I have a strong feeling that the famous Camel Book is the worst choice when you want to learn #Perl from scratch.
I mean, I'm hundred pages in and feel like I know less Perl then before I have started the book. Wall makes Perl seem so convoluted and arbitrary, it doesn't make sense sometimes.
Maybe it's just the best book you need when you already know the language, not when you want to learn it.

This is pretty neat. Some draft notes on how to get self-hosting a web presence on #OpenBSD, starting with the httpd(8) webserver

I would have gone with #PHP ( or #Perl, which comes with the system ), but it's a great starting point

Time to thin the library of software engineering books that I no longer need or, in the case of the C++ ones, no longer (and never did) bring me joy. I doubt any charity shop will take these and I can’t just put them in recycling. If you would like any of these for the cost of postage (which for some will be sizeable), DM me. UK only, and I am in East Sussex if you wished to collect. Titles and weights in alt text. Please boost for reach and reuse! #computing #retrocomputing #books #Perl #Linux

My teenage son has never shown any interest in programming. I gave him a #Fedora Linux desktop computer a few years ago and we've used it mainly to experiment with Inkscape and GIMP, with some #Perl scripting glue. Suddenly, this summer, he has downloaded PyCharm and is using a #Python tutorial on his phone. He is going along at extraordinary speed, creating tens of little example programs and, with my help, has started constructing a murder mystery game. It’s astonishing and very gratifying!

Et voilà, the latest version of my #Perl module and script for writing to the #macOS Unified Log, no #ObjectiveC or #Swift required!

* #CPAN: metacpan.org/dist/Log-Any-Adap
* source on #Codeberg: codeberg.org/mjgardner/perl-Lo

The contributing guide tells you all you need to know about how to develop this module either with #DistZilla or without: metacpan.org/dist/Log-Any-Adap

@pouyllau #Perl (we don't add the 5 anymore since Perl 6 became #RakuLang) has definitely changed since 1999, but has thankfully retained a lot of backward compatibility.

@shiar made a great cheat sheet summary: sheet.shiar.nl/perl

Sorry to all the #dzil haters, but in the end I'm going back to Dist::Zilla for this and my other #Perl #CPAN distributions. I tried the alternatives, but they all failed me for one reason or another.

And in the end, it's just hard to argue with a negative line count delta.

The good news is that I've got it configured to maintain build/main and build/release branches that one can fork and contribute to without having to install all my dependencies.

I think I feel another blog post coming on.

Hey #CPAN authors, you have Opinions on how to best develop and package #Perl modules. What's the best way in 2025?

I've used Dist::Zilla, but there are other options that might encourage contributors who don't use it. What are they?

I'm using a plain ExtUtils::MakeMaker-based setup for metacpan.org/dist/Log-Any-Adap, but keeping prerequisites and version numbers in sync is a chore. I'd like to adopt a better workflow for my other dists.
