Others? According to http://blogs.perl.org/users/stevan_little/2013/02/what-is-moe-a-clarification.html Moe is a thought experiment to try and envision what Perl 5 might evolve into as a language and a runtime. It borrows much from Perl 6, but still aims to be true to its Perl 5 roots. And that is all that it is (for now). In my opinion, talking about Moe at this point would be premature. According to http://perlbuzz.com/2013/02/everything-you-need-to-know-about-perl-version-numbers.html There has been much bandwidth burned up the past week talking about if Perl 5 should get renamed to Perl 7. Here are the only two things that matter: o Perl 5 is not going to be renumbered to Perl 7, if for no other reason than because Perl 6 exists, and doing so would effectively say "Perl 6 does not matter." o Perl 6 will not be renamed to anything else, no matter how much you might want it to be. Larry has spoken. In my opinion, talking about the Perl 7 kerfuffle would be a waste of time. There is no longer a kerfuffle. Let's keep it real. I'd be interested in hearing more about the problem Phillip talked about many months ago. -mark From gizmo at purdue.edu Thu Feb 14 11:36:52 2013 From: gizmo at purdue.edu (Joe Kline) Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:36:52 -0500 Subject: [Purdue-pm] stamp problem Message-ID: <511D3CD4.9010407@purdue.edu> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Here's a quick problem that is practical but not necessarily best solved by Perl. I have the following stamps: 37 cent=7 39 cent=19 42 cent=4 44 cent=9 4 cent=2 1 cent=8 What are the fewest number of stamps to be able to use all of the stamps for 1st class mail (currently 46 cents)? Stamps available for purchase: 1 cent 2 cent 5 cent 10 cent 20 cent Probably faster to solve by hand, but probably can be done computationally. joe -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlEdPMYACgkQb0mzA2gRTplLtACgnGmVDoM1Mb8POMFUQ7uPb3dD P2kAoICLF/MfL9WiKLdJ1SZ/xEzf/irv =wjid -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From gizmo at purdue.edu Thu Feb 14 11:41:01 2013 From: gizmo at purdue.edu (Joe Kline) Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:41:01 -0500 Subject: [Purdue-pm] stamp problem In-Reply-To: <511D3CD4.9010407@purdue.edu> References: <511D3CD4.9010407@purdue.edu> Message-ID: <511D3DCD.9010002@purdue.edu> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Actually, it looks like I have some 3 cent stamps. 37 cent=7 39 cent=19 42 cent=4 44 cent=9 4 cent=2 3 cent=14 1 cent=8 What are the fewest number of stamps to be able to use all of the stamps for 1st class mail (currently 46 cents)?
