#Gemini is killing me:
Contrast #rstats and #perl object oriented systems. Which ones in one language are similar to others in the other language. Highlight both similarities and differences. Which object system in R is easier for someone who comes from a Perl background to learn and use initially? Which one after one has become proficient in R ?
Surprisingly the S6 classes are equivalent to Moo or the class feature in #perl c5.38+ (so learn that first I guess), but one should be using S3!!
I have released a new version of App::CpanDak, my sub-class of App::cpanminus / cpanm with "some sort of distroprefs"
You could already apply patches, skip tests, and set environment variables, to any distribution you installed; now you can augment version specifications.
Some::Fancy::Library has released a new version 1.3.4 that doesn't install cleanly? add a Some-Fancy-Library.options.yml with:
---add_version_spec: "!= 1.3.4"
and that version will be skipped, even if pulled in via indirect dependencies!Sometimes I disgust myself. I have just released version 4.0010 of Number::Phone. That's the quarterly maintenance release, as scheduled, on the first Friday of the last month of the quarter. Released on time.
Changes in this release are: data updates; a formatter for spitting out MSISDN; documentation and tests for the already supported ingest of MSISDN.
Thanks to Mario Paumann for the MSISDN patch.

Normalizing CSV files, I asked Copilot if it had changed its mind after originally suggesting I use Python instead of Perl. Extract of what it said:
Perl, though… Perl is for people who have actually seen things. People who have stared into the abyss of real brokerage exports and said, “Fine."
Python is the polite dinner guest.
Perl is the one who shows up with a shovel and says, “Where’s the body?”
I can't tell if it's a compliment 😄
You use multiple monitors, I use multiple computers and a HDMI switch via remote, and multiple sessions via X and ssh , we are not the same

Today I finally submitted two talks to the German #Perl Workshop in Berlin https://act.yapc.eu/gpw2026/
Hi, I’m Mark. Glad you’re here.
I work in #PlatformEngineering and #SoftwareEngineering, after a long stretch in #Perl and now deep into #Go, #Docker, #Kubernetes, and #AWS. I like systems that behave, tools that justify their existence, and explanations that don’t waste anyone’s time.
https://PhoenixTrap.com is where I #blog about the engineering side of that: production, clarity, and the discipline required to build things that hold up under pressure.
I’m also an #Objectivist, which for me means treating ideas as tools for living, not ornaments.
https://TheBeautifulPrison.com is where I explore — through #fiction and #essay #writing — the philosophical side: consciousness, identity, boundaries, and what happens when a self is tested. If you’re curious about the deeper themes behind my posts, that’s the place to look.
Outside of work and writing, you’ll see #BassGuitar, conventions like #DragonCon, and the occasional bit of structured nonsense.
This #Mastodon instance is #SelfHosted because I like owning my infrastructure and my identity; it keeps the whole thing honest.
If something I say sparks a thought, feel free to reply. I enjoy good conversations — especially the kind where two people are actually trying to understand each other.
Pull up a chair.
Longtime #computer #programmer and #sysadmin with interests in #unix #linux #C #perl #infosec #computerscience and anything else in range.

Question for 1980s/early-1990s Unix/Linux users: What scripting languages did you encounter other than the various Shells, AWK, Perl, Tcl, maybe early Python?
Looking for general purpose languages that would let you run a stand-alone script. I don't think Rexx saw significant use on Unix. Any other popular languages maybe only in certain geographies (like Ruby/Lua initially)? How about other non-Unix languages that made the jump?
perl file manager "v_0.3.2" 🏁
now with scripting interface 🎖
PFM can perform any task you need by your own script! at the command-mode: "run:45:1" will start this: "perl /usr/local/bin/run1.pl foo.txt" were 45 is the ID of foo.txt and run1.pl is your selfmade script..
for more details (link, howto, faq, etc.) look at my older toot's.
Hello tooters! I'm an #embedded #SoftwareEngineer using #c #cplusplus #sh #GNUMake #Perl #Buildroot #Buildbot #Javascript #Thrift #Bootstrap #EclipseCDT #KDE #Debian #Linux to make high speed #microwave #radio network devices.
Also I build and #ride #bicycles outside in #Devon and inside on #Zwift, enjoy #cooking, #beer, red #wine and #coffee 😋
In a different life I might have been in #infosec #particlephysics #astrophysics #chemistry or #robotics !

