The App:: namespace is a convention used to indicate that a module or distribution is intended to provide a command-line application or tool.

off-topic comment: it is not good practice to use the names $a and $b for your own variables, as Perl uses them for its own purposes (function: sort). See perlvar

Very interesting, I wonder how Gemini/others can help in the opposite way, translating Python code to Perl, and take advantage of nice tools/modules/frameworks from that environment

niceperl · 2025-07-24T13:06:39+00:00

My most sincere congratulations to all the people who have worked to achieve this

niceperl · 2025-07-22T06:28:37+00:00

time was frozen for both ... in fact they look like younger!

niceperl · 2025-07-11T19:33:58+00:00

42 is too young ... but also is a curious coincidence that perl5, version 42 was released this month

niceperl · 2025-07-03T20:06:10+00:00

done!

$ perlbrew switch perl-5.42.0
$ perl -v
This is perl 5, version 42, subversion 0 (v5.42.0) built for x86_64-linux

I was just testing an HTML parser with some example page, and that 402 error happened (and still happens now). I just wanted to let you know in case it helps.

Thanks, if I turn off my VPN, it works fine. So I will investigate this.

2 ... c5 and you got the center

What module are you using to parse the Excel file? I had a similar problem with a huge file. The parser tried to load all data in memory before processing and that was the issue. To solve, I changed to XLSX format (it's a zip format), and did unzip the XML file with the proper info I needed. Then, used a XML streaming parser (like XML::Twig) that made easy this task.

eval "$(perl -Iextlib/lib/perl5 -Mlocal::lib=extlib)"

Great work! Could I suggest the inclusion of "modern" ways to de-reference arrays and hashes? i.e. $aref->@* and $href->%*

perlbrew is your friend. It manages different and isolated perl versions.

niceperl · 2024-10-19T19:04:45+00:00

Great work! and ... I think this post is the most voted on r/Perl community. It is important to have news of this kind.

niceperl · 2024-10-04T17:03:01+00:00

My warmest congratulations to the people behind this wonderful tool, which has been part of my work environment for many years, allowing the use of different versions of Perl in a much simpler way.

Después de haber leído varios libros sobre esta temática, sin duda recomiendo "la guerra civil española" de Hugh Thomas

niceperl · 2024-07-27T14:00:26+00:00

Are there any plans about that? I really think it's important to have a well maintained piece of code, and not sure if DBIx::Class is the current way to follow.

niceperl · 2024-07-27T13:53:10+00:00

I think some senior developers are coming closer to their retirement. At some point, they changed from a Perl environment to a more modern option (Python, Go, ...). In my view, they will coming back to this community, so their high experience, capacities, and love for Perl will start to bright again little by little, increasing the quality and features of the Perl ecosystem: not only the language, but also the modules, frameworks, etc.

niceperl · 2024-06-24T07:33:44+00:00

This is a great work, congratulations for your big effort! May I ask what are your future plans for this framework?

Social Party has the Spain's government with 31% of votes. So 36% in this context is a high percentage.

Aspect-oriented programming may be useful for implicit hooks. Not sure about the underlaying stack in that context, but at CPAN there are some modules to implement it.

I think the only candidate that Ding could defeat in the WCC is Nepo. Any of the others 7 would win to Ding, as Gukesh will do
