(http://www.midgard-project.org) php - nasty Have you looked at openinteract (.org) ? A new perl App server. From the talks I was in I discovered the following: Perl got a few mentions at the Open Source Dev meeting, CPAN's location mirroring algorithm was mentioned a couple of times in a presentation about BGP by VA Linux. VA are making a geographical redirector that will does dynamic DNS and points a client to thier nearest (network wise) node. Zope is now supporting Perl at a much level than previously (Apparently, I don't use Zope so I have no idea...) Smoothwall has had over 375,000 downloads from Sourceforge and they use perl for all the firewall admin stuff. Has to be a good thing, also Smoothwall are in discussion with getting Smoothwall boxsets distributed so I'm assuming that perl will be shipped out with every copy of those. Not major stuff but nice none the less. Rasmus of PHP said that he, Larry and Guido were in the planning stages of getting a meeting together to discuss backends to scripting languages... Not sure exactly how far into planning and this answer was prompted by someone asking why not use the perl or python backend instead of Zend. Zend is nasty - they had to change the licence in PHP4 from gpl to a BSD free-ish one because zend was originally under the qpl (I think). Zend have decided to release thier caching / complier stuff commerically for loads of money. Another company has released a GPL cacher I feel that zend rewrote the underlying script engine for php, so that they could then "sell" it or sell the add ons.

unicode
Hi, Has anyone done any unicode work in Perl, and what state are thing in at the moment? Can Perl have unicode variable names and stuff? Can it handle unicode strings? Declared in the source file? Just curious... Jonathan PetersonIdeas Hub Ltd (t) +44 (0)20 7487 1310 www.ideashub.com
Re: Technical Meeting Sponsorship
Quoting Dave Cross ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): It would be spectacularly appropriate :) I agree :-) I can't remember exactly what the email I got from them said, but they were _far_ cheaper than the Commonwealth Institute (which I also investigated). There was a larger room for ~500 and a smaller one for ~70. I think the smaller one costs 155 for the evening. So that is looking pretty good to me right now. If I don't get any other volunteers I may consider making it a Magnum Solutions sponsored event (if it only costs 150!) You can jot me down for a personal sponsorship of 50. No way I can get a corporate sponsorship in time. Cheers, -- Merijn Broeren | Everything in excess! To enjoy the flavour of life, Software Geek | take big bites. Moderation is for monks. |
