... to the awesomeness of CPAN testers.
Sitting in the hackathon room at YAPC::NA::2015 in Salt Lake City, I got
time and focus to evaluate a pull request for List-Compare. After
digesting the request and running benchmarks on it, I applied it as a
patch and made a new release to CPAN as version 0.53.
A craving for caffeine came over me -- I'd been working since 6:00 am
local time -- so I went to the lobby coffee bar and got some joe. I
turn around and see Stevan Little. I said to myself, "Dammit Stevan, I
haven't seen you since you moved to Amsterdam." We stop and chat for
about half an hour.
I wander back into the hackathon room and go to
http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=List-Compare. I see that, between
Andreas, Slaven and others, v0.53 has already been successfully tested
on multiple Linux boxes on every version of Perl from 5.8.5 to 5.22.0.
The term "awesome" is very much overused these days, but I think this is
a case where it hits the spot.
Thank you very much.
