Subject: [Wellington-pm] Meeting next Tuesday
Message-ID: <1433320628.3346.9.camel@kereru>

Hi Mongers

I was apparently having so much fun throughout May that I completely
neglected my duties in sending out reminders and a call for speakers for
the June meeting.  Apparently it's June already.

So ... the next meeting of Wellington Perl Mongers is on next Tuesday,
June the 9th.

    6:00pm Tuesday 14 April 2015
    Level 3, Catalyst House
    150 Willis Street
    Wellington
    http://wellington.pm.org/

Nobody has volunteered to do a talk yet, so let me know if there's
something you'd like to speak about or hear about.  Last month's fairly
informal discussion seemed to work well, so I'm sure we'll pull
something together.

See you there.
Grant

Hi Mongers

It looks like we may have a talk lined up for *next* month (thanks to
Andrew Maguire), but still no volunteers for tonight.

I thought perhaps I could try my hand at the "code reading" concept
which was discussed at an earlier meeting.  The idea is not that I read
out code (which would be dire), but rather that I take you on a tour of
some code, leading a discussion that we can hopefully learn from.  To
make things easier on myself, I have selected a piece of code I wrote
recently :-)

If anyone is interested I could also share some war stories from a
recent bug-hunting expedition in a Perl PDF library.  Other sharing of
war stories is also welcome.

So come along at 6:00pm and we'll have a meeting.

See you there
Grant

Thank you Grant for the very interesting code reading and war stories.

Yesterday, I picked up on the following 2 lines of code
no Moose;
__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;

Being in a good mood, I went to read the Moose best practice (
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Moose/lib/Moose/Manual/BestPractices.pod)
But in there it recommends using the following ahead of 'no Moose'.
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;

..... some code doing things ...

__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;

Are there reasons for using no Moose over namespace::autoclean?

Hi all,

 

I?m happy to speak on Perl Critic at our next meeting.

 

NAME ^

Perl::Critic - Critique Perl source code for best-practices.

SYNOPSIS ^

    use Perl::Critic;

    my $file = shift;

    my $critic = Perl::Critic->new();

    my @violations = $critic->critique($file);

    print @violations;

DESCRIPTION ^

Perl::Critic is an extensible framework for creating and applying coding standards to Perl source code. Essentially, it is a static source code analysis engine. Perl::Critic is distributed with a number of  <http://search.cpan.org/~thaljef/Perl-Critic-1.125/lib/Perl/Critic/Policy.pm> Perl::Critic::Policy modules that attempt to enforce various coding guidelines. Most Policy modules are based on Damian Conway's book Perl Best Practices. However, Perl::Critic is not limited to PBP and will even support Policies that contradict Conway. You can enable, disable, and customize those Polices through the Perl::Critic interface. You can also create new Policy modules that suit your own tastes.

 

 

Here is the link to CPAN. http://search.cpan.org/~thaljef/Perl-Critic-1.125/lib/Perl/Critic.pm.

 

My talk will be on 

-          integrating perlcritic into the development process

-          dispute resolution over best practice

-          adding your own standards

-          customisation levels: organisation, developer, script, code blocks and lines.

 

Cheers

Tai

Thanks for that Tai - I did need to update the web site, so I've done
that now.

Next meeting will be on Tuesday July the 14th.

    6:00pm Tuesday 14 July 2015
    Level 3, Catalyst House
    150 Willis Street
    Wellington
    http://wellington.pm.org/

Andrew does have a talk on OpenCV brewing but not sure if that'll happen
this month or not.

Regards
Grant
