Going nuts with this regex, looking for second pair of eyesThis works and returns several files:
```
my $image_name = quotemeta('Screenshot-2024-02-23-at-1.05.14');
my $files = $wac->get_all_files_in_dir($dir . '/uploads', qr/$image_name.*\.png$/);

```

This returns no files:
```
my $image_name = quotemeta('Screenshot-2024-02-23-at-1.05.14 AM');
my $files = $wac->get_all_files_in_dir($dir . '/uploads', qr/$image_name.*\.png$/);
```

Note the space in the file name before AM.

This also returns no files:
```
my $image_name = quotemeta('Screenshot-2024-02-23-at-1.05.14\s*AM');
my $files = $wac->get_all_files_in_dir($dir . '/uploads', qr/$image_name.*\.png$/);
```

I tried with and without quotemeta and with and without /Q /E to no avail.

Is it possible the space is some kind of invisible UTF8 character? This is driving me nuts.

**UPDATE:** I jumped on regex101.com and copied and pasted in the file name from the terminal and indeed there appears to be some kind of hidden character that is not whitespace:

preview.redd.it/icpdpzxj1gid1.…

Did a hex dump of the string:

00000000 53 63 72 65 65 6E 73 68 - 6F 74 2D 32 30 32 34 2D Screenshot-2024-

Although this StackOverflow question about "islands and gaps" is titularly about Perl, the SQL answers are very nice. Apparently this is a FAQ for SQL.

However, this has bugged me for years on the CPAN side, but never enough to make me really do anthing about.

I thought there was a Perl module that did this, and it was in the context of a usenet reader that would take a list of article IDs, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 15 and return something like 1-5,7,10-11,15 as a more space-efficient store of all the articles you had read.

Every time I've looked I've stopped after 15 minutes because I get distracted and I've never really needed this except to answer someone else's question. I'm not asking how to solve this because there are plenty of algorithm tutorials out there. Surely this is on CPAN somewhere.

There are plenty of options to go the other way and to ask if a number is in one of the ranges.

I am new to this subreddit, but not new to Perl, though I've been flirting with Python for a little over two years so I'm a little out of the loop.

If I wanted to create a RESTful API using Catalyst and have my Swagger docs generated automatically, are there any toolchain recommendations that anyone can make?

Thanks.

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:
/usr/bin/docker pull perl:5.14 5.14: Pulling from library/perl [DEPRECATION NOTICE] Docker Image Format v1 and Docker Image manifest version 2, schema 1 support is disabled by default and will be removed in an upcoming release.

From this snippet in my GitHub workflows (e.g. .github/workflows/linux.yml)

A quick demo I threw togetherI 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).
