I need some help with the old Perl Gunnar Hjalmarsson's Ringlink program on my site. The forms work, the database gets added to and everything seems ready to go except for the email functions that depend on sendmail.
I have tried several things, installed the CPAN dependencies the program needs, tried Auron SendEmail and other programs and have thoroughly confused myself.
There's a test installation on my site, with the admin and password are both 'test'. There are copies of the CGI files and probably what needs looking at are rlmain.pm, rlconfig.pm and sender.pm
I am running Apache 2.4.54 on Windows 10 with Strawberry Perl installed. I am using the last published version Ringlink (v3.4)
I know this is an old program and the project probably not worth pursuing, but I really would like to give this a go to get it working and would be grateful for any suggestions.

Damian on top form as always. The modules this talk is based on are, of course, all both brilliant and incredibly useful. But the thing that's really impressed me here is the way he has taken some of his modules from a couple of decades ago and replaced them with calls to LLMs. That's food for thought.

 | I was lucky enough to attend the perl and raku conference this year and had a great time meeting lots of awesome people. I am primarily a designer by trade but do code as well. At the conference, I explored a number of original depictions of the perl camel for fun and this one was my favorite. The idea was to bring a strikingly modern feel to the Perl Camel. Loose inspiration for this symbol is code llama and p****n. This design exploration felt like my way to hack something during the conference! The idea behind this simple symbol is that it could work nicely at very small sizes while still being visually clear. The font is a free open-source display font called Jaro. the first image was also a concept of placing "Perl" in the camel symbol to strengthen the association between the "perl" and the camel symbol as this may be helpful for new developers. I could spend much more time on this but thought I would share! Love it? Hate it? Let me know what you think (especially if you like it) preview.redd.it/ce8225s3dc9d1.… submitted by /u/North-Clue-2313 |
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:
$ docker pull perl:5.14 5.14: Pulling from library/perl Image docker.io/library/perl:5.14 uses outdated schema1 manifest format. Please upgrade to a schema2 image for better future compatibility. More information at https://docs.docker.com/registry/spec/deprecated-schema-v1/ Here's what I'm getting today from GitHub Actions. Sure, I see all sort of warnings to upgrade node, but nothing about this change:

 | I threw together a quick proof of concept for myself writing out a very simple Entity Component System (ECS) and implementing the flocking simulation on top of it. I liked how it came together so well I wrote some prose around it and decided to share. Note: this is using features from the soon-to-be-released 5.40.0 (RC1 dropped last Friday). submitted by /u/perigrin |
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.
