I need donations to CamelBones. Or web hosting customers. Or consulting
clients. Or a plain old-fashioned job. Or something - and I need it soon.



Good luck Sherm. I wish I had work I could punt your way. I wish even 
more that Apple had picked you up and made CamelBones a first class 
citizen.


So, why has Apple ignored CamelBones?. Why did the OS X loving bit of 
the perl community sit by and let PyObjC become the default bridge. 
How depressing is it that there's not even a mention of perl in this 
quick round up by John Gruber (himself a keen user of perl)?

And that's before Rails gets bundled by default with Leopard...

Because the vast majority of perl people who moved to OS X did so
because it was Unix That Worked On A Laptop and not because it was Mac.
Too many of us still sneer at anything non-Unix.

Have you considered a Perl Foundation Grant?  Surely this is more worthy 
than some of the other grants they've done.

Hi Sherm,

I have some work for you.  I use ruby and the mechanize object to  
pull down pages off the web and parse them.  There is a lot of  
mystery involved with it, especially in debugging.  I am flying blind  
and
can't see what I am getting back.  Especially logging in and  
redirection. The documentation is very light.  I would be willing to  
pay you $700 for an ebook 10 pages or so, that describes how to set  
up an environment for debugging mech issues and stepwise shows ways  
to solve them.  You would be free to sell the ebook to others as well.
