has been ported to Perl, in the form of Dev::Bollocks. If that wasn't enough, Autrijus Tang threatens to break our brains with the wonderful-yet-disturbing Acme::ComeFrom.
