#perl5 — Public Fediverse posts

Hello everyone! 👋✌️

The first one new is that I've take a decision to try Perl 🐪. So, now every Bash script was be changed on a Perl 🐪 script in "Dima wants crisps 🍟" repository 👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Dima-wants-crisps

And, also, some scripts in "Crisps Chat 🍟" was be changed on their Perl 🐪 alternative 👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Crisps-Chat

#Perl: older than some #programming careers, younger at heart than you think.

It’s evolved a lot since 1999 — modern features, cleaner syntax — yet it still runs code you wrote decades ago.

(And if you’re wondering: #Perl6 was renamed Raku in 2019 — it’s a sister language, not a successor.)

Curious? Returning after a long break? @shiar’s cheat sheet is a perfect quick‑scan: https://sheet.shiar.nl/perl

I like that, use v5.34 and experimental of the features later accepted, so that older OS or App bin/perl will run the script written with v5.40 noexperimental syntax. very good. #perl #perl5

Finally listening to the latest episode of The Underbar[0] where previous perl pumpkings and current and previous members of the PSC are talking about the future of version numbering. One thing that came up was a document that talked about what version new features appeared in and when they became stable and who the audience was for that document. The audience was in the room! I believe it was aristotle who said "I don't know when new features appeared". It is also me, I regularly use the (incomplete) table on Wikipedia[1] to not only figure out what version to target, but also remind myself what cool new things I can use. I end up targeting different perl versions in different contexts, so this reference would make it easier for me to have the best experience I can. This is somewhat covered in the documentation for feature[2] but there are lots of things not applicable for that document, for example there is no mention of the builtin:: namespace[3].

@selfhtml herzlichen Glückwunsch, SELFHTML! Ich war in den 2000ern als Teenager ein großer Fan von @StefanMuenz und seinem Machwerk. Mit SELFHTML hab ich auch meine ersten Schritte in #Perl5 gemacht.

I am trying to fix a several-years-old issue with Pod::Weaver and Pod::Readme.

Pod::Weaver seems to strip out directives like =for and =begin that are intended for Pod::Readme, meaning that the two cannot be used together.

Is there any way to get Pod:: Weaver working with Pod::Readme?

@veer66
Both statements can be true!

Perl's TIMTOWTDI slogan, "There Is More Than One Way To Do It" is a feature to the enlightened and a flaw to prescriptivists who recoil from "choice is good".
("Perl doesn't have a Rails" - Right, it doesn't have a=one, it has choice of seven, where seven is a variable.)

Predictability is intentional. Perl5 for a decade put compatibility ahead of progress; techniques to allow both have revived progress without sacrificing compatibility.

Revisiting Perl Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in 2025

An update of my 2002 post about Perl object-oriented programming (OOP) in Perl.

@rmloveland I really like @oalders’s new logo too! Sorry, @kraih, I think your #Perl5 raptor is out.

Camel POOP - Perl Object Oriented Programming

I wrote this article for the CodeProject back in 2002 during my first consulting career as a web developer as a way to boost my visibility. I am capturing it here for my archives. The article is based on Perl 5.
