Perl Hacks You Probably Never Knew Existed
chromatic
Perl is a powerful language with many secrets. It's no wonder that we
call the true masters of Perl gurus -- they have studied and discovered
arcane knowledge and arcana.
In this talk, Perl Hacks lead author chromatic will show off several
hacks you probably didn't even know existed. Some are practical. Some
are disgusting. Every one is worth learning for when you find a problem
you just can't solve any other way. Even if you've heard of them
before, he'll show how they work -- so you can create your own
practical mayhem!
Potential hacks include:
Source filtering without source filters
Using shared libraries without a compiler
Creating truly private methods
Reading and writing lexicals without permission
Controlling the runloop from pure Perl
Making invocantless methods
Making multimethods without source filters
If you have a preference, please feel free to mark the most interesting
subject -- or suggest one.
This talk is most suitable for intermediate Perl programmers, though
there is likely something an experienced Perl programmer doesn't know
and it should be entertaining for novices as well.
