Hey folks, how do I assign the result of split() to a hash-key?

my $str ='a,b,c'; my $result = {str => split(',' $str)};

Results in: str = 'a'

Has anyone tried Intel's OneAPI compiler suite to compile and use Perl? I mention OneAPI because it is available for free now (on Ubuntu, etc). I plan to give it a shot, I'd like to extended Alien::OpenMP to support it depending on how easy it is to compile perl with it.

Does anybody remember this phrase featuring in an old story about clueless admins who banned Perl? Phil Pennock on the zsh dev mailing list knew the phrase in 1999 but I can’t find any other references to it zsh.org/mla/workers//1999/msg0…

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?
