Cross platform GUI apps in Perl, great tutorial: https://www.reiniermaliepaard.nl/prima/
I really got into programming, naively, thanks to #Perl. But I’ve had a long run in teaching programming and systems which was learnt from the fun, humor, clever examples, and irreverence of the Schwarz Perl5 camel book. Jokes I still remember 25 years later.
Update! This was actually by Wall, Tom Christiansen, and Jon Orwant.
Sample: “now, as it happens, Jacob had four wives. (Don’t try this at home.)“… “We’d like to pretend that Jacob’s four wives were really one wife. Don’t try this at home, either.)“
Gonna build a #CPAN testing VM with #DragonflyBSD. Any gotchas that my fedihomies think that a seasoned Unixhead should know about?

Sooo, remember my most boosted post of #wrapstodon 2025?
I'm still unemployed, now facing moving out of France by the end of April.
Recap: jack of all trades #Linux sysadmin, with broad, 10y+ experience in system and applications administration. Preferred location would be #Strasbourg or fully remote or as a mentee for #freelance with #ADHD.

Hi everyone,
This is a first attempt to try out Delta Chat as a group chat, for example for people interested in #perl to exchange ideas and talk with each other.
At the moment there are only two of us:
@castaway and me (@leobm).
If you'd like to join and try it out, feel free to come by!
Here is the group link:
#Gemini is killing me: I asked it to contrast the object oriented systems in #rstats and #perl and the surprising (I know ZERO about OO #rstats) is that the S6 classes are equivalent to Moo or the class feature in #perl (so learn that first I guess), but one should be using S3!!
#Gemini is killing me:
Contrast #rstats and #perl object oriented systems. Which ones in one language are similar to others in the other language. Highlight both similarities and differences. Which object system in R is easier for someone who comes from a Perl background to learn and use initially? Which one after one has become proficient in R ?
Surprisingly the S6 classes are equivalent to Moo or the class feature in #perl c5.38+ (so learn that first I guess), but one should be using S3!!

Perl Weekly Challenge 364's tasks are "Decrypt String" and "Goal Parser". Because task 2's second example is decidedly a tribute to Andrés Cantor, that meant I needed to think "soccer" when I was thinking about the music this week...

Perlweekly #763 - Is WhatsApp the new IRC?
No, But I don’t really use IRC anymore either. But I definitely won’t start using WhatsApp.
Why not just find a Matrix or XMPP server instead, or run our own?
Or simply create a Signal group. I also find Delta Chat technically quite interesting too.
In my opinion, Delta Chat would actually fit in quite well with the Perl philosophy.
Since the messenger is based on the email standard.
#perl
A few days ago I tried to build some perls with 32 bit ints and 128 bit floats. Cue test failures. Today I tried again, and this time I read my notes from last time on how to do it, and it Just Works.
Yay past me!
(the #BigInt modules bundled with some versions of perl don't like that combination of data sizes; the solution is to ignore their test failures, install anyway, and then upgrade to the latest versions from the #CPAN)
I have released a new version of App::CpanDak, my sub-class of App::cpanminus / cpanm with "some sort of distroprefs"
You could already apply patches, skip tests, and set environment variables, to any distribution you installed; now you can augment version specifications.Some::Fancy::Library has released a new version 1.3.4 that doesn't install cleanly? add a Some-Fancy-Library.options.yml with:
