That's me. my kwiki is getting hit by these dorks daily.  Ronald, which
tools are you using to yank out the history? Kwiki::PageInfo?

Also, are you running the Kiwki as CGI or mod_perl? It's much speedier
than I'd expect.

Actually, I generally seeing pushback only from folks who'd rather RT be
written in Python (and very, very occasionally PHP.)  Folks who are
coming from the Java and .net worlds seem to expect applications to be
black boxes. What they really want are web services.  While perl's a
fantastic implementation language for us, I am bitten pretty regularly
by the lack of a GOOD server-side SOAP toolkit which makes it easy to
talk to non-perl applications.  

With regard to hiring: I've found the perl community to be much more
tied together than other language communities I've interacted with.
Which means that when I'm hiring (like I expect to be this spring), 
I don't have to look very far.

[Boston.pm] RT Developer Training 2/28

2005-02-02 Thread Jesse Vincent

Hi All, 

I know there are a fair number of Boston.pm folks who use RT
regularly. We're going to be doing an RT developer training session at
the end of the month in Cambridge. Generally, it's a fairly intense
day-long tutorial on how RT's put together and how to bend it to your
will.  Because Best Practical is my company, I'm empowered to do crazy
things like offer huge discounts to perl people. So, if you're
interested in the training session and tell us that you heard about the
session from Boston.pm, you'll get 30% off the cost of the session.
Additionally, I can swing a couple of "Scholarship" slots for current
undergrads. To sign up, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and make
sure to tell us to give you the Perl Mongers discount.


    Jesse



(If, for some reason you're in Texas, the Bay Area or Sydney and are reading
Boston.pm's lists, you can have the discount too)

Assuming that apache2 supports fastcgi, RT should play nicely as a
fastcgi.

Re: [Boston.pm] OS X Perl Dev

Building libapreq on OSX is desperately futile, unless you grab the
patched version from http://www.apache.org/~joes/

(many mod_perl apps depend on libapreq)
