So, help me outline this. What ARE the latest developments in Perl? Clearly, Perl 6 as a) a new language and b) a skunk works for new ideas for Perl 5.

A tiny start: Perl 5 http://www.perl.org Perl 5.16.2 Moose parallel perl, including Grid::Machine threads Raspberry Pi Perl CPAN over 25,000 "distributions of software written in Perl" Perl 6 rewrite of Perl from the ground up but still feels like Perl Parrot, from http://www.parrot.org: Parrot is a virtual machine designed to efficiently compile and execute bytecode for dynamic languages. Parrot currently hosts a variety of language implementations in various stages of completion, including Tcl, Javascript, Ruby, Lua, Scheme, PHP, Python, Perl 6, APL, and a .NET bytecode translator. Parrot is not about parrots, though we are rather fond of them for obvious reasons.

Maybe bring up the Modern Perl movement. Especially with Moose Perl has a very modern OO system. With tools like perlbrew and cpanm you can do your own Perl install quite easily. Strawberry Perl and Activestate have really got Perl on Windows working well again. Throw something out on Perl Monks and blogs.perl.org to see what other folks think it cool. I think this is rather cool: http://blogs.perl.org/users/mauke/2012/11/cool-things-you-can-do-with-perl-514.html Also, Perl has moved to a release tempo that is predictable, stable and isn't burning out pumpkings anymore. joe -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlCz1rEACgkQb0mzA2gRTpnLwgCeOpyotSU5DK+k6/Jxph4Ej3eK nIsAnjXCT7FP6kftrmZ+VOyj/2OLnDLt =bMG4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From jacoby.david at gmail.com Tue Nov 27 13:28:48 2012 From: jacoby.david at gmail.com (Dave Jacoby) Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:28:48 -0500 Subject: [Purdue-pm] Fwd: [Perl Maven] Regex Maven for Android In-Reply-To: <20121127211849.0A39DCDCA@li206-65.members.linode.com> References: <20121127211849.0A39DCDCA@li206-65.members.linode.com> Message-ID: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gabor Szabo Date: Tue, Nov 27, 2012 at 4:18 PM Subject: [Perl Maven] Regex Maven for Android To: jacoby.david at gmail.com ** Regex Maven for Android Hi, I am currently attending a course learning mobile development using web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript. Using these I created my first ever application for Android. It is called "Regex Maven". It can help you learn Regular Expressions, or improve your knowledge. It is still in very early stages, but it already has some text, a cheat-sheet, a few Quizzes and a tool to actually try regular expressions. I wrote about more on my own blog announcing the Regex Maven for Android, but you can also go directly to the Google Play siteand install it from there. As I mentioned, it is far from being "ready", but I'd like to get your feedback and there is also a competition I'd like to win. The students in the course compete. The one who made the application with the most installs by Wednesday, will get a Nexus tablet. So not only will you be able to impact the direction of this application, you can also help me get a new gadget :) regards Gabor ------------------------------ You are receiving this message because you subscribed to the Perl 5 Maven newsletter .
