This is Simon Cozens, www.perl.com managing editor, bringing you the latest goings on from the world of Perl and our own site. * Perl at large. I hope all of you and your families have had a restful holiday season and a pleasant New Year! Thanks to the holidays, there hasn't been an amazing amount of Perl things going on, so this week's news is pretty brief. But that doesn't mean it's not important! For starters, the Call For Participation in this year's Perl Conference has been announced. As last year, it's in the Sheraton San Diego, and is between July 22nd and 26th. I'll be there, of course, and I hope to see you there too! Oh, and speaking of conferences, don't forget the Bioinformatics Conference in Tucson at the end of the month - it's not too late to get yourself signed up. http://conferences.oreillynet.com/os2002/ http://conferences.oreilly.com/biocon/ And, of course, there's this year's Yet Another Perl Conference Europe. YAPC::Europe 2002 is on "The Science of Perl", from 18-20 September in Munich, Germany. Papers are solicited now! http://www.yapc.org/Europe/ http://www.yapc.org/Europe/2002/speakers.html Finally, yes, I've mentioned it before, but Yet Another Society's Perl Development Grant funding drive is still on, and still a worthy cause for those wanting to give something back to the Perl community. The total currently stands at nearly $45k of the $175k target. Please consider how you or your company could help sponsor Damian and Dan to do great things for Perl in 2002. http://www.perl-foundation.org/ * What's new on www.perl.com? The indefatigable Bryan Warnock brings us two Perl 6 summaries, covering the holiday period and before. Some very cool advancements to Parrot have happened in the past couple of weeks, including the surprise addition of a lightning-fast Just In Time compiler, so make sure you catch up! http://www.perl.com/pub/2001/12/p6pdigest/20011222.html http://www.perl.com/pub/2001/12/p6pdigest/20011229.html With all the fuss about bioinformatics - and, of course, the aforementioned bioinformatics conference coming up - I wondered what would happen if, instead of explaining to biochemists how to program Perl, we explained to Perl programmers how to get into bioinformatics. I put the question to James Tisdall, the author of O'Reilly's "Beginning Perl For Bioinformatics", and this week's article is his response. http:/www.perl.com/pub/2002/01/02/bioinf.html http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/begperlbio/ Enjoy!

Posted: January 8, 2002 Job title: Hosting Account Provisioning Company name: videorelay.com Location: United States, Louisiana, New Orleans Pay rate: Bid? Travel: 0% Terms of employment: Independent contractor (project-based) Hours: Flexible Onsite: no Description: Hello: I am seeking the services of a programmer for the creation of an automated account provisioning system for my streaming media company. We offer several different streaming media hosting packages and I want to create an easy to use account provisioning and linking system that gives the end-user control over their account. I have a good idea of what I’d like the system to include, and am certain that we have many of the elements already in place. As customers sign on, their credit cards are authorized and account info is stored in a customer database. Usernames and passwords are entered and home directories and created. They are then given access to the Control Panel, where they can manage their accounts and media. Lastly, a Dynamic Linking System allows them to easily link to streamed media files from their web pages. As far as I can tell, there are three parts to this project: Automatic Account Provisioning User Control Panel Dynamic Linking System But First: A Brief System Overview We have three streaming media servers (QuickTime, Windows & Real) connected to a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. The NAS is run with the Linux operating system (6.2 ?). Customers store their media in home directories on the NAS. Customers have user accounts on the NAS and can access their CHROOTed home directories via ftp. The streaming servers connect via ethernet to the customer’s home directory and deliver the streamed content. 1. Automatic Account Provisioning Account provisioning needs to be automated. The process should flow something like this: a. Capture of Account Information – written to database — email notification b. Credit Card Authorization and Approval — number written to database — email notification c. Account Provisioning on NAS – creation of chrooted directory (sample media files in directory from SKEL), unique username & password (user selected) We also offer a free trial to entice potential customers to use our services. We would need a way to convert free trials to paying accounts (perhaps in the upgrade account section of the control panel?). Additionally, we need a system that will automatically rename the directories of free trials (or some other means of turning them off) after a set period of time. Free trials do not require the input and acceptance of credit cards until they are converted to paying accounts. 2. User Control Panel The control panel provides an easy access to customer files and account information. The control panel obviously needs to be accessed via a web interface and needs to be password protected with the same username and password entered in the web form. The control panel needs to have information about: * disk space allowed (quotas) * disk used * megabytes transferred (as determined from streaming server logs? Directory stats?) * megabytes of transfer remaining (depends on hosting package selected) * file upload * file download * ability to delete and rename files • ability to upgrade account to another hosting package 3. Dynamic Linking System Each customer stores all of their files in one directory. In an effort to make the linking of these files more user friendly, I want to create a dynamic linking system that converts http requests to rtsp behind the scenes. Each streaming media format links in slightly different ways. By using mod::rewrite with apache, we can write regular expressions to determine what kind of media file is being requested, then send the correct link back to the requester— launching the correct media player or browser plug-in. By doing this, users will be able to link their media files into their websites using standard http requests instead of ram files, poster movies and the like. If you have any further questions about the above project, please feel free to reply to this email or contact me a one of the numbers below. I’m anxious to get this project completed. As I said before, we have most of the elements in place... All that is left is your expertise.

