 TOO MANY WAYS TO LOG

And you're adding another one. Why not pick one existing logging
module and convince enough people to start using it? Write journal
entries, give lightning talks at your Perl monger group, real talks at
YAPCs and bribe friends with beer ;-)

I have been busy, apologies. I'll look at your patch when I do more
GraphViz maintenance. The problem is that so many people send me
GraphViz patches which break other people's code, so I'll have a
little think about it.

Re: CPAN6 (was: A Semi-Public Version Control Repository for Your CPAN Modules)

Has there been any public discussion of cpan6? I've only seen vague

public review and comment before it's implemented?


Of course not - but in the usual Perl way, if you don't like it, you
can build your own cpan6!
And release it to, errr, CPAN.

Sorry, slightly tongue in cheek.

But as with most Perl 6 projects, I have to ask: Why do we have to
wait for Perl 6 before we get a better CPAN?

Or is this getting too meta and should I wait until your yapc talk
instead... Leon


Re: Ratings and Reviews ne Modules

 Or do we?  I get a 404.  Not much use.
 
 That's a bug. You'll notice the same bug if you click on the CPAN 
 Testers link. Is this a bug in search.cpan.org? CPAN.pm is one of the 
 few if not only module that has a name which includes the extension.

FWIW it's a bug in CPAN Testers too because the distribution name has
a dot in it. I was trying to be a little secure and avoid people
trying to do have tester reports which have ../../etc/whatever. I
might be being a bit over strict, but then again I think it's stupid
that it's called CGI.pm.

The source to the CPAN Testers website is available on CPAN (unlike
the other sites mentioned in this thread). Patches welcome.

 The searching in search.cpan.org is, unfortunately, pretty awful. At some
 point I plan to sit down and try using Plucene as a search engine for
 module data.

I thought that would be a good idea too, so I tried it. It works
*fairly* well.

 Is this namespace ok?

It's hard to tell without showing us docs and code. Got them available?

Johan Vromans sent the following bits through the ether:

 Have you contacted the DBI people to see whether they are interested
 in adding this to standard DBI?

FWIW, I submitted a patch to Tim Bunce in November adding these two to
the core DBI API. I've benchmarked selectall_hashref as being ~30-50%
faster than a loop over fetchrow_hashref. Tim accepted it, but I'm not
sure who's in charge of DBI these days...
