We've got a new meeting scheduled. Jeremy Zawodny will be speaking at craigslist on Mojolicious on Tuesday, July 14th. http://www.meetup.com/San-Francisco-Perl-Mongers/events/223265033/ Jeremy Zawodny will be speaking on how craigslist is implementing the Mojolicious web framework. For years craigslist has employed a collection of mod_perl handlers under Apache 1.x and, more recently, Apache 2.x for generating 99% of pages on our site. However, in the last year we?ve begun to experiment with the Perl Mojolicious web framework for building new services as well as transitioning some services off mod_perl. This presentation will provide a brief overview of Mojolicious and the features that make it attractive, where and how it fits in at craigslist, lessons learned in integrating Mojolicious with an older code base, and a discussion of what it takes to migrate existing services from mod_perl to Mojolicious, including representative code examples. Finally, I?ll discuss what it?s like to track Mojolicious development from the ?outside? and remain current as it continues to evolve. Jeremy is a CPAN author, enjoys flying planes, and sending electronics into outer space. https://metacpan.org/author/JZAWODNY From russt at releasetools.org Mon Jun 29 10:34:02 2015 From: russt at releasetools.org (Russ Tremain) Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 10:34:02 -0700 Subject: [sf-perl] [ANN] Cado 1.107 is released Message-ID: Cado is a friendly, template-based code generation language, implemented in Perl. I have released version 1.107 on the sourceforge distribution site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cado/files/ The most notable change to the language is the new %constant construct, which allows you to create immutable variables for safer programming. The most notable new extension is the new VMware library, vmw_ops.pl, which allows you to interact with vSphere and ESXi hosts in a very simplified manner.