This is Simon Cozens, managing editor of www.perl.com, here to bring you the week's news and developments both in the Perl world and on our own site. * Perl at large. If you've ever seen Slashdot or use.perl.org, then you have used a great piece of software called Slash. What you might not have realised is that the technology which powers Slashdot is all Perl, and it's a very flexible way to create weblog-style sites. In fact, we think it's so good that we have a new book coming out explaining how to use it yourself. http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/runblogslash/ And speaking of Slash, one of the guys who hacks on Slash is Chris Nandor, better known to Perl people as the MacPerl maintainer. Chris has been a busy man, and this week he released the 3rd beta of MacPerl 5.6.1. This is probably going to be the last beta before the real release, so it's your last chance to beat on it for bugs! http://archive.develooper.com/macperl@perl.org/msg01692.html http://dev.macperl.org/ And finally, the ritual self-humiliation; back in November, I attended the Little Languages conference at MIT, and wrote a report for you all about it. This month's Dr. Dobb's Journal contains an article on the conference, along with audio and video feeds of the event. (Including some lunatic on the end raving about Parrot development.) http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=2287/ddj0202a/0202a.htm http://technetcast.ddj.com/tnc_catalog.html?item_id=1295 * What's new on perl.com In this week's (quite brief) Perl 6 summary, Bryan updates us on the latest state of the Parrot interpreter, plus a couple of language questions. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/01/p6pdigest/20020105.html Our Perl/Tk guru, Steven Lidie, returns this week to tell us how to create custom widgets in Tk.

This is Simon Cozens, managing editor of www.perl.com, here to bring you the week's news and developments both in the Perl world and on our own site. * Perl at large. First, a quick, serious word for users of ActiveState's Perl Dev Kit - there's a bug in PerlCtrl which has the potential to delete arbitrary parts of your filesystem. If you use PerlCtrl, be extra careful, and check out the advisory on AS's bugs page: http://bugs.activestate.com/show_bug.cgi?id=19041 This week I discovered something that I've been looking for for quite some time: a pure-Perl content management system. It's called Bricolage, and the team has just released version 1.2.0 with a raft of new features. Based on Mason and mod_perl, it could well give Zope a run for its money yet... (And we'll be talking to Sam Tregar from Bricolage in a couple of weeks.) http://bricolage.thepirtgroup.com/ And everything else in the Perl world is pretty quiet, mainly because a vast majority of the movers and shakers managed to get themselves on a boat in the Caribbean. But we're not jealous, are we? No, of course not. http://www.geekcruises.com/ * What's new on perl.com Parrot now has regular expressions! Bryan Warnock, as usual, has the scoop! http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/01/p6pdigest/20020112.html And the moment we've all been waiting for, the fourth in the series of Apocalypses, the revelations of the design of Perl 6. This time, Larry talks "all about blocks". I don't want to give too much of the good stuff away, but it looks like Perl 6 is going to be a lot neater, and much, much more consistent than Perl 5 - without actually looking that different. Read on to see how he does it... http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/01/15/apo4.html Enjoy, SC ============================================================ The 4th O'Reilly Open Source Convention, July 22-26, 2002 Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina The Call for Participation is now live--Individuals and companies are invited to submit proposals http://conferences.oreillynet.com/os2002/ Mark Your Calendar - Registration Begins April 1, 2002 ============================================================ *** Featured Articles *** Apocalypse 4 In his latest article explaining the design of Perl 6, Larry Wall tackles the syntax of the language. http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/01/15/apo4.html *** This Week on Perl 6 (6 - 12 Jan 2002) Parrot has Regexp support!

The ability to flag contracts which are due for renewal or those which require work, possibly date driven. To upload text file or other into the system which will contain additional information about the contract? This will need to be carried out from within the browser, the files will have to be uploaded from the network or PC and will need to be linked from the relevant contract. Simple backing up of all data by the overall administrator Required skills: Perl of course, as we are wholly unsure of the definitive skills for the project we would expect the programmer and ourselves to be satisfied that the contract could be fulfilled by both parties as per full spec Desired skills: Must be UK based and have portfolio/resume outlining experience.
