Hey, #perl devs. Do you use DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader? Do you also use Perl::Tidy? You can get disappointed if Perl::Tidy reformats the dbic files, so drop this in your .perltidyrc to stop that:

Ignore DBIC-generated content

--format-skipping-begin='#(<<<| DO NOT MODIFY THE FIRST PART OF THIS FILE)'
--format-skipping-end='#(>>>| DO NOT MODIFY THIS OR ANYTHING ABOVE!)'

All you nutcases still using #Perl, what's actually wrong with it?

aka What are the sharp edges?

#Perl, #Smalltalk, and #Lisp are three powerful programming languages that share a common feature.

Nobody knows how the hell to capitalize them.

If any #Perl #XS gurus want to take a look at a small bug in some code I wrote, I'd appreciate it. https://github.com/Ovid/unset-vars/issues/1

#Copilot just wrote the following #Perl code for me, complete with the comment, which is correct.

my $UNINIT = bless => {}, 'Uninitialized::Vars::Variable';
sub uninit () { $UNINIT }
sub is_uninit ($var) { $var == $UNINIT } # XXX: This is wrong

So, I know it's sacrilege to make your own "Build System", but for fun, I decided to give it a go.

It's made up of 3 #Perl scripts:

• build.pl: Builds the project
• clean.pl: Cleans up artifacts
• install.pl: Installs artifacts where they need to go in the system.

build.pl was the most complicated, but that's not saying much, it was incredibly easy to make and it's small. It even supports parallel jobs and not rebuilding an object if the source file is older than the object.

I just wasted 1hr, because I used == instead of eq and 'and' instead of && in #perl

Anyone here have experience updating a Dockerized Perl application? Specifically I am looking for help upgrading the app from 5.26 to 5.30 and how to rectify errors where some libraries (I think?) were built for Perl 5.26 and won't work under 5.30?

Lol, #perl and #raku folks, I made a funny (in bash!)

#!/usr/bin/env bash

#Smart CD - uses my ulocate script and fzf to jump to any directory found within my home directory

set -u #treat undeclared variables as errors

function warn {
echo "$" >&2
}
function swoon { # (something in between a warn and a die ;)
warn "$"
exit 0
}
function die {
warn "$*"
exit 1
}
