Re: [Catalyst] Dealing with timestamps from Postgres
The problem I see with doing it this way: $formatted_date_string = $c-model('DB::TableName')-find($row_index)-date_field-mdy('/'); is that It looks like I would have to do this every time I grab a date from the database. That is fine but there are times in my app where I pull everything from the database to display like so: my $things = $c-stash-{mydata_rs}-search( undef, { order_by = { -asc = 'uniq' }, }, ); where each item has a timestamp of when it was created and when it was last modified, would I have to do another search to get the datetime formatted or worse pull them one by one building a hash_ref or array?

Are there recent accessible statistics available, comparing these metrics across the most popular web-frameworks? (i.e. Symfony, DJango, Rails, ASP.NET etc) No metrics are available as all major MVC frameworks use a fairly standard combination of Template rendering, ORM data layer, etc and solve the underlying inherent performance problems of using ORM in similar ways. The best example of that is to look at and understand http://use-the-index-luke.com/sql/join/nested-loops-join-n1-problem - essentially you need to avoid any framework with a data layer that doesn't have a solution to this problem, and know how to use it correctly when you pick one to avoid hitting it accidentally. There also aren't really any metrics for development time - the closest thing is the Plat_Forms competition (http://www.plat-forms.org/ their last report was from 2007 and so is a bit out of date, particularly about technical features available to frameworks such as WSDL support), which avoids such metrics as it's comparing apples and pears - however it is very informative and will be publishing this years report in 2-3 weeks - if you're doing a proper evaluation of frameworks this is essential reading about the state of the art in the widest used general purpose MVC frameworks in Europe (it doesn't include CMS/Blog platforms that have been extended to act as application servers like Django or Wordpress).

Re: [Catalyst] Dealing with timestamps from Postgres
Catalyst sure is wide and deep. One can get a reasonably advanced app running in Catalyst without knowing broad stretches of what goes on, or *can* go on, under the hood. There's so much possible, and so many handy methods and plugins that you're gonna A) overlook things on the mad dash to the goal or B) not understand the value of things until much later (like abstracting code to a library, it often takes a few iterations before the utility becomes obvious). This case was a combination of both. I often struggle to find the answer to a has someone else solved this already question, and wind up rolling my own solution... only to run in to someone else's cleverer, cleaner approaches later (often by accident). In order to have 'perfect documentation' it must meet two criteria: A) explain the utility and usage (benefits and how-to) *in a way that I can grok* and B) show up on my radar *in my searches*. Both of these depend a helluva lot on my own activity and context, making compliance impossible. :) Sometimes scar tissue is the only (best?) way to really learn.

[Catalyst] Annoyance with Static::Simple and Log4Perl on Catalyst 5.9
I came across this bug after a recent upgrade to Catalyst 5.9. Static content served by Static::Simple is logged in apps which use Log4Perl for logging. There was a suggestion that using $c-log-_flush would prevent this (which leaves the question of how to detect a development environment to automate this in development). To confirm this I wrote a minimal test case, but I'm not sure where to take it from here. Any ideas? The minimal test case is below: package StaticTest::Controller::Root; use Moose; use namespace::autoclean; BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller' } __PACKAGE__-config(namespace = ''); sub default :Path { my ( $self, $c ) = @_; $c-response-body( $c-welcome_message ); } sub end : ActionClass('RenderView') { my ($self, $c) = @_; $c-log-_flush; # doesn't suppress static logging } __PACKAGE__-meta-make_immutable; 1; package StaticTest; use Moose; use namespace::autoclean; use Log::Log4perl::Catalyst; use Catalyst::Runtime 5.80; use Catalyst qw/ -Debug ConfigLoader Static::Simple /; extends 'Catalyst'; our $VERSION = '0.01'; # doesn't suppress logging of static content after 'finalize' = sub { my ($self) = @_; $self-log-_flush; }; __PACKAGE__-log(Log::Log4perl::Catalyst-new()); __PACKAGE__-config( name = 'StaticTest', disable_component_resolution_regex_fallback = 1, ); __PACKAGE__-setup(); 1; Kieren Diment PhD Candidate Health Informatics Research Lab, Faculty of Informatics, University of Wollongong Tel: +61 4221 3952 ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
