Perl 5.10 is great for parsing

Perl 6 is even more

Named captures in 5.10’s regexes

Grammars in Perl 6

Examples in Perl 5.10 (5.12)

my $sentence = qr/ ^ (?: $Infolavka::Search::Grammar::how_many s (?<to> $currency ) s $Infolavka::Search::Grammar::convert s (?: (?<amount> $Infolavka::Search::Grammar::number ) s )? (?<from> $currency ) )| (?: (?: (?<amount> $Infolavka::Search::Grammar::number ) s )? (?<from> $currency ) s $Infolavka::Search::Grammar::equal )| (?: (?: $rate s )? (?: (?<amount> $Infolavka::Search::Grammar::number ) s? )? (?<from> $currency ) (?: s (?: $Infolavka::Search::Grammar::convert s )? (?<to> $currency ) )? ) $ /xop;

(?<amount> $Search::Grammar::number ) s? )? (?<from> $currency) (?: s (?: $Search::Grammar::convert s )? (?<to> $currency ) )?

(?<amount> $Search::Grammar::number ) s? )? (?<from> $currency) (?: s 100 £ in € (?: $Search::Grammar::convert s )? (?<to> $currency ) )?

(?<amount> 100 $Search::Grammar::number ) s? )? (?<from> $currency) £ (?: s (?: $Search::Grammar::convert in s )? )? (?<to> $currency ) €

Examples in Perl 6

grammar TestGrammar { rule TOP { ^ <sign>? <digit>+ $ } token sign { '-' | '+' } token digit { <[0..9]> } }

while my $string = prompt('> ') { if TestGrammar.parse($string) { say "OK"; } else { say "Failed"; } }

grammar CurrencyGrammar { rule TOP { ^ <rate_question> $ } rule rate_question { 'rate of' <currency_code> } token currency_code { <[A..Z]> ** 3 } }

my $result = CurrencyGrammar.parse($string); if $result { say "OK"; say $<rate_question><currency_code>; }

grammar CurrencyGrammar { rule TOP { ^ <rate_question> $ } rule rate_question { 'rate of'? <currency_code> [<ws> 'to' <ws> <currency_code>]? } token currency_code { <[A..Z]> ** 3 } }

my $result = CurrencyGrammar.parse($string); if $result { say "OK"; my ($from, $to) = $<rate_question><currency_code>; say "$from -> $to"; }

grammar CurrencyGrammar { rule TOP { ^ <rate_question> $ } rule rate_question { 'rate of'? <ws> <money> [<ws> 'to' <currency_code>]? } rule money { [<value> <ws>]? $<code>=(<currency_code>) } token value { <[0..9]>+ } token currency_code { <[A..Z]> ** 3 } }

say "OK"; my $value = $<rate_question><money><value> || 1; my $from = $<rate_question><money><code>; my $to = $<rate_question><currency_code> || 'EUR'; say "$value, $from -> $to";

rule money { [<value> <ws>]? $<code>=(<currency_code>) }

rule money { [<value> <ws>]? <code=currency_code> }

my %rate = EUR => 1, USD => 0.7564, LVL => 1.4116, RUB => 0.02539, PHP => 0.01676, UAH => 0.09587 ; my $codes = %rate.keys.join('|'); say $codes;

my $value = ~$<rate_question><money><value> || 1; my $from = $<rate_question><money><code>; my $to = $<rate_question><currency_code> || 'EUR'; my $ratio = 0 + %rate{~$from} / %rate{~$to}; say $ratio * $value; :-/

Workers are scalable

Run any number you need

Run on remote servers

Application only talks with gearmand server

Application only talks with gearmand server (one or more)

One or more application

One or more application Applications throw jobs

One or more job servers

One or more job servers Job servers dispatch jobs

One or more workers

One or more workers (clones or different)

One or more workers Workers do jobs

One or more workers Workers do jobs and may issue new jobs

Scalable also means redundant

Really need Gearman?

Really need Gearman? No!

Use HTTP servers instead
