perlisalive.com?

2011-08-09 Thread Anton Berezin 
Anyone has any idea who is behind the site?

Perl might be alive, but ad...@perlisalive.com is surely pretty dead.  :-/

  I do note that perlisdead.com is thankfully un-registered.
 
 Given the current trend for such things[1], surely it would be 
 isperldeadyet.com
 
 Well shit, someone has registered that with predictable results

Thanks to everyone who replied.

I am ashamed forgetting about whois;  at least it seems I (with a not
insignificant help from followup posters) provided some free entertainment
for the crowd - and got the contact in the process.

Cheers,

Re: Efficient sorting of SNMP oids

 Dear all,
 
 I need to sort eficiently a large array (~9000) of SNMP OIDs.
 
 I am currently trying the following code:
 
 my @sorted_oids = map { $_-[0] }
   sort { $a-[1] cmp $b-[1] }
  map { [$_, pack('w*', split(/\./,
 $_))]  } @oids;
 
 But this fails since it outputs 1.3.6.1.4.1.2333.3.2.61001.1.10 before
 than 1.3.6.1.4.1.2333.3.2.8080.1.1.1
 
 Any ideas?

http://search.cpan.org/~salva/Sort-Key-OID-0.05/  looks like the ticket...
