The Perl and Raku Conference 2024 - Las Vegas
I was fortunate enough to attend my very first in-person Perl conference this year in Las Vegas! Ironically my first real exposure to Perl...Keith's Krazy Web Site
I have a Mac M1 chip laptop.
While I have managed to install a couple of modules, most fail to install.
I tried perlbrew, but that was a struggle to even get it to install perl itself, but when it was installed it wasn't working the way I needed it to.
Just wondering if I am missing something with CPAN or if this is an issue because it's an M1 chip?

The final installment in the series:
"The-Quest-For-Performance" from my blog Killing It with #perl
Discussing #python #numpy #numba, #rstats #openMP enhancements of Perl code and #simd
Bottom line: I will not be migrating to Python anytime soon.
Food for thought: The Perl interpreter (and many of the modules) are deep down massive C programs. Perhaps one can squeeze real performance kicks by looking into alternative compilers, compiler flags and pragmas ?

The Quest for Performance Part IV : May the SIMD Force be with you
At this point one may wonder how numba, the Python compiler around numpy Python code, delivers a performance premium over numpy.Killing-It-with-PERL
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.
