Visual Exploration of Perl Camel at TPRC 24 ConferenceI 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)

PSA: to get Net::SSLeay to build on a new M3 MBP I had to do export OPENSSL_PREFIX=/opt/homebrew/opt/openssl/include/openssl/ to get it to build on a new M3 MBP with an OpenSSL that was installed via brew install openssl

As the conference is happening in Las Vegas right now, recordings of the talks are being posted to YouTube.

Thanks to everyone planning, sponsoring, speaking and coding in the Perl space. I appreciate you all.

Hi all,

Nelson Ferraz has been working with generative AI for a while. I've started collaborating with him on his OpenAI modules. He wrote a module named OpenAI::API, but it required manually writing the code for all of the behavior. With the size of the OpenAI API, the rapid evolution, of said API, the birth of new models and the deprecation of old models, this approach turned out to be unmaintainable.

Thus, that module was deprecated in favor of Nelson's OpenAPI::Client::OpenAI module. Throw the 13K+ lines OpenAPI spec for OpenAI at it and it just works. Further, the module is pretty much a single Perl class rather than a bunch of hand-crafted code.

CPAN authors know it can be hard to keep modules up-to-date (mea culpa, mea culpa!) and this module is no exception. I need this module so I offered to collaborate and created a PR to update it to version 2.0.0 of the OpenAI spec. It now passes all the tests (for those wondering, you need an OpenAI key and it costs $0.04 USD to run the test suite).

In trying to build a Whisper pipeline for that, I found that I couldn't. There was a PR for Whisper support for the older module, but for the newer one, I can't figure out how to get it to issue a request with multipart/form-data support. I've noted the issue in the PR.

If anyone would like to see OpenAI support for Perl, we would dearly love to collaborate with you to make this happen.
