I am quite thrilled to announce that after several months of hard work, I have released the perl module DateTime::Format::Intl. It mirrors its JavaScript equivalent of Intl.DateTimeFormat. The algorithm is quite elaborate, replicating how it works in web browsers. I also had to develop quite a few dependencies to make it work, notably Locale::Unicode and Locale::Unicode::Data, which provides access to all the Unicode CLDR (Common Locale Data Repository) data as an SQLite database via an extensive number of perl methods. I hope it will benefit you and supports you in the internationalisation of your projects in perl.

Hey, I am writting in perl since few years I have written lots of stuff over the years however would consider myself more beginner, I love syntax and the fact that perl is almost on every linux. My main usecase is system scripting/parallelizing tasks/ some API clients.

I have felt in love threads::queue and inotify2 implementation and use them very frequently.

Module management - What is more nowadays standard to manage them?

I use cpan, or download module from cpan and execute perl makefile or later generated C Makefile.

However sometimes struggle:

Last example that comes to my mind:

I want to create simple app that interacts with cassandra and any module I try to gather is based on deprecated IO::Sockets::INET6 - also have disabled ipv6 and not able to build it. Is there any package manager that ships modules in some more portable formats?

If I build module that for example needs some .so that is bound to kABI [Inotify2] I push them to system perllib path. I understand that it is based on kABI and need to recompile with kernel-headers. But is there any more portable solution. My feeling is that on python side managing pkgs with pip is easier.
