I would be interested to know why you chose Perl and how long you have been using it and what for.
I have just returned to Perl after many years away, think decades rather than a couple of years. Consider me a noob as I've long forgotten anything I knew about the language.
I run a small home webserver, Apache on Windows 10 with Strawberry Perl, and recently started some projects starting with moving away with things like Google Analytics and going back to some old log analyzers such as AWStats, which is still being maintained, and W3Perl, which is not. Even more recently I have started using Ringlink.
Perl is still being developed, Strawberry, Active State, CPAN etc. but lost out to PHP and Python. Just like COBOL, I can easily imagine thousands of systems depend on Perl.

Download & Install Perl - ActiveState
Download Perl 5.32 and 5.28 from ActiveState & get precompiled Perl distribution. ActiveState Perl is free to download.ActiveState
Have been using the official MongoDB driver to date (https://metacpan.org/dist/MongoDB) but its obviously EOL and now I can't get it to work with perl v.540 on OSX.
For those interested it fails on BSON::XS and I cannot force install either.

A couple of data/compute intensive examples using Perl Data Language (#PDL), #OpenMP, #Perl, Inline and #Python (base, #numpy, #numba). Kind of interesting to see Python eat Perl's dust and PDL being equal to numpy.
OpenMP and Perl's multithreaded #PDL array language were the clear winners here.

The Quest for Performance Part I : Inline C, OpenMP and PDL
Sometimes, one’s code must simply perform and principles, such as aeasthetics, “cleverness” or commitment to a single language solution simply go out of the window.Killing-It-with-PERL

This is the frame body I was using:
our $frame_body = $mw->Frame(-background => $color_theme_bg, -foreground => $color_theme_fg)->pack(-side => 'top'); And I have many widgets like labels, dropdowns, buttons, etc... within that frame like below:
$frame_body ->Label( -text => "@_", -font => $arial_font, -foreground => $color_theme_fg, -background => $color_theme_bg, -highlightthickness => 0, -takefocus => 0, -relief => "flat", -justify => 'center', )-> grid( -column => $mw_col_ctr, -row => $mw_row_ctr, -sticky => "nsew", ); May someone help me the best way to apply a "vertical scroll bar" on the right side of this frame?
Its also nice if automatically adjust incase I manually resize the window. 😀

- Add tests for error parameters.
- Rewrite the tests so that the functional tests are first and then the errors.
