I resepectfully disagree. My company has two PSGI Dancer apps running mission critical elements. They're "new" but they're absolutely production ready. Plack/PSGI has been embraced by almost everyone. I'm REALLY looking forward to playin

I switched to DDG about 3 months ago. If nothing else, the bang syntax is a huge win for me. Among my favs are !cpan !jquery !js !perldoc !php. Makes looking stuff up nice and quick.

PHP was originally a layer over Perl. It's in the first paragraph of the history. It doesn't NOW have anything to do with Perl... but it's pretty easy to see some of that history in the code.

Again. Put up or shut up. Show the stealing or retract the comment.

This kind of behaviour is an embarassment to the community. It's poison. Move along. If you claim there's stealing of code, prove it and show it. Otherwise, save this crap. You like Mojolicious. Fine. Go do that. The Dancer crew will

A fellow Perl hacker would recall that there's more than one way to do it. And the Mojolicious internals don't look like the Dancer internals.

Seriously guy? This hostility towards Dancer is silly.

The thing is, savvy folk know it's Perl and not PERL and regardless of your work, it indicates a lack of knowledge of the community.

Slight misunderstanding. It's a PHP webapp that is an ad server. Not a web server. Having seen the codebase... it's evil.

Lots of portuguese as well as many many other nationalities here. We even have a little portugal. You'd be fine here.

Aren't things like this getting just a little tired and old? You want readable Perl? 1) Go look at some better known modules on CPAN 2) Look at answers to questions on http://perlmonks.org 3) Read Effective Perl, 2ed 4) Check out chromati

Nifty. Always glad to see cross-pollination in the Ruby/Python/Perl world.

I'll start this with "I'm a Perl programmer" but I'm not looking for a flame war. I am interested in hearing an expansion of your statements. I am going to admit I don't understand this one. What do you mean by "Big Bang"? That Perl 6 is b

I would have liked to have seen "a lot less bad that it looks" replaces with "one would have been too many" and "we will work very hard to regain your trust". It's okay... but the public is their target audience! Simple phrases, big impact

I'm kinda floored by the comments on the story on NPR. Even if you don't like'em, they're managing to pull off something not everyone can. I've enjoyed Pomplamoose for a while now. Glad to see they're doing well. Then again, I guess it's

Bad comparison. The point is that you interact with berkleyDB via an SQLite interface. It's just an interface layer in this case.

This is a difficult dynamic to manage and depends really heavily on the designer and programmer involved, how good they actually are and how much they credit the others expertise. I've worked on projects at one job with a designer that was

War Perl! Interesting to see how the Perl community has really hopped on the bandwagon. Happy to see it.

I hate PHP with a passion but I think it's worth knowing about and I think the claim that "knowing C" makes it easy to interpret a PHP program is not a good assessment. Further, just knowning C doesn't mean you'll know the semantics of webd

I work with this fellow so keep in mind there's history here between us on the subject. :) "the language sucks" -- Is very much in the eye of the beholder. Perl works the way I think just as jQuery does. As for not being welcoming, I think

I'm not even a big Python fan. I don't hate it. It's just not my favourite... and every language has it's warts. I can understand the author not LIKING certain ways that Python works but I tire of philosophical differences in language des

Worked for me using both Ctrl-C and right-click copy in Firefox in Linux. Page seems to have to completely load before it works though.

You'll get that in a Perl Golf competition but the trend these days it towards much more readable and maintainable code. Which is why we have things like Moose (a better way to do objects).
