[Patrick Haller]

Hey all,

Glad to put some faces to names on Saturday. I've written up some of the
things I've tried to do with perl at:

http://haller.ws/logs/view.cgi/SwigPerl/ using SWIG to make slow perl
code fast

http://haller.ws/logs/view.cgi/PerlStandardizedRuntime/ creating a
runtime that exists the same for all your scripts

trying to avoid line noise illegibility of regular expressions
http://haller.ws/logs/view.cgi/ExposingPerlRegexps/ (v1)
http://haller.ws/logs/view.cgi/LegiblePerlRegexps/ (v2)

http://haller.ws/logs/view.cgi/PerlLegibility/ more readable perl?

http://haller.ws/logs/view.cgi/ToxicCode/ a presentation on legible perl

fixing tiny annoyances
http://haller.ws/logs/view.cgi/Perl5ShiftAnnoyance/
http://haller.ws/logs/view.cgi/PerlInspectors/

fun with perl and shell
http://haller.ws/logs/view.cgi/FilterInACan/

using a source filter to assign right in perl

Let me know what you think. I find it super useful to treat a blog like
an engineering log, just put the stuff in there that you're working on.

Does anyone else blog about perl?

Patrick

And photographs to faces, which I'll blog about Any Day Now. :)

Oh wow, that's a lot of links to go over! Hooray, stuff to read :).
Expect comments.

Agreed, particularly half-ideas or suggestions that somebody else can
get excited about and work on. Documenting stuff is great, too [1] - I
can't count the number of times I've found a bug documented in someone
else's blog.

I signed up to the Iron Man of Perl contest [2], so I _ought_ to be,
but I haven't in a very long time now [3]. Iron Man is brilliant,
though, and the Planet page itself is on my very-frequently-read list
[4]. I'd encourage everybody who blogs about Perl to sign up!

cheers,
Gaurav
