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;

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!

sealed.pm implements dougm’s original patch to compile method lookups for typed lexicals:

https://www.perl.com/pub/2000/06/dougpatch.html/

v5.1.5 on CPAN resolves longstanding reentrancy issues.

Internally sealed always relied on an undocumented method in B::Generate to construct the replacement B::PADOP opcode, but internally it’s invoking newPADOP, which leaves the associated padname unaddressed.

This causes segfaults in Perl_pad_push reliably, when it indexes that padname element.

In v5.1.5, the padname gets created by an XS subroutine, which does the needful.

Notes on Doug's Method Lookup Patch

Since 1997 Perl.com has published articles about the Perl programming language, its culture and community.

^Perl.com

Is there a module that can facilitate writing something similar to DBI, where one uses a common API for many different tools, swapping one for another but keeping the rest of of the program intact ? The non OO way is that of a dispatch table, but I want to elevate my OO a bit, and allow registration of components without touching the main application.

Hi all.

I'm currently working as a PHP Developer, and I want to learn something new, because I've been developing in PHP for 7 years.

My current tech leader is a super senior developer with around 25 years of experience developing software, and he said his main programming language is Perl, and he worked with it so many years and so many projects, also he said he could teach me Perl in an advanced way if I wanted to.

So i have this opportunity to learn Perl from a professional with a lot of experience.

The only thing stops me, is that I know that Perl jobs are not that common, at least not as PHP jobs.

But something that motivates me is learning a new technology and apply it.

I know there are a lot of JS and Python jobs, but I don't really like those languages, I would prefer Java or C#.

This is my situation, should I invest this time into learning Perl if I want to expand my market opportunities?

Greetings!

Hi,

Can anyone help explain to me why this is failing? I am trying to install Env::C and it seems to me that it is failing because of a leak test. Am I reading that right?
