*Since we’re having speakers from the UK the next two months, we’ll be starting 6:30pm ET so that we’re at least starting on Tuesday for them. (I'll be online for mike check etc before that)* Tuesday, February 14th 💘 , 6:30 PM 🇺🇸 Boston PM: match::smart, match::simple - Toby Inkster (live)
With P5P actively moving forward from deprecation to Warning and eventual removal of the v5.10 SmartMatch ~~ operator – for good reason, it was underspecified, nondeterministic, and outright dangerious – there’s a question for those who found a subset of its capabilities useful. Prolific module author Toby Inkster <https://metacpan.org/author/TOBYINK> provides a safe, deterministic subset of smart-match in match-simple <https://metacpan.org/dist/match-simple> distribution which provides match::simple <https://metacpan.org/pod/match::simple> and match::smart <https://metacpan.org/pod/match::smart> with optional XS accelerator <https://metacpan.org/dist/match-simple-XS>. (*with apologies to anyone who has other plans that 💘 evening. this is the risk of 2d Tuesday scheduling.*) This is a JitSi meeting. The secure URL will be computed by this command (valid only during that week): perl -MDigest::SHA=sha1_hex -MPOSIX=strftime -le 'print strftime "%Y/%m/%d week %U", localtime; $date=strftime "Y%Y W%U", localtime; print $date; print "https://meet.jit.si/BostonPM-".substr(sha1_hex("BostonPM".$date),0,12);' (and will likely be posted here just in time, but to avoid spammers, won’t be posted on public social media) (See Boilerplate <https://boston-pm.github.io/index.html/#boilerplate> below for additional how-to etc.) *Coming Attractions*Perl 5.38 will have a new OO in Core. BostonPM on 3.14 πday will have live Q&A with team leader. BACKUP TOPICS - Using MP3::Tag Syntax::Keyword::Try etc to make playable audio archives with legible titles (PerlHack/audio/mp3info.pl) - ?? BoilerPlate - Meetings hosted by Boston.PM are in meet.Jit.si and on 2d Tuesday. (See webpage BoilerPlate <https://boston-pm.github.io/#boilerplate> section for Jitsi Notes) - Meetings hosted by Charlotte.PM <https://www.meetup.com/charlotte-pm/> are in Zoom and on Last Wednesdays. - Meetings hosted by Boston Linux Unix (http://blu.org) are in Jitsi and on 3d Wednesday. (*If you need to hear my rant about why Zoom’s “fixes” are inadequate, ask me off-list. Or watch my BLU Cryptology History & News annual report for the last decade.*) -- Bill Ricker bill.n1...@gmail.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/n1vux _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list Boston-pm@pm.org https://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
