I'm looking for a job!
Hi Folks... As you may have heard there have been some alterations here at Emap so I thought I'd test the market and see what else is out there. If you know of any decent jobs please could you give me a yell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and if anyone is interested my CV, with phone number, can be found at: http://www.cuckoo.org/people/leo/ Thanks.

Getting keys of mapped hash?
OK, my brain has fried.
How can I do this:
my @list = qw/foo bar foo baz/;
my %hash = map { $_ = 1 } @men;
my @sort = sort keys %hash;
print "We have @sort\n"; # foo bar baz
without the %hash?
i.e. something akin to: my @sort = sort keys map { $_ = 1 } @list;
I've tried so many variations that my brain is refusing to tell me the
correct answer.

I was bored over Christmas and after talking to Alex I implemented a nice little system (i'm still debugging and making it simpler), basically i took a streaming audio server, my mp3 collection and festival and have set up an internal ``radio station'', that plays music at random and then in between the songs it will play any messages - such as detected portscans / important incoming email / etc. then get back to the music. I'm still cleaning it up, but i thought you guys would be interested. I'll through up a webpage about it once It's finished with the code etc. Greg -- Greg McCarroll http://www.mccarroll.uklinux.net

Ah. Not closely related to the concept of addition then. Couldn't they have
used !%{} or +%{} or something? Also, what _IS_ +{ in this case? It's not an
operator, so is +{ simply a modified kind of open bracket with special
meaning?
Is this explained in the latested Camel, because it doesn't show up in my
pocket refernce at all

It's almost a compile-time pragma, and I'm fairly sure it's in the camel.
Anyway, "perlop" has this to say:
Unary "+" has no effect whatsoever, even on strings. It
is useful syntactically for separating a function name
from a parenthesized expression that would otherwise be
interpreted as the complete list of function arguments.
(See examples above under the section on Terms and List
Operators (Leftward).)
and in "perlref":
3. A reference to an anonymous hash can be created using
curly brackets:
$hashref = {
'Adam' = 'Eve',
'Clyde' = 'Bonnie',
};
Anonymous hash and array composers like these can be
intermixed freely to produce as complicated a
structure as you want. The multidimensional syntax
described below works for these too. The values above
are literals, but variables and expressions would work
just as well, because assignment operators in Perl
(even within local() or my()) are executable
statements, not compile-time declarations.
Because curly brackets (braces) are used for several
other things including BLOCKs, you may occasionally
have to disambiguate braces at the beginning of a
statement by putting a + or a return in front so that
Perl realizes the opening brace isn't starting a
BLOCK. The economy and mnemonic value of using
curlies is deemed worth this occasional extra hassle.
For example, if you wanted a function to make a new
hash and return a reference to it, you have these
options:
sub hashem {{ @_ } } # silently wrong
sub hashem { +{ @_ } } # ok
sub hashem { return { @_ } } # ok
On the other hand, if you want the other meaning, you
can do this:
sub showem {{ @_ } } # ambiguous (currently ok, but may
change)
sub showem { {; @_ } } # ok
sub showem { { return @_ } } # ok
Note how the leading +{ and {; always serve to
disambiguate the expression to mean either the HASH
reference, or the BLOCK.

More on the TPJ saga. Dave... - Forwarded message from Jon Orwant [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 19:18:48 -0500 To: Jon Orwant [EMAIL PROTECTED] January 2, 2001 Some folks have been asking me about the status of The Perl Journal #20, and prospective authors have been asking me about deadlines for future issues. The answers: TPJ #20 is in press and ready to print, but EarthWeb (the owner of TPJ) has told the printer to stop the presses until further notice. I am currently responding to proposals sent to me with approximately "I don't know if there's going to be another issue, but when I do I'll respond to your proposal." Since the future of the magazine is in doubt, I can't in good conscience greenlight proposals; I will not encourage an author to spend weeks writing an article when I know that it might never be printed. So I've told people who've asked what I know about the current situation: while EarthWeb has sold many of its properties to internet.com so that it can focus on "career services", it has not sold TPJ. However, EarthWeb has also made it clear that they don't want to publish TPJ any more. This story has started to leak out to the Perl community and has already mutated a bit in not-quite-correct directions, so I wanted to write this note to set the record straight. Or as straight as I can, given what little I know about EarthWeb's decisions. While TPJ's future is very much up in the air, people shouldn't take this as any indicator about Perl itself. TPJ was doing just fine back when I ran it, there's no shortage of content out there, and the magazine could easily go bimonthly and then monthly -- indeed, when EarthWeb acquired TPJ I had thought that was the plan. I still enjoy the editing, the authors enjoy the writing, and the designers enjoy the designing. What happens now is up to EarthWeb. And no, I'm not suggesting that people bombard them with email. Heck, they just laid off 100 people, so I'm not even sure who to bombard. Eventually there will be some resolution, and when there is I'll write again to let everyone know. As of December 27th, this matter is now in the courts, and so I have to adopt the "just the facts" tone of this letter without portraying my opinions. Someday I'll be able to talk more about what is happening in these strange days; until then, you'll have to conjure up your own adjectives on my behalf.
