This is probably something handy to have around. However I think you
forgot to clean up your SVN working copy before committing the module
to CPAN.
I forgot to do export instead of a fresh checkout. Ok. I'll get that next time.
By the way, I looked at the code and I think I'll make some
suggestions. First of all: don't be afraid to use regular expressions.
They're fast and can make your code cleaner and shorter.
I'll change them in the next version. I didn't realize regexps are
that much faster.
Since you're new to Perl and, according to your blog posts, you're
wondering if a language could be any uglier than Perl, may I suggest
you take a look at more modern ways of coding Perl such as using Moose
or even reading Higher Order Perl (since you seem to like Lisp). I
won't suggest Catalyst itself (along with DBIx::Class) because, since
you're here, you're probably already aware of it. ;-)
Thanks for the suggestions. I just want to keep a little utility
module like this plain Perl without any dependencies. Just because I
think Perl if funny looking doesn't affect whether or not I'll be
using it. With my first Perl adventure I did notice that it is very
slow to type $s->{a} instead of s.a like in JavaScript.
Thanks again,
Peter
