Hi! Flipping through my "screen" sessions, I noticed http://www.officevision.com/pub/p5ee/components.html scroll through the HTTP access log.
Neato! I'm glad other people share the vision of Perl serving in the modern, object-obsessed, maintainability-oriented workplace. I've been evangalizing the use of Perl in conjunction with basic and advanced programming skills and theory for some time now. I don't accept that, just because Perl makes some things easy, that there is no longer an art to programming. I have a large number of sites bookmarked, and hung off of http://perldesignpatterns.com/?PerlPatternsResources and http://perldesignpatterns.com/?PerlPatternsToDo . I try to track the development of many resources, and it takes me months to do a round through all of the bookmarks. I hope I can maintain a more active communication channel with you folks, if your project does go anywhere. I assume you're taking an advisory role for a standard platform? I'd like to atleast acknowledge in PDP which areas fit your recommendations, and any that differ. Also, it seems like PDP might be a resource to you. I've spent a lot of time doing research for this project. For example, http://www.officevision.com/pub/p5ee/components.html and http://perldesignpatterns.com/?SelectCPANModules and http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/cgi-bin/perl-qa-wiki.cgi?EssentialModules have some overlap. PDP has a special affinity for langauge extensions, rather than just utility modules. English::Reference, Object::Lexical, Anyloader, Scalar::Util, Error.pm, and others rank highly. Okey, enough ranting for now. Cheers! -scott
