[Catalyst] Recommended OS for Catalyst?

2009-08-06 Thread Octavian Rasnita

Hi,

Can you recommend a Linux distribution for production for Catalyst apps?

...and a version of Perl?

Thanks.

I'm using both debian lenny (perl 5.10) and ubuntu hardy (perl 5.8) in  
production.


I've never had a problem with the perl version that debian ship, but  
obviously, using the distro perl ties you to a specific OS version. If  
this is likely to be a problem for you / you're not willing to put the  
effort into testing your app in sync with distro upgrades, then  
building your own perl would be recommended.


RedHat (or Centos) is also fine, however I'd _highly_ recommend  
building your own perl on those platforms - as RedHat have managed to  
ship a hideously broken perl on several occasions...

[Catalyst] XSD Validation of Forms

2009-08-06 Thread Alejandro Imass
I did something cool these days for a client and was thinking that
perhaps might be a cool plugin for Catalyst.

I created a B2B app for a client that has both HTML and XML API. So I
decided to convert the HTML/XHTML requests to XML, the same XML format
as the XML API and validate both with the same XSD. Laziness, of
course, of having to maintain an HTML field validation scheme PLUS an
XSD validation scheme using LibXML. Hope you're following me here...

So, it occurred to me that perhaps XSD validations can be perhaps more
useful and powerful than Formbuilder's declarative validation oin
yaml.

Does anyone here think this might be interesting? Maybe it already
exists, but the whole thing came out so cool, that I thought it might
be useful for the Catalyst / Perl world in general.

Out of curiosity, is there a recommended way to compile perl
specifically for use with Catalyst?

I've been using Arch Linux without a hitch to develop for years now.

Make sure you have a patched 5.10, otherwise you can get ambiguous
error messages. Catalyst will tell you if you're unpatched.

You're talking about 5.10.0 here.

At this point, I'd very much recommend using 5.10.1 RC1..
