PSA: to get Net::SSLeay to build on a new M3 MBP I had to do export OPENSSL_PREFIX=/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/include/openssl/ to get it to build on a new M3 MBP with an OpenSSL that was installed via brew install openssl

As the conference is happening in Las Vegas right now, recordings of the talks are being posted to YouTube.

Thanks to everyone planning, sponsoring, speaking and coding in the Perl space. I appreciate you all.

My site got exploited the other week. I had a backup of my WordPress domain, so after importing the backup, most of the infected files were gone. However, some files outside the public_html folder were infected. I deleted those files, and my website loads up fine. Just wondering, is there a way I can restore those files without having my hosting company reinstall Perl?

Thx in advance.

Sorry I didn't get this out here earlier (and it's an xpost from Perlmonks), but Perl Community (parent org of the Science Perl Committee that is initiated the Science Track) is giving out a "peoples choice" award at the end of Conference Lightning Talks. It's sincere gesture from us and allows anyone to vote for anyone in the Perl community at large, as a "thank you" from us.

The Science Track talks have been great, some are even starting to come online. Thanks to everyone who made this happen, especially the TPRC Planning Committee.

I am using Selenium to obtain a numeric value from a website with code such as:

my @divwrap = $driver->find_elements('whatever', 'id'); my $return_value = $driver->find_child_element($divwrap, 'changeValue', 'class')->get_text(); 

If the value is POSITIVE, it return the plus sign, such as "+64.43"

But if the value is NEGATIVE, it returns a "wide Character" string: "" instead of the minus sign.

So the return looks like "64.43"

Interestingly, I cannot do a substitution.

If I have explicit code, such as:

my $output = "64.43" ; $output =~ s/"/\-/ ; 

... but if I try to do the same substitution on the return from the find_child_element function:

$return_value =~ s/"/\-/ ; 

Any ideas why it doesn't... and how to solve it?

This might be Perl/docker-perl#161 but if I filed this in the wrong place, let me know. Keeping these things current is the sort of thing I'd pay for.

Pulling perl images locally give the same warnings for old perl versions, although my local docker will still run them:

Hi, I recently got an offer for Senior SWE (current title at my company now) for a company that heavily utilizes Perl. I was wondering if folks from this community could offer some insight on what it's like working with Perl and also what, if any, potential long-term career implications are of becoming a Perl developer? Particularly I'm worried of pigeon-holing myself since Perl is not as heavily used in todays age and this company does not make use of modern cloud tools and deployments.

I am a Java developer (5 YOE) at a enterprise software company that is deployed in GCP. We are pretty regularly adopting new technologies so I'm gaining some valuable and relevant industry experience here but I am looking for a change and more opportunity to lead projects and mentor junior engineers.

The company seems good, great WLB, I liked the manager, and with the bonus (base is roughly the same) it would be about a ~8% TC increase plus a lot more stock (monopoly money, private RSUs).

Does anyone have experience transitioning from a Perl based company to a cloud based company with a more modern tech stack? Is this a backwards direction for me, should I continue with my Java development and instead look for opportunities that will offer more marketable skills?

Any input is appreciated, thank you for reading.
