I downloaded the pre-compiled binaries, and extracted them to my user home directory (~/bin, ~/lib, ~/usr, ~/opt, etc). There were also a number of user environment variables I had to set or adjust (LIB, PATH, etc). Everything I did was through trial-and-error, but in the end it worked (for me anyway). Is there an official document covering that or Jays special user-only configuration? Dan On Jan 31, 2008 10:21 PM, Jay Hannah wrote: > Wow.

You can help too! It's easy: http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=08/02/01/209206 Jonathan Worthington described his progress in adding object, role, and regular expression support to Rakudo.

Thanks, Best Practical! http://news.perlfoundation.org/2008/02/ rtcpanorg_speed_improvements_i.html Andy Lester riffed on an idea mentioned by Bugzilla hacker Max K-A, specifically about the gyrations the Perl 5 parser has to go through to make indirect object notation work.

Allowing proper operation while restricting improper operation will keep your data and users safe and secure. Implementing proper access control is a simple matter of programming, if you understand the principles of how it works. Vladi Belperchinov-Shabanski explains how to think about limiting private data and operations to the appropriate users: http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2008/02/13/elements-of-access-control.html Your editor described annoyance-driven development, particularly in the context of long-running test suites: http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2008/02/ what_you_test_changes_how_you.html ... and wondered about the multiple facets of the word "scalable": http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2008/01/scale1_scale2_scalen.html Curtis Poe explained why everyone who writes object-oriented code should care about the Liskov Substitution Principle: http://www.oreillynet.com/onlamp/blog/2008/02/ the_liskov_substitution_princi.html That's it for this fortnight.

Jay, if you'd like to publicize this on Perlbuzz, let me know.

The Perl College is a creative merger of job training and job fairs. Here are its primary goals: * Provide free top quality training to qualified junior level Perl developers * Improve their Perl skills to the intermediate level * Match the new graduates with Perl jobs in the hiring companies * http://perlhunter.com/college.html The Perl College was created to address these issues in recruiting Perl coders: * A shortage of intermediate level Perl developers * A surplus of junior level Perl developers * Some are not developing Perl full time * Many are looking for a career developing Perl but can't get needed training and experience * Companies lacking the resources to train Perl developers We are currently seeking both sponsors and students for this unique education/recruitment opportunity. Hiring Sponsors: Thirty great applicants - cheap! Imagine how much it would cost in both time and money to find and train a qualified applicant for your Perl jobs. The Perl College dramatically improves the efficiency of this process by pre-screening and accepting only the most motivated students. Then we take it one step further. We take those already highly motivated students and train them up to a solid intermediate level of Perl skills. Efficiency, cost effectiveness and quality results - what could be better for your Perl recruitment needs? Student Candidates: Put yourself ahead of the competition. If selected you will have a week of free training from Damian Conway (valued at $3000). Plus you will exposed to employers who are actively seeking intermediate level Perl developers. Competition to get in will be fierce so put your best foot forward. Don't wait to apply as we will take only the thirty most qualified students. For more information on The Perl College, and how to apply to be a sponsor or a student go to these pages: http://perlhunter.com/college.html http://perlhunter.com/sponsors.html http://perlhunter.com/students.html Thanks, Uri Guttman, Dean of The Perl College -- Uri Guttman ------ uri at stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Architecture, Development, Training, Support, Code Review ------ ----------- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ----- http://jobs.perl.org --------- --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- --
