Ukiah Danger Smith<a href="https://mycrowd.ca/users/tivasyk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tivasyk</a> Perl was one of those languages I had used a long long time ago. I abandoned it's because of the hype of other tools. I have always felt that that was an unwise decision, and that I should find an opportunity to use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perl</a> for something, to really give it a chance to see what it can do.

sebiWorking on the <a href="https://rivals.space/tags/Perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perl</a> logo learned me an important lesson about graphic design: it’s not because you ship something to production that you actually « like » it. Some people will say: « I don’t like it », but the reason you choose to ship this version is that it has been considered as the best to please the largest part of the community and serve a purpose, not necessarily that it suits your personal aesthetic preferences.<a href="https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2025/04/msg269826.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2025/04/msg269826.html</a>

Marc MimsWhat are <a class="hashtag" href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/tag/perl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#perl</a> friends doing about bug tracker spam? I can't remember the last time I got email from <a href="http://rt.cpan.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">rt.cpan.org</a> that wasn't spam. I get several per day that are.

FellI was looking for an alternative to classic shell scripts, so I timed a Hello World program in different languages for fun. I thought you might want to know:1 ms - <a href="https://ma.fellr.net/tags/Bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bash</a> 1 ms - <a href="https://ma.fellr.net/tags/Perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perl</a> 12 ms - <a href="https://ma.fellr.net/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Python</a> 33 ms - <a href="https://ma.fellr.net/tags/Go" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Go</a> (shebang calling `go run`) 38 ms - <a href="https://ma.fellr.net/tags/C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#C</a> (shebang compiling to temporary file) 61 ms - <a href="https://ma.fellr.net/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rust</a> (shebang compiling to temporary file)Needless to say that this is a highly unfair and silly comparison.

Jonathan Kamens<a href="https://federate.social/tags/Perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perl</a> DBD::mysql and the corresponding <a href="https://federate.social/tags/RHEL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RHEL</a> package have always been <a href="https://federate.social/tags/MariaDB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MariaDB</a> compatible, i.e., you could install MariaDB and DBD::mysql RPMs together. But the new DBD::mysql package in <a href="https://federate.social/tags/CentOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CentOS</a> stream can no longer be installed with MariaDB. I filed a bug (<a href="https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-88746" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-88746</a>) and <a href="https://federate.social/tags/RedHat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RedHat</a> said it's not supposed to work. Except it always has. What do you think? (Note if it doesn't work then all Perl scripts on the host that use DBD::mysql must be modified to use DBD::MariaDB instead.) <a href="https://federate.social/tags/mysql" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mysql</a>

Paul Cochrane 🇪🇺<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TIL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TIL</a>: using a version number of '0' in a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perl</a> dependency version spec means that *any* version is sufficient.Oops! I always thought that this gave the most recent version, but that's only true if the module hasn't already been installed.What's best practice to specify the "latest version" in CPAN::Meta::Spec? Is it better to use e.g. '>=X.Y.Z', where X.Y.Z is a known good minimum version number?

GeneWhew. Finally got this sorted. Here's a screenshot of a basic VCV Rack 2 patch controlled by the IAC virtual driver on my Mac. It shows the MIDI-CC > CV module connecting CC 1 (mod-wheel) with the pulse width modulation CV of the VCO and the jittery scope.The control-change is automated by this ultra simple code: <a href="https://github.com/ology/MIDI-RtController-Filter-CC/blob/main/eg/control-change.pl" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/ology/MIDI-RtController-Filter-CC/blob/main/eg/control-change.pl</a> with the command`perl eg/control-change.pl pad iac scatter`<a href="https://musician.social/tags/Perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perl</a> real-time <a href="https://musician.social/tags/MIDI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MIDI</a> <a href="https://musician.social/tags/vcvRack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vcvRack</a>

There's nothing wrong with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#perl</a> at all (although now I wonder, I didn't see it used on the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/web" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#web</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/backend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backend</a> for quite a while, is there actually a *SANE* integration with web servers available, that doesn't require forking a process for each and every request?)I'll never get how people come to think <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#python</a> could be the "modern replacement". A language that makes whitespace syntactically relevant already failed every sanity check. And it kind of proves that by incorporating exceptions in normal control flow. screw that nonsense.

Coocook.orgAt lot has changed in the last 10 years but Coocook always has been a web application based on <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Perl</a> with <a href="https://floss.social/tags/CatalystFramework" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CatalystFramework</a> and <a href="https://floss.social/tags/DBIxClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DBIxClass</a>. These frameworks didn’t move fast but proved to be rock solid! 💪 In the meantime we integrated other components like <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Bootstrap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bootstrap</a> and infrastructure like <a href="https://floss.social/tags/GitLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GitLab</a> with CI and <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Docker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Docker</a> for easier development (soon: also deployment). Fast moving <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Javascript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Javascript</a> libraries have caused many more problems than the mature Perl ecosystem.

Christos Argyropoulos MD, PhD, FASN 🇺🇸I know the feeling ...

Why settle with the second (perhaps) best language for everything when one can simply use the best language for each research task?
