From jacoby at purdue.edu Mon Nov 7 07:22:48 2011 From: jacoby at purdue.edu (Dave Jacoby) Date: Mon, 07 Nov 2011 10:22:48 -0500 Subject: [Purdue-pm] So, I made Perl Weekly Message-ID: <4EB7F7C8.3070608@purdue.edu> http://perlweekly.com/archive/15.html Which is cool. Except, The point of it is that I know what I have has flaws, and this was a fairly transparent (I hope) request to work out how to algorithmically work out the flaws. So, I won't see it as cool until the hoped-for flood of "do it like this, fool" bug fixes start rolling in. -- Dave Jacoby Address: WSLR S049 Code Maker Mail: jacoby at purdue.edu Purdue University Phone: 765.49.67368 882 days until the end of XP support From gizmo at purdue.edu Tue Nov 15 08:42:37 2011 From: gizmo at purdue.edu (gizmo at purdue.edu) Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2011 11:42:37 -0500 Subject: [Purdue-pm] Meeting today?

See http://perlweekly.com/archive/18.html I recommend the _Perl Weekly_. It's once a week, usually pretty short and has interesting articles. The following articles were in this weeks issue. Finding a lost dog's owner with Perl and WWW::Mechanize How to use WWW:Mechanize to automatically get data from a website and, in this case, figure out who is the owner of a lost dog. (I presume the geek knew to look for information on the dog's collar first but it wasn't there.) http://perlbuzz.com/2011/11/finding-a-lost-dogs-owner-with-perl-and-wwwmechanize.html Know split's special cases Some handy details about three simple patterns using split. For example @a = split ' ', ' hello world '; print scalar @a; prints "2". http://www.effectiveperlprogramming.com/blog/1416 -mark
