Subject: Perl Programming Best Practices video from linux.conf.au 2011
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=MXANFgZrAKwF9ExURLwmHDeye0aK=oY7gdg3r@mail.gmail.com>

I've just watched the "Perl Programming Best Practices" talk from last
week's lca2011 conference, and thought others might be interested too.

The talk was given by Jacinta Richardson, lasts for 48:36 and is
available in Flash, Ogg and MPEG-4 formats from
http://linuxconfau.blip.tv/file/4697401/

Cheers,
Nick

Subject: April Tech Talk
Message-ID: <AANLkTinJb6-KzhOJ52a6jyKxCdT6vF1rBonOONLCReo0@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All

After foolishly agreeing to arrange our next Perl Tech meet I am planning to
arrange it in April.

I plan to talk about my first CPAN module Proc::Scheduler which is shortly
to be released to the CPAN.
Anyone else like to enlighten us by talking about something ?

Cheers
Tony

Hi, Tony.

Some of the things I originally noticed and disliked, you have since
fixed, such as describing the numerically listed examples in the main
POD.

To my mind, the word "Proc" doesn't quite describe these modules.
Proc makes me thing of a certain process, something that has a PID ,
whereas I think you've written a job scheduler.  I can imagine other
people might see this differently.

The documentation describes what the modules do, but not why I would
use them.  Why would I use this instead of cron or a message queue
based system?  Why wouldn't I use one of the many existing job queue
systems on CPAN listed at http://search.cpan.org/search?query=job ?

Of course, I'm not asking for an answer here, just suggesting that the
documentation could explain not just what the module does, but also
which problems it solves well.

Tom

Thanks for that - I agree 
The documentation needs revamping 
I chose Proc::Scheduler by looking at what already exist on CPAN and Proc is already there - however, I notice that Schedule also exists so 
may-be I'll rename it Schedule::Something - Something to be decided tonight after a few Abbots !