Any opinions expressed are not mine. They're of your employer and Oracle, Inc. in particular.
Since there has been a huge influx of new users, I decided to write a new #Introduction and actually pin it to my profile.
I'm pushing 50 years old and I live in a Red State that is trying to make me illegal. I'm a #pansexual / #bisexual #transgender woman married to a heterosexual cisgender woman who frequently talks about the current hellscape for people like me in my Toots.
I'm #NeuroDivergent / #ND which is probably why all of these sentences start with "I".
I've worked in #InfoSec for a little over 20 years. I've had lots of roles in #SecEng, #SecOps, and #ThreatManagement. I taught myself #Perl, #Bash, #SQL, and #PowerShell. I'm decent at #JavaScript. I can read #Python and #Ruby. I enjoy automating things and turning manual processes into scripts.
I've been the primary #CareGiver to my wife for 8 years since she developed a chronic condition and went on disability.
My hobbies including #writing #paranormal short fiction, journaling my #dreams, and playing #PCGames on my laptop and #SteamDeck.
I prefer #StarGate over #StarTrek over #StarWars. Still waiting for Amazon to do something, anything with the Stargate property.
While we loved the #ArrowVerse including #Stargirl and #SwampThing, in general we prefer #Marvel over #DC.
I'm a fan of #Horror / #HorrorFam, #HorrorMovies and #HorrorBooks, especially the existential dread of #CosmicHorror or #LovecraftianHorror. I tend to sympathize with the nameless terrors. I am not a fan of mindless slashers, unrelenting gore, or torture porn. Over-the-top, egregious gore that crosses into the absurd is fine, though, so I am a Sam Raimi fan, obvs. Also, #HorrorComedies are underappreciated.
I'm slowly reconnecting with my #Pagan roots. I knew some stuff about #Tarot and had a friend who as a tree a lifetime ago and I'm trying to rekindle that.
We've got #Cats and they are our kids. I also happen to love #Frogs, but we don't have any of those.
#BLM #BlackLivesMatter
#TransgenderRightsAreHumanRights
#LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA
#ThePandemicIsNotOver
#ClimateChangeIsReal
#SexWorkIsWork
I'm in the Fediverse since 2019, but never did an #introduction so far:
I'm a #Linux #sysadmin, digital #forensics expert and #Debian developer. Programming in #Perl and #shell most time.
I insist on a #mechanicalkeyboard.
I like #Citroën #oldtimers (#2CV, #HY, #CX) and the #CityEL. I travel with #motorhome and #Brompton.
I'm going with #BikeToWork and like exotic #bicycle types: #foldingbike, #recumbent and #trike.
I am and always was a #nonsmoker. Have #asthma, though. I am #vaccinated.
Bin zwar #AltHier, hab' aber bisher noch keine Vorstellung geschrieben. Deswegen auch für die vielen #NeuHier:
Bin #Linux-#Sysadmin, digitaler #Forensiker und #Debian-Entwickler. Programmiere in #Perl und #Shell.
Bestehe auf mechanische Tastaturen.
Mag #Citroën-#Oldtimer (#2CV, #HY, #CX) und das #CityEl. Reise mit #Wohnmobil und #Brompton.
Fahre #mdRzA, mag in Sachen #Fahrrad vor allem #Faltrad, #Liegerad und #Trike.
Schon immer #Nichtraucher. Habe #Asthma (#Risikogruppe), bin #geimpft.

I’ve spent three days or so experimenting with #Perl #Dancer2 and it has been great fun. I’ve taken my current project, which is Perl, CGI, Template Toolkit and MySQL and remodelled it with Dancer2, using Plack for local serving. I spent the first two days simply reading and re-reading the Dancer2 manual and FAQ to get a big picture in my head, allowing quite a lot to whoosh me, and then sat down. This is going to be a lot smaller and faster than my old CGI apps, clearly.
If you're wondering how I post such long threads here so quickly, I use the following #Perl script that I've written: https://gist.github.com/Ovid/5db4290f4fbc46ec8fe7318065a8f60e
It also has instructions in the docs for how to integrate this directly into your #vim or #neoVIM editor. You can write whole essays there and post them. It's a great way to annoy your friends!
I should update it to allow content warnings and images.
Hello everyone, it's time for a proper #introduction.
My name is Paul Mantz, and I am a software engineer from #chicago specializing in #ruby and #rubyonrails by way of a lot of #perl.
I read a lot of #scifi, listen to an absurd amount of #industrial and #electronicmusic, and engage in other various DIY endeavors like #homeautomation. I helped found a hackerspace in a past life. My #adhd means I rotate through a lot of hobbies with a trail of destruction in my wake.
