My colleages and I want to set up a LAN radio station, so that we can all groove to the same soundtrack. To make things interesting, we want to be able to dynamically add songs to the playlist. From any machine. And since I don’t really have time to do something like that, I’m setting myself a deadline of one evening to get it running. Got it? Good. For it’s time to rip our shirts. And dance the Haka.
While Oracle does supply a list of RPMs that must be installed on a Linux system, that information does not help you in determining which Oracle files are dependent on the RPMs in question. If the list of RPMs to be updated is small, it may even be that that few, if any of the Oracle files on a server may be affected. Here’s how that can be determined.
Git::CPAN::Patch could already seed a local repository with the latest distribution of a module, or its whole BackPAN history, or its GitPAN mirror. But with version 0.7.0, it can now go straight for the meat and clone the distribution’s officil git repository, provided that it’s specified in its META.json or META.yml. Please allow me to demonstrate:
Okay, so MooseX::Role::BuildInstanceOf is not one of my modules. And while I submited the patch, the feature itself was born out of fREW’s DBIx::Class::DeploymentHandler. So, in all this, my role was at best to be the pollinator agent between two beautiful flowers. But, hey, it’s not like a little bit of noise is going to hurt any of the involved parties, sooo… let’s see what the buzz’s about.
In our last episode, we began our journey into the wonderful and only slightly scary world of Pod::Weaver. By the end of the blog entry, we victorously managed to, hum, mimic perldoc -u. Not terribly impressive, maybe, but a necessary baseline for the upcoming niftiness. Niftiness that begins with today’s installment, as we are going to take a closer look at all the Pod::Weaver gnomes and fairies that we can enlist to help create our POD.
Dancer::Plugin::Cache::CHI v1.2.0 has hit CPAN a few days ago. In that release, four new goodies have appeared. Here’s a look at them.
Pod::Weaver, which does to POD what Dist::Zilla does to distribution files, is all that, only moreso. But it feels so powerful, holds so much promises to make my life easier once I manage to master it, that I won’t let the steep learning curve deter me. I’ll climb down my brain bicycle, and push it up that hill. And I’ll provide a running (well, walking slowly) commentary as I go along, in the hope that it’ll help other peeps who might want to venture is those exciting yet dark waters. Okay. Enough preamble. Let’s get cracking.
The Dancer plugin mechanism primary aims to provide a way to encapsulate pieces of functionality that can be re-used by different applications. But, it’s so light-weight and handy, that’s it’s easy to also use it to encapsulate parts of the application itself. In that way, it’s very reminescent of the concept of role. Let’s look at this example.
As I was crafting my Dancer presentation for Summercamp 2011, I noticed that there wasn’t a Dancer template for Template::Declare. Well, now there’s one, have a look.
I already aluded to the fact in a few posts already, but just to make it a wee bit more public: a few weeks ago, someone had a lapse of common sense and knighted me Maintainer of DBD::Oracle. mouahahaha *ahem* I mean, I’m honored to be allowed to at the wheel of what is one of the most venerable battleships of the CPAN armada, and hereby swear to serve her at the best of my abilities.
