Re: A question of permissions

Matt, Either way, I doubt we'll gain much more value out of this thread, so while you're welcome to have the last word if it makes you happy, I'll be leaving it there. Okey dokey. My last word is: I'm saddened that you chose to ignore the personal message I sent you off-list. :-( It was int

Re: A question of permissions

Matt, You're not funny. Please try and be more polite in future. I'm starting to suspect this has little to do with my response to Neil and is instead a personal thing between us. I'll send you a message off-list so we don't have to spam the rest of the world with the issue. :-)

Re: A question of permissions

Matt, So I was thinking, why would it complain about a non-existent permissions error if it had no idea what the module name was supposed to be in the first place? It knows the dist name. To upload Date-Easy as a dist name requires perms on Date::Easy. Then the empty provides means it didn't

Re: A question of permissions

Neil, I only just noticed your email. PAUSE-related issues are better raised to modu...@perl.org , or you can send to both modules@ and module-authors. Okay, good tip. Thanks for redirecting this to the appropriate place. I *think* that the problem is this line in y

A question of permissions

Guys, After I uploaded my new module Date::Easy a while back, I got a failure notice from PAUSE: This distribution name can only be used by users with permission for the package Date::Easy, which you do not have. No modules will be indexed. Of course, I had checked for that prior to uploadi

Re: Turning numbers into words

Neil, How about something along the lines of Lingua::EN::WordifyNumerics? Hmmm ... you think that's better than Daniel's suggestion of "Lingua::EN::Numbers::Combined"? Thats what I'm leaning towards ATM. Considering just the name: Lingua::EN::Numbers::Combined I might think: * Lingua

Re: Turning numbers into words

David, You have a hard problem to solve here. "In 814 Charlemagne died" -> Eight fourteen "In the year of our lord 814 ..." -> Eight hundred and fourteen "In 814 cases out of 1000 the patient recovered" -> Eight hundred and fourteen Oh, it can never be perfect, that's for sure. My

Re: Turning numbers into words

Neil, So, I know how to turn "36" into "thirty-six" (Lingua::EN::Numbers) and "22" into "twenty-second" (ditto), and "3/4" into "three quarters" (Lingua::EN::Fractions) and even "1994" into "nineteen ninety-four" (Lingua::EN::Numbers::Years). What I actually _want_, though, is to turn "In 199

Re: Turning numbers into words

Daniel, Plus I thought it would be useful to solicit opinions on naming. :-) My suggestions: Lingua::EN::Numbers::All Lingua::EN::Numbers::Combined I'd lean towards ::Combined and allowing the user to specify what sub-functions they want to be using. (Base numbers and fractions? Years and

Continued life of my GitPan fork

Guys, About eight months ago, I asked this list a question about how to start a new repo based on a GitPan fork.[1] The concensus was, just fork it and leave it as a fork, because there's no disadvantages to that. Well, I found a (mild) disadvantage. :-/ GitHub has a way to filter your repos: P

Starting a module's history from gitpan

Guys, So, I found a bug in a CPAN module that hadn't been updated in some time. After I submitted a bug in RT, I checked the author's other modules and his RT tickets: no activity in years. So I sent the author an email, and said, hey, if you don't want to mess with this module any more, I'd be

Eric, I was just thinking of writing some tests for Getopt::Helpful and was wondering if something using IPC::Run might do the trick. The idea was to write a series of little programs that should behave in a given way (print something, die, or warn with a usage message) for some set of argumen

Potential Perl6::Exceptions?

Guys, Has anyone considered, or perhaps even started working on, a Perl 5 implementation of Perl 6's exceptions (at least at outlined in Apocalypse 4)? I'm sure not every aspect could be handled, but it seems to me that a module along the lines of Switch (and potentially using that as a jumpin
