They actually have had the existing URLs working via `search.mcpan.org` for several years now, this is really just a matter of dropping the `m`.

I'm biased, I've release bits for Moose but ... Django, React, Rails, Spring, : can you tell what they are used for from the names? Does this mean that Python, Javascript, Ruby, and Java are "drawn towards unreadability than

`cpanminus` should install from BackPAN automatically if you ask for an explicitly older version. `cpanfile` and Carton do a fairly decent (IME YMMV) job of locking versions.

Javascript lacks the "packages" part of the mix, it uses Prototypal inheritance rather than Class based inheritance. If you squint you can view prototypal inheritance as class-based-inheritance-where-everything-is-a-singleton ...

"Heck, starting a software business and decided to grow to your first hires and worrying about making payroll is just as taxing." Actually in my experience it's not. Again about 5 years ago I started my own software company.

So you're saying that they're a "business"?

Actually there have been studies that have shown that while more money doesn't provide happiness, enough money is a pre-requisite. We're not talking a ton, we're talking enough to pay for food, shelter, and some basic for

The first one I presented is the way the Moose documentation calls has, the way the Moose test suite typically calls has, and the way I and most of the rest of the Moose Cabal call has. The second one isn't common at all, but I have se

You may not realized that's what you saw, but for example all of the Moose documentation uses effectively a nested param: has foo => ( is => 'ro' ); is equivalent to: has('foo', ('is',

Actually (and sadly) for some jobs with Perl that involve codebases older than 2007. That material would be useful. Because, like the languages you mention, deriving object systems from Perl5's rough axioms, was at one point something

It might also be useful to add to the disclaimers that many of these things that aren't explicitly documented can be in flux. Parameter passing is currently for example being discussed and may change (experimentally and in a backward

Some people actually find Perl fits the way they think better than Python does. They may find the culture a better fit, or they're better able to find existing solutions, or they simply prefer the concept of "There's more tha

CPAN is all volunteer. We happen to have a few really good SAs volunteer to keep core infrastructure up (which PAUSE, our upload server, just moved onto) ... but it's still volunteer.

In a word: curation. Amazon is probably always going to be the most relevant search engine for their site, but the current choice for python searches may not be. An example similar to python but that I have first hand experience with is Per

I don't see that they realistically have an alternative. DuckDuckGo won't ever be able to compete with Google as a general search engine. Google already pretty much solved that problem, and even if they haven't they have a huge head start a

Multiple Dispatch however is implemented in the extension MooseX::MultiMethods for various reasons to do with robustness.

This actually isn't true. I know several people who worked on the Perl version of YP and none of them are locked into the industry.

You forgot Fortran, BASIC, SQL, x86 Assembler, HTML, HTTP, TCL, Python, Ruby ... 15 years ago was 1996, we've got a lot of crap to purge.

I'm sorry I completely fail to understand how either of these remarks have any bearing on scalability? How does the Perl6 project's ability (or lack of) to deliver a project to your undefined criteria for "usable version" have any bearing o

As I pointed out on Gabriel's blog. This quote is six (6) years old at this point. Even if it was arguably relevant at the time (Alan Kay giving witness to an internal transition period in the Perl community), I'm not sure how it's relevant
