Message-ID: <24CF2B9B9D2BCC4B8F6EA9528B63C8360A20A64D@LA-EXCLUST01.corp.valueclick.com> Hey all. Perl mongers is tonight. Is anyone planning on presenting anything? I've been putting together some code that accesses a web service (Eve-Online) and makes the data available through an automatically updating cache. Thought I'd share it. Likely the presentation will turn on to a show-and-tell on how to publish a module on CPAN. I hope to see you all there (here)!

Here's a quick overview of everything we talked about. This is *my* way to package a module for distribution on CPAN. There are other options, if you are so inclined to dig deeper. - Install Model::Install if you haven't already done so. You can check with this command: perl -MModule::Install -e 'print "Installed.\n"' - Write a module. Let's call it Yo::Blah. - Create a directory for it. A good name would be /Yo-Blah/. - Move the module to: /Yo-Blah/lib/Yo/Blah.pm - Write a .t file for it: /Yo-Blah/t/00_use.t use strict; use warnings; use Test::More tests => 1; use_ok( 'Yo::Blah' ); - Create: /Yo-Blah/Makefile.PL Use: http://search.cpan.org/src/BLUEFEET/Games-EveOnline-API-0.01/Makefile.PL As a template. Read the documentation for Module::Install for more options. - Run the Makefile.PL. perl Makefile.PL There should be no errors. - Run make and make test. There should be no errors and you should see 00_use.t passing. - Create: /Yo-Blah/README - Create: /Yo-Blah/CHANGES - Run: make manifest - Double check that everything in META.yml is correct. Your module should have a line like this for version: our $VERSION = '0.01'; - Check most of the files that we've created in to your version control system. Check out the code somewhere else, but in to a directory named /Yo-Blah-0.01/. The files would be: README CHANGES MANIFEST Makefile.pl t/* inc/* lib/* META.yml - Now tarball the /Yo-Blah-0.01/ directory (and all of it's contents) in to Yo-Blah-0.01.tar.gz. - Create an account on http://pause.perl.org/. - Upload your tarball. - Drink more coffee while you wait for it to be indexed.

Message-ID: <24CF2B9B9D2BCC4B8F6EA9528B63C8360A20AC79@LA-EXCLUST01.corp.valueclick.com> Hi all, I'm happy to announce that we'll be having a last minute Perl Mongers tomorrow (Wednesday) night. Randal Schwartz will be presenting his talk entitled "Seaside: your next web framework". He's in town for this one day only and wanted to present at our local TO.pm. We'll be hosting the event at the usual location, but an hour later than normal: Where: ValueClick When: Wednesday, the 27th (that's tomorrow!) @ 8pm Directions are available on the TO.pm web site: http://thousand-oaks-perl.org/ (see "Google Map of Meeting Location" at the bottom) Randal is one of the most well-known names in the Perl. He's contributed many modules on CPAN, advocates Perl, and is one of the leaders in our community. Please come - if not for learning of Seaside, then at least to soak up some Schwartzyness. More details about Randal's presentation can be found on Randal's blog at: http://methodsandmessages.vox.com If you think you'll be able to make it then I'd appreciate a personal note so I can keep a head count.

Here's the URL: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/to.pm%3A-seaside-presentation Anyone watching the broadcast should also be able to chat and ask questions using the ustream interface. See you all tonight, Aran From adeltac at valueclick.com Thu May 29 09:06:52 2008 From: adeltac at valueclick.com (Aran Deltac) Date: Thu, 29 May 2008 09:06:52 -0700 Subject: [Thousand-oaks-pm] Live Broadcast of Randal's Presentation Message-ID: <24CF2B9B9D2BCC4B8F6EA9528B63C8360A20AE0B@LA-EXCLUST01.corp.valueclick.com> Sadly the streaming video experiment failed miserably. Well, the video worked somewhat, but the audio cut out after just a couple minutes - which, lead to jokes in the chat room about Randal's dancing since nobody had anything better to do without hearing the presentation. :) Anyway, for those of us that attended in-person, it was a good show. Thanks for dropping on over at the thousand oaks mongers, Randal. For those of you that don't know - we run our TO mongers meeting on the second Wednesday of every month.
