Christos Argyropoulos, MD, PhD. (you know him here!) is our moderator for this virtual event, which is December 18th, 2024 - Perl's 37th birthday! At this event we will be announcing our Summer 2025 plans, which will include a 3rd Issue of the SPJ.
We have author 6 committments from some very exciting topics, but we want more! The Summer Issue has 8 authors and is nearly 150 pages. We are looking to double the number of authors, doubling the number of pages is going to be a stretch 😀.
Click here to submit your paper proposal.
Note:
In case this was not clear, I stated it so in this most recent post at BPO:
If you ever wanted to be a published Perl author, here is your chance - the Science Perl Journal issues have their own ISBNs, papers will be getting their own DOIs, and all contributors are listed as co-authors of the Issue in which they appear.
You may reach out to us on #science on irc . perl . org or on Dr. Adam Russell's very active and awesome, Perl Applications & Algorithms discord server.

Hello. I have the following program.
#!/usr/bin/perl sub print_user_input { my $input = <STDIN>; print $input; } sub mock_user_input { local *STDIN; open STDIN, '<', \"this is fake user input\n"; print_user_input(); } mock_user_input(); __END__ $ perl ./scratch.pl this is fake user input I have successfully used the pattern displayed in the
mock_user_input subroutine to test some user interfacing code I have. However I cannot wrap my head around how this actually works. What exactly does *STDIN mean and why does it need to be localized? Why are we passing a string reference as the third argument to open here? A detailed explanation of this code would be helpful for me. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/nicholas_hubbard

Guys, Perl is famous for backwards compatibility. What is the oldest bit of perl use that is still relevant that you have heard of?

I would like to know whether function which takes complex data structure of N depth, performs ANY changes on it. Should I Dumper() before and after, use tied hashes/arrays, or some other clever technique?

My client would like the package files in their project encrypted to protect the source code.
I have spent at this stage around 50 hours trying various cpan modules and its just not working, i also tried compiling an exe which also just fails.
Project is running apache2.2/perl5.10/mod_perl 2.0.4 and the majority of cpan modules fail to install for some or other reason
Please help me, are any alternatives to these methods, the documentation and online resources are slim.
The project runs on a local windows environment so the files are easily accesible.
The project is also a big mess so dependencies and libraries are a bit hard to pin down.
