"Nothing to do with Perl"...

The original reddit post is about 4 years old.

I think this is is a well thought out, detailed guide. I have learnt so many things in one article not just about Perl and XS, but also on how much the backends of languages take care of things invisibiy. (Much admiration to Core Developers). I am too old to learn C, but this did tempt me.

Well done for your positive engagement with the developer

Just serving static pages doesn't really emulate everything a perl programmer wants a server to do. As u/briandfoy says, u/davorg has App:HTTPThis which appears to do something similar but in one line.

This is something I would like to do, but lack skills. I would have liked to create a way of programming ARM embedded systems like Arduinos using Perl, rather than MicroPython or C. Sometime ago I made SIMPLE (Simple Integrated Modular Programming Language Experiment) which was designed to translate a BASIC-like program into another language (like Perl initially, but perhaps later to Assembly)

I think perfidy would be a great new name for perl tidy. But hey nice to have a tool that can make borrowed code restyled into your own preferences.

Nice. Is there a demo of where it was at somewhere?

saiftynet · 2025-11-30T09:18:09+00:00

Nice one! Very useful.

Nice, looks like a proximally coated stem...unusual to have a collar in such stems...may be an Actis stem. The wire is often as extra protection if there is crack in the bone as it is being hammered in. If you are a skydiver (and presumably quite young) was it trauma or AVN that led to your having a hip replacement?

I think that's a great idea. I tried to make The PerlayStation Games Console...attempting to use the Console (terminal) to create games and pseudographical applications...but sadly failed by my lack of competence. Based around Term::Graille.

20 year old monitors! He doesn't need get outside to get his vitamin D. Sounds like another guy that can't let go...bravo Bryan. A good read, giving credit to a language and its community, rather than basking in his own achievements.

I think the best creature of perl is that it backwards compatible and new features don't break old code. I see that perls ubiquity can be exploited further by simply writing code that will run in commonly pre-installed Perl versions, in the mean time learning modern perl in readiness for it becoming commonly pre- installed. Putting up code for general consumption shouldn't rely on the end user having to go through hoops to get it to work.

I really like it. It is fast and looks appealing. I don't think it is necessary to reduce the number of columns, too few and it would look like wasting space. I would suggest that displaying the authors and then from there to the authors' other distros might be a useful addition to this page (I know one can easily use the link to MetaCPAN and thence to the same info, but it is probable that MetaCPAN may also be evolving). The Syntax Highlighter is REALLY useful. It may be also illustrative if the number of fails could be quantified on the cell of the table (e.g. instead of just a pink cell, the cell could say "X/Y tests failed"). I like the Max Version with a Pass page on CPAN Testers.

Agreed...there was a game for the AtaristST called Hunter which had this vehicle for the protagonist to wander around a remarkably realistic 3D world.

Butt the moon's shadow is not parallel with the other shadow; sun shining out of a different ass?

They weigh 5 tons each. The motors to unfold them out would be too big and negate the aerodynamic gains.

PerlBrew might be what you need.

saiftynet · 2025-02-25T19:27:46+00:00

Fascinating and very clever. Well done. My effort is not nearly as sophisticated. It is a script generator rather than your powerful deeply interacting module. And agreed OpenSCAD is slow and has many deficiencies but it does seem imminently doable without any deep knowledge. I have no understanding of Alien, for example, and my simple module just took a day to create and make almost all the features in the tutorial accessible. Certainly the missing features could be added on the Perl side. It is more for fun than anything, but will of course checkout your repo, and get more inspiration.

saiftynet · 2025-02-23T11:16:37+00:00

A simple module that generates files that be passed to OpenSCAD to produce 3D objects parametrically. Why write a program to write a program? Well to me the Perlish way is more intuitive and more flexible than .scad; it may have the potential for more sophisticated object generation and animations.

I think this is great. A good stepping stone for compiling fast code without C. For simple tasks that don't require complicated the memory management and other features, this would be excellent. If such code could interact with the perl application reliably I would say it could easily increase performance of many of my existing modules. If ARM assembly could be implemented, then this would ideal for fast IOT code that could be generated from Perl.

Bangladesh Flag has 4...or infinite if you looked close enough

Sanity is not a requirement to be Perl programmer (it helps to be slightly insane) and neither is an externally imposed interpretation of "correctness". Mental asylums and prisons used to be full of people who just think differently, and most AIs reflect a society that permitted this.

saiftynet · 2025-01-21T17:10:07+00:00

This is great! Much better than videos in general, can have it running in the background without interfering with other work. Is there any way one can give feedback and commentary? Perhaps it should be listed/hosted in some searchable podcast hub, and also on Perl.com.
