I'm new tp Perl, and got some questions about cpan. If it's a package manager, how to remove a package it installed? And i don't quite follow the info when downloading a package, the info seems to be compiling package? Or just ignore all of them as long as it works?

Hi,
I am writing an Alien file to install the pipx package manager in a somewhat portable way (the package manager can be installed in as many different ways, as the number of operating systems out there ) , and I was wondering if there is a better way to do so than the following hack
use alienfile; use strict; use warnings; ## dummy probe for a system install probe sub { 'system'; }; ## check that pipx is actually installed my $has_pipx; my $cmd = `pipx --version`; chomp $cmd; $has_pipx = $cmd =~/[0..9\.]+/ ; unless($has_pipx) { ## OS specific install instructions } 1; The reason I'd like to do it via Alien is because I am writing an application with numerous external dependencies, some of which can be installed by downloading and building C/Rust/C++ apps from source, but others are (vomit) python modules and I would like to use a consistent way to handle non-perl dependencies.

Hi all! I am looking for companies currently hiring Perl developers. So far I found only a couple of them (booking, 17hats) and I was wondering if anybody knows others? Possibly in EU, but remote is also good. Thank you!

So hear me out...
This idea is stupid. But on Star Trek (VOY, TNG, and DS9 at least), they measured their data as "quads". ( memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Q… ). This was never defined because it's just Sci-Fi and doesn't need a real definition. But... what if they're quad-floats aka 128bit floating point values. This would mean then that all the storage could be done as LLM or other neural network style models, and vector embeddings and such. Given what we've got today with transformer style models for doing translation, chat, etc. If you had ultrapowerful computers that could do these calculations with such gigantic precision then you'd be able to store very accurate data and transform it back and forth from vector embeddings and other fancy structures. It'd enable very powerful searches, and the kind of analysis we're trying to use LLMs for and see them use in the shows when talking to the computers. This would also explain a lot about the universal translators from ENG onward, and could even help make sense of Darmok and Jalad at Tenagra. And then Voyager even has bio-neural circuitry for doing things faster, some kind of organic analog computing doing stuff "at the edge". Using weights and embeddings to do things with them and have them react by programming them with a machine learning model at each node could easily explain how that could work too.
This idea honestly feels too stupid to be real but it could explain so much.
