Had a couple people email me off list asking if this was new leaders
for SF.pm - this is SVPerl.

However, this doesn't mean that you should hold back if you want to
get more involved in helping out SF.pm :)

Sorry for the confusion -- this is the revived Silicon Valley Perl

meeting spot that supports talks!

Anyone here going to Strata Conference Feb 1-3?  Didn't look for Perl
talks there, but given the data driven nature of the conference it
seems like a good place for it.

Meetup Description

Our 2011 January meeting will feature Greg Lindahl speaking about
blekko. Location forthcoming.

blekko is a new Web-scale search engine, offering focused searching
using "slashtags", which enable you to restrict search results to the
specific sites of actual interest. We'll use some open-source
slashtags as examples. The rest of the talk will focus our
implementation of the search engine and the underlying NoSQL database
using Perl+XS, Map/Reduce done better, tuning Linux for good
performance, etc.

Greg Lindahl is CTO at blekko. He was previously a founder at
PathScale, where he was the architect of the InfiniPath low-latency
InfiniBand HCA, used to build tightly-coupled supercomputing clusters.
Prior to PathScale's founding in 2001, Greg worked on commodity Linux
clusters at HPTi, including the 1999 Forecast Systems Lab system,
which was the first time a Linux cluster won a conventional
supercomputing procurement. Greg first used Perl before the Camel Book
was written. Perl: the swiss army chainsaw of programming languages!

I finally tried out Test::Class for the first time this week.

The most recent from-CPAN module I typed "use ..." for was Sys::Hostname, but that's not as interesting.

My company uses Sys::Hostname when there's some machine-specific resource that the code needs, but isn't easy to quantify by another kind of check. For example, we have one machine that's faster than the other development servers, so we want certain scripts to only run there so they don't timeout.

Test::Class is a more JUnit-like way of writing TAP tests. You still use ok(), is(), etc. from Test::More, but you also can define startup/shutdown methods that run before and after each test. I tried it out just because I was curious about how it worked, after hearing a talk about it at SF PM a while ago.

Message-ID: <13C028E0-D2B6-429E-9C9A-AC4CBA90DCED@highwire.stanford.edu>

I've been tearing my hair out trying to get XML::Xerces compiled on my Snow Leopard Intel MacBook running perl 5.12.2. Every time I try, there seems to be some incompatibility between versions of xercesc and XML::Xerces such that, while xercesc 2.8 runs just fine, XML::Xerces can't use it. 

Google searching has led me to believe that there may be a way to get it to work, but it seems to require stronger magic than I have available.

Has anyone else got XML::Xerces working on OS X 10.6? 
If so, would you share it with me? (Either the secret or the binary, either would be fine.)

Thanks much!
-- Mike

PS - Yes, yes, "use a different XML parser." I have some legacy code that uses Xerces and I don't have time to rewrite it. New code that my group is writing uses either XML::LibXML or XML::XPath, depending on individual needs, and those modules both installed just fine on OS X. :-)

Tried to compile it myself, and the latest CPAN version of XML::Xerces expects to use Xerces 2.7 not 2.8 which is the one available in ports

Since you don't want to use another parser (which should be a trivial work), I would recommend you to download and compile xerces-c 2.7 and link the Perl library to it.

Why? Because it's DBI++ (uses DBI underneath, but also offers
sophisticated ping/retry/fixup, transaction/rollback/savepoint, and
exception support, all with reasonable defaults). See the excellent
documentation:

CPAN, *not* core? I was just hacking on some old code that I see uses:

   File::Find::Rule

Which is one of the many attempts at a cleaner re-implementation of
File::Find.  (It's star has long since faded, and I've gradually come to
the conclusion that there's nothing seriously wrong with File::Find.)

Core modules? I was using File::Basename and FindBin recently.  That
felt very old-school. I decided to use explicit export lists:

use FindBin '$Bin';
use File::Basename qw( basename dirname );

though an argument could also be made for fully qualified names:

use FindBin (); # () prevents it from importing, so it doesn't junk up
your namespace
use File::Basename ();

my $path = $FindBin::Bin
my $dir = File::Basename::dirname($path);

And of course I use the living daylights out of Test::More on a daily
basis. Don't we all? =)

DBIx::Class - was evaluating it for ORM needs for a short project of mine.

Now I don't mean to take this thread elsewhere :-), but having used 
ActiveRecord from ROR, I can't get around the boot-up verbosity of 
DBIx::Class, so I went on to commit the cardinal sin of writing my own 
ORM. (My needs were simple, and the project was a personal short project).

I've been using DBIx::Class for several years now, and I can say, that I don't know I was able to live without it.

It takes a while on getting used to it, but it is well worth it.

By the way, my talk was rejected by SCALE. Mmf.

Thank you guys for having me over -- I loved all the questions.

It took me more than 2 hours to present only 36 slides. Wow.

A few followups:

That information Retrieval textbook I mentioned is at:
  http://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/html/htmledition/irbook.html

I should have mentioned that we're headquartered in Redwood Shores, if
you're interested in working for us. (100 Marine Parkway, RWC, to be exact.)

If you're interested in our API, email apiauth at blekko.com ... I'll
mention it here when I get around to releasing a proper perl module
for it. Search, create/add-to/delete-from slashtags, and some extra
stuff aimed at toolbars and Search Engine Optimization.

Someone in the audience mentioned some bookmarking and
search-websites-in-your-bookmarks websites that it might be interesting
to import from -- details, please?

Hi Greg.

What was the javascript or graphics library used to create the neat graphs
of the storage pools with the big numerals overlaid on top of total
capacity?

Thanks, James.

All of the things with squares and text are html tables. The overlaid
text is done with a z-index.

Are the slides from the talk up anywhere yet?  I was trying to describe some of it to my coworkers, and starry-eyed looks and hand-waving only get you so far...
