My client would like the package files in their project encrypted to protect the source code.

I have spent at this stage around 50 hours trying various cpan modules and its just not working, i also tried compiling an exe which also just fails.

Project is running apache2.2/perl5.10/mod_perl 2.0.4 and the majority of cpan modules fail to install for some or other reason

Please help me, are any alternatives to these methods, the documentation and online resources are slim.

The project runs on a local windows environment so the files are easily accesible.

The project is also a big mess so dependencies and libraries are a bit hard to pin down.

Is there a common way or best practice, for creating a HTML "checkbox" form field and marking it checked?

This is what I started using:

print qq{ <input type="checkbox" name="fieldName" value="1" @{ ($fieldValues{fieldName}) ? 'checked="checked"' : '' } /> };

One of the reasons I keep dropping hints about #perlffi , #pdl and #openmp is that one can literally have five multithreading frameworks in the same #perl application of a master process: 1) PDL, and FFI intefacing with 2) #Fortran coarrays, 3) Fortran openmp, 4) #c openmp and 5) #cplusplus #openmp. All these frameworks can share memory addresses for array and vector objects, and #perl aided by #PerlAlien makes the authoring of the high-level code a pleasure ! hgpu.org/?p=29403

SlapbirdAPM now generically supports DBI!Hey friends, a few weeks back we introduced SlapbirdAPM (an open-source Perl application performance monitor), and received some great feedback from the community!

Today we'd like to announce that you are now able to track DBI queries in your applications (only available for Dancer2 and Mojolicious for now), regardless of your database, ORM, etc. Here's what it looks like! You can see the dancer2 code that generated these queries here.

This is just one of the many monitoring features provided by SlapbirdAPM, hopefully you find them as useful as we do! And a reminder we have a *forever* free tier available for everyone!

Since the language formerly known as Perl 6 has officially gone off on its own, has there been any effort to implement a true Perl 5 successor?

In my opinion, Raku tried to do too much with the syntax itself, scaled Perl's flexibility to infinity, and made itself unusable.

Perl 5 does not need much for it to become a "modern" language. Instead of extending the flexibility of the syntax, the direction for Perl 6 should emphasize standardizing core utilities to facilitate integration with modern workflows.

- Package/module management and import/export could benefit from streamlining
- Stronger LSP and debug/error tooling (Rust has spoiled me)
- "Prettier" auto-formatting for source code (For those 30yo system scripts, you know the ones I mean)

What would be on your wishlist?
