Perl Weekly=20

http://perlweekly.com/

You can read the newsletter on the web, if you prefer.
http://perlweekly.com/archive/503.html



Hi,

A long time ago I participated in many discussions about the Perl community
and how to bring in more people to it, but nowadays I am not sure what that
subject would cover. Others are discussing it.

As for me, I try to help people whether it is with knowledge about Perl,
other programming languages, or other technologies. I hope sometimes my
work is useful to others as well. Which brings me to the recent seesion I
had with FErki in which he helped me and the other participants get started
with automation using Rex ( https://code-maven.com/automation-with-rex ).
Next week we are going to have another session (
https://code-maven.com/elk-with-rex ) to which you are invited.

Enjoy your week!

dancer, along with a bunch of their plugins. Or how you could instead use
the State Tool, with the ActiveState Platform to make things easy. Watch

WebService::Fake update
https://github.polettix.it/ETOOBUSY/2021/03/08/webservice-fake-update/
=20
One of the virtues of Perl is the long backward compatibility, but the
developers of Mojolicious play by a different ruleset. They are ready to
break backward compatibility to allow for development. It certainly has a
disadvantage when it bites you, but maybe that's a better choice than
being stuck with features that could be provided in a better way, or that
were just plain wrong even when they were introduced. Perl has plenty of
both. By being ready to pay the price of incompatible changes Mojolicious
can clean up those issues.

The Perl debugger can be your superpower
https://dev.to/mjgardner/the-perl-debugger-can-be-your-superpower-2d3o

I can totally agree that the Perl debugger is an awesome tool and knowing
it will give you new powers. A long time ago I even recorded a few videos
about using the Perl debugger (
https://perlmaven.com/using-the-built-in-debugger-of-perl ), but now that
I look at it, well, I guess I should record a better version of it.

Don't be a Perl programmer
https://dev.to/davorg/don-t-be-a-perl-programmer-4h2d
=20
This post has two main points IMHO unfortunately mixed. One is that by
focusing too much on being a 'Perl programmer' many of us have and still
miss out on a lot of great things knowing other languages can offer. Not
just employment opportunities, but by knowing other languages you can
become better at Perl as well. The other point felt by some people as an
attack on the 'Perl programmers Facebook group' which, I think was
unfortunate. In any case I wholeheartadly recommend you read it and
diversify your knowledge.

the Perl community, but I don't know if this writing is related or not.

Violence at Home - Signal for Help

Recently I saw a video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D_5VQD58UroQ )
about a way to allow people to signal for help when they cannot say it
aloud. And then another one ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DAFLZEQFIm=
7k
). While this won't solve the problem of domestic violance, it might help
a few people and it might create some more awareness. As this is an
international community, it would be nice if you could help by
translating the Wikipedia page to your language.

Hi,


=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20


A long time ago I participated in many discussions about the Perl c=
ommunity and how to bring in more people to it, but nowadays I am not sure =
what that subject would cover. Others are discussing it.


=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20


As for me, I try to help people whether it is with knowledge about =
Perl, other programming languages, or other technologies. I hope sometimes =
my work is useful to others as well. Which brings me to the recent seesion =
I had with FErki in which he helped me and the other participants =3D"https://code-maven.com/automation-with-rex">get started with automation=
using Rex
. Next week we are going to have n.com/elk-with-rex">another session to which you are invited.


=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20


Enjoy your week!

One of the virtues of Perl is the long backward compatibil=
ity, but the developers of Mojolicious play by a different ruleset. They ar=
e ready to break backward compatibility to allow for development. It certai=
nly has a disadvantage when it bites you, but maybe that's a better choice =
than being stuck with features that could be provided in a better way, or t=
hat were just plain wrong even when they were introduced. Perl has plenty o=
f both. By being ready to pay the price of incompatible changes Mojolicious=
can clean up those issues.

This post has two main points IMHO unfortunately mixed. On=
e is that by focusing too much on being a 'Perl programmer' many of us have=
and still miss out on a lot of great things knowing other languages can of=
fer. Not just employment opportunities, but by knowing other languages you =
can become better at Perl as well. The other point felt by some people as a=
n attack on the 'Perl programmers Facebook group' which, I think was unfort=
unate. In any case I wholeheartadly recommend you read it and diversify you=
