I landed my current job after being contacted from my "Who wants to be hired?" post. I'm not exactly a rockstar ninja, but I was pinged by multiple people: a pleasant surprise and a welcome change from the online job applicat

Perl has distinct operators for string concatenation and numeric addition (as well as string comparison/numeric comparison): $ perl -E 'say "plus: ", 1 + "1"' plus: 2 $ perl -E 'say "conc

If a bit of self promotion is allowed, check out https://github.com/spring1944/spring1944 . It's an RTS, so a little more action oriented than the (typically) more detailed turn based wargames, and a bit larger sca

Gogs uses a mix of GoGits, a partially Go implementation of git, and the traditional git binary via os/exec. A quick scan shows that it relies on the binary for perhaps the majority of tasks. Another project I'm aware of that aims

Location: Midwestern US, targeting Europe. Remote: Potentially, but I'd probably just move to you if you're in a neat place. Willing to relocate: If it involves crossing an ocean, yes, absolutely. Native English speaker, professio

Great article! Wish I'd found it a few months ago when I was reading HOP and trying to wrap my head around subroutine installation using globs. One of my favorite design elements of perl is the ability to lexically declare "Ok, no

Well, the goal is to make sure that the plentiful modules on the CPAN (all in Perl 5) are usable for everybody involved. You're right, directly mixing Perl 5 and Perl 6 isn't likely to be a common usage - at least, doesn't se

Judging by the ample supply of version number rimshots, some clarification might be helpful: this isn't a Perl release, nor is it a new Perl version. It's the name of a general project in the Perl community to try to decouple Perl

It's a list of projects all loosely oriented around untying Perl 5 the language from perl the runtime. Perl 6 has already done this, with several (Parrot, JVM, Mono/.NET) VMs currently working fairly successfully, if a tad slowly
