I am not a fan of the Apress one. Got it and it has tons of errors,
and uses modules that aren't even maintained anymore.

I used the Deployment chapter of the Apress book a couple weeks ago and was 70% happy with it. IRC corrected things I found confusing in the book.

>From a readability standpoint, I 100% agree with you.  I think the
combined regular expression is a lot more readable.  The one note I
would add, which bit me recently, regards performance.  If this is a
performance sensitive bit of code, and that regex will be going
through a lot of data, it's probably worth benchmarking it.

Background: A little while ago, I was writing a bit of perl to do some
basic log processing and when putting together some regular
expressions, I assumed that it would be faster to do a single regex
with alternation, as opposed to two separate checks.  Very similar to
the code above.  It turned out my assumption was very wrong.

A little assistance from the Benchmark module (thank you "Effective
Perl Programming, 2nd Ed." for kicking me in the ass to use that), and
I found out that Combining it was significantly slower.  Here's the
code and results of my tests:

#!/usr/bin/perl
# vim: ts=3 sw=3 et sm ai smd sc bg=dark
#######################################################################
# Small script to benchmark regular expressions.  Expects test text as
# standard input.  Runs the test 100 times.  The xN_ prefix is to
force test result
# ordering (sorts alphabetically by default).
#######################################################################
use strict;
use warnings;
use Benchmark qw(timethese);

my @data = <>;
my $host = "lab13";

print "Testing against " . scalar @data . " lines.\n";

timethese(
   $ARGV[0] || 100,
   {
      x1_control => sub {
         foreach (@data) {
            if (1) {
               next;
            };
         }
      },

      x2_mgi_separate => sub {
         foreach (@data) {
            my $foo = ( m/$host.*sudo/mgi || m/$host.*ssh/mgi );
         }
      },

      x3_separate => sub {
         foreach (@data) {
            if ( my ($foo) = ( m/$host.*sudo/g || m/$host.*ssh/g ) ) {
               next;
            };
         }
      },

      x4_mgi_combined => sub {
         foreach (@data) {
            if ( m/$host.*(?:sudo|ssh)/mgi ) {
               next;
            };
         }
      },

As you can see, for this case and with this data, using separate regex
checks is over twice as fast as doing a combined regex with
alternation.  The opposite of what I had expected.  Case insensitive
searches are also significantly slower.

After this, I've discovered that I'm not as smart as I thought I was
with my assumptions about optimizing regular expressions.  Now all
regular expressions that are going to be chewing on large data sets
get tested with a few alternatives to make sure I'm not screwing up
performance by being clever.  Even little things can have a big
impact, especially with big data files.

Fun $#schedules = -1 conversation at $work[0]. 

 

Did you know that assigning to $#foo can truncate @foo? I didn't.

I've never used $#schedules before but if you ever want to know the size
of an array - 1 it beats doing a (scalar @schedules - 1) all the time.
Thanks for the tip Justin!

 

 

The specific example below is redundant.  "my @schedules" and
"$#schedules = 1" do the same thing.  One is just "use strict" friendly.

 

main::(t.pl:4): my @schedules;

  DB<1> n

  DB<1> x @schedules

empty array

main::(t.pl:7): $#schedules = -1;

  DB<1> n

  DB<1> x @schedules

empty array

 

DB<4> push @schedules, 1

DB<5> push @schedules, 2

DB<6> push @schedules, 3

DB<7> x $#schedules

0  2

DB<8> x @schedules

0  1

1  2

2  3

DB<9> x scalar @schedules -1

0  2

Interesting. 

 

Can anyone explain to me in English (well) what ' $#schedules = -1 ' is
supposed to be doing in the code below?

 

 

 

      # Schedule can have multiple entries.  Let's insert them all.

      #

      my ($schedule) = $event->children('schedule');

      my @schedules;

      $#schedules = -1;

      my $count=0;

      foreach my $sched ( $event->children ) {  

         next unless ( $sched->tag eq 'schedule' );

         #my $tmpier_hash = {%$tmp_hash};

         my $tmpier_hash;

 

         my ($sd) = $sched->get_xpath('start_date');

         my ($ed) = $sched->get_xpath('end_date');

         $tmpier_hash->{'end_date'}   = $ed->text;

         $tmpier_hash->{'start_date'} = $sd->text;

 

         my ($booking_url) = $sched->get_xpath('booking_url');

         if ( $booking_url && $booking_url->text ) {

            $tmpier_hash->{'booking_url'} = $booking_url->text;

         } else {

            # No booking_url so we'll just use the venue url

            my ($vi) = $sched->get_xpath('venue_id');

            my $venue_id = $vi->text;

            $tmpier_hash->{'booking_url'} = $venues->{$venue_id};

         }

 

         push @schedules, $tmpier_hash;

      }

Hey, so, I'm still here, moving is turning out to be more involved and
drawn out than I anticipated.

I can meet somewhere tonight to help plan scenarios and then also be
there tomorrow for the meeting. I'm fairly flexible about time/location
tonight--not too late though. Maybe over supper somewhere?

Gak... SORRY!  I forgot I'm at a concert tonight!

The 'za should be ready for pickup at 6:10, which last time meant 6:20, which means I'll arrive with it at UNO at... 6:35?   :)

I'll try not to back into that damn landscaping rock tonight. Last month it found my rear bumper delicious.  -sigh-

Thanks Stephen! Last night's meeting was excellent!

I updated our meeting history with links to Stephen's blog entries:

   http://jays.net/wiki/Meeting_history

It's a wiki -- everyone please feel free to add whatever notes you took that others might find helpful. (All that Windows install stuff?)

Maybe I can get the "community dev server" fired up this weekend and move odlug.org to that. (See www.linode.com for hosting info.) Please email me your preferred username. I'll create you an account, add you to sudoers/wheel and send you a password for you to change. Ubuntu is my default Linux nowadays. Everyone OK with that?

Suggestions, volunteers for upcoming meeting topics?

   http://odlug.org

Cheers,

I don't think irssi has ever puked on me...? If it ever has I don't recall. It usually runs for months (until hardware reboot).

I don't see you in Freenode #omaha.dev ? You really should hang out there, especially after you move. We need more genius types.  :)

Nice. Prefetching is cool. I got distracted looking into it a few weeks
ago as I thought it'd be a cool optimization for my joist hobby orm [1]:

http://www.draconianoverlord.com/2010/07/16/orm-prefetching.html

I was really surprised by the amount of research/magic that has gone
into thinking about prefetching--JIT-style runtime analysis is just
crazy.

This is a great opportunity to code mission critical modern Perl for a $800M company. Highly recommended.   :)

[ Dave: Oops, you weren't subscribed to this list yet, so your message didn't post. Looks like you did subscribe now, so you should be fine. ]

I've heard rumors you can use JDBC nowadays, so you might try that first.

   http://search.cpan.org/~vizdom/DBD-JDBC-0.71/JDBC.pod

But what I've always used everywhere is FreeTDS + DBD::Sybase:

   http://freetds.org/
   http://search.cpan.org/~mewp/DBD-Sybase-1.10/Sybase.pm

Did you get it working?
