One move and my sites lost organic hits. What did I do wrong? by IcyHotStuntazin web_design

If you type in timepieces.com, you get sent to the folder \root\timepieces\index.html

Sounds like he already has it.

Perl beginner - need help on file arranging script by Dreddyin perl

[–]flamey 2 points3 points ago

Perl on Windows is fine, even great, and for things like that is as good as it is on *nix platforms. most modules are cross-platform, and plus there are Windows-specific modules.

Search CPAN/MetaCPAN for modules to work with files (getting list, traversing through directories recursively, etc.). you'd need to know Perl's hashes and arrays, read up on references in Perl (and de-referencing). and you'll definitely want to know some (at least basic) regexes for this.

Multilingual website. Language selection page or detection? by AAtticusin web_design

[–]flamey 0 points1 point ago

I think as long as it's not auto-detection based on IP or local settings either one is fine. I have to say that personally I don't mind splash screens, but do they are not there. But many people I know don't know where to look for "switch language" link/option.

What is your favourite online web-framework for Perl and why? by theirfRedditin perl

[–]flamey 4 points5 points ago

Mojolicious, but I use older versions, pre-version-2, because in 2.0 they bumped min Perl req't to 5.10, and all lower cost virtual web hosting companies have 5.8 installed.

Perl application development for cheap web-hosting by junk_account123in perl

[–]flamey 0 points1 point ago

Another option is to use Mojolicious with any virtual hosting. You'll be limited to version 1.99, because they've bumped the requirements to Perl 5.10 starting Mojolicious 2.0, but it's quite mature at 1.99 to write serious web apps. Mojolicious is quite popular and has good documentation (though it being developed rapidly, and I think they update docs for the latest version too).

Dancer is also popular, and it's similar to Mojolicious in many ways. Though I know nothing about other that it exists, and it's also relatively popular.

Injecting named variables into a lambda by alexdodgein perl

I'm not sure I understand everything you're saying. but you don't really need to assign values from @_ to local variables -- you can use $_[0], $_[1], ... don't modify them, though, that will get original values modified.

European redditors: As Europe is a popular tourist destination, what tourist habits drive you nuts? by fwuzzlein europe

actually, I've never been to UAE and know very little about it, but I've lived in US and I'm pretty sure it's nothing like those unions.

btw, I'm from Russia, I've been to Slovakia few years back, and I loved it :) hoping to visit again for the Ice Hockey WC this year!

there appears to be several modules on search.cpan.org that claim they can do this. Sys::Info::Device::CPU, Sys::CPU .. just search for "cpu"

I think its a good idea. Make sure to support as much sites to embed from. Add tags for filtering/categorization. Add search. Keep it Perl, minimize off-topic content. Change to UTF-8 to allow multilingual content (description, comments, etc). Get those comments done... A lot of work ahead :-)

Contributing to CPAN: PAUSE Id, Bug Tracking, and Code Repositories by chornyin perl

I know now. But when I started, no article I found through google mentioned that.

Contributing to CPAN: PAUSE Id, Bug Tracking, and Code Repositories by chornyin perl

[–]flamey 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Last week I wanted to add a small module to CPAN for the first time. I wrote the module and documentation, tested it thoroughly. I figured my first module will be available on CPAN tomorrow - yay! A week later it still isn't there...

  1. First it took 6 days for PAUSE id to get approved. So, if you even thinking that maybe one day you'll want to contribute to CAPN - apply for PAUSE ID now :-)

Then turns out CPAN is not very Windows friendly.

  1. You need to pack your module as .tar.gz. 7-Zip did it in two steps, but I had to install it. I hate installing shit on my PC that I'll only be using once or twice.

  2. I takes 3 days! to delete a file from CPAN - wtf? I understand you want to give ppl an option to undelete it, but implement it in such a way that, if I do delete it because I wanted to, I can upload fixed file without having to wait for three days.

  • first, I forgot to all version to the archive. very few of the "Contributing to cpan" articles mention this, even though it's a widespread practice. so, i figure I fix it...
  • then I forgot to pack it so it unpacks into a single directory - another thing nobody mentions. when I usually pack something up for myself i only pack contents of a directory. so, I had to bump the version in all files that included it just so the .tar.gz file name is now different, just so I can upload it the same day. finally when I got that fixed...
  • it failed again, because "The distribution contains the .. world writable directories or files and is therefore considered a security breach and as such not being indexed"................. there's no native way to fix this on Windows or with 7-zip. Only after getting stuck with this I found someone having the same issue and provided Perl solution, but all that is too much shit for submitting 30 lines of potentially useful to someone code.

CPAN did provide a "fixed" version of that last issue (the linke worked for only short period of time, but good thing I checked email shortly after submitting and was able to download the file). So, now I'm done fucking with it and just waiting for the files to be deleted from my account so I can upload "fixed" version, hoping it will finally take it.

After all that I know what to expect next time, but right now I feel like I don't think I'll be contributing to CPAN anymore. If I write something I think is useful, I'll just dump it somewhere on the web with links to it on some Perl forums - contributing to CPAN should be easier.
