Ricardo Signes commented on 20 modules i haven’t yet talked about Very cool! How long did you take to deliver this talk? any(5,20)->minutes? 2 years ago
Ricardo Signes commented on Learning Perl 6 (NPW 2007) "say 3" isn’t an indirect method call, is it? that would have to be written "say: 3" 2 years ago
Ricardo Signes commented on Ruby for Perl Programmers This talk seems like a good idea, but needs some editing. I don’t know in what way you could say that Perl has a "minimalist philosophy" or that it doesn’t have "true closures." To say that Ruby has "better #{} support" makes no sense, since #{} is Ruby syntax. Maybe you mean "better string interpolation"? 2 years ago
Ricardo Signes commented on Perl 5.10 for People Who Aren’t Totally Insane The slides showing how awful it can be to have to manage your own inside-out objects are not intended to be a robust explanation of how to force yourself to suffer through it, but an overview of the various levels of annoyance that heap up without fieldhashes. 3 years ago

Ricardo Signes commented on Perl 5.10 for People Who Aren’t Totally Insane I have no idea what that Python/Ruby comment means. Are any of these features, except maybe named regex captures, inspired by Python or Ruby? Not that I can think of. I think there are plenty of good ideas to steal from Python and Ruby, but these aren’t those. Meanwhile, there are plenty of good ideas for those languages to steal from Perl. 3 years ago
Ricardo Signes commented on Antediluvian Unix: A Guide to Unix Fundamentals Weird! Contact slideshare’s support. I have no idea why that isn’t working. 3 years ago
Ricardo Signes commented on Perl 5.10 for People Who Aren’t Totally Insane use 5.010; sub foo { state $x = 100; $x = $x + 1; say $x; } foo() for 1 .. 10; The above program demonstrates that my slides are correct and perlsub is wrong. I will try to send a patch to p5p. 3 years ago
Ricardo Signes commented on Perl 5.10 for People Who Aren’t Totally Insane 5.9.5 is the current development release. To get the closest thing to a released 5.10, check out http://dev.perl.org/perl5/docs/perlhack.html#Keeping_in_sync I *am* glad we have Ruby and Python. Well, mostly Ruby. I don’t see how they make me likely to get rid of Perl, though. Perl remains the most useful programming language in my toolbox. 3 years ago
