The test suite for MooX::Pression used to run in 79 seconds on my laptop. Now it’s at 10 seconds. And no, I didn’t cut out any tests — I switched from using Keyword::Declare to a combination of Keyword::Simple and PPR….
Perl has some really great community websites. But a drawback to this is that the Perl community is centred around a few domain names, which means that it isn’t as visible as some other languages. Most projects use github for…
Kind of like Moops but with less hacky parsing….
Type::Tiny 1.8.0 (1.008000) was released today. Type::Tiny 1.8.0 on MetaCPAN Type::Tiny website (NEW!) The new features are pretty minor. Most of the improvements are in documentation and testing. Totally rewritten manual/tutorial. Every issue on RT has been handled. Bigger test…
I’ve been trying to update the docs for Type::Tiny and want feedback. Is there anything that’s hard to understand, or needs explaining more? New version Old version In particular, it’s Type::Tiny::Manual and the other pod pages in that namespace that…
MooX::Press is a quick way of building a bunch of Moo roles and classes in one use statement. The most basic example would be: package MyApp { use MooX::Press class => [‘Foo’, ‘Bar’]; } my $thing1 = MyApp::Foo->new(); my…
Type::Tiny is probably best known as a way of having Moose-like type constraints in Moo, but it can be used for so much more. This is the seventh in a series of posts showing other things you can use…

Perl allows pretty much any value to be evaluated in a boolean context: if ($something) { … } No matter what $something is, it will safely evaluate to either true or false. (With the exceptions of a few edge cases…
Why learn a whole new language for templating when you already know a perfectly good one? This isn't the first module that allows you to embed Perl in your templates, but it's yet another one. Template::Compiled on MetaCPAN….
So, Type::Tiny 1.2.0 (a.k.a. 1.002000 using Perlish decimals) is now available on CPAN. Highlights since 1.0.0:…
Or 1.002000, because it uses Moo-like versioning. The Type::Tiny 1.1 (1.001_00x) development cycle has been going on since September 2014. Apparently I'm either very concerned about stability or very lazy. You can make up your own minds about that. But…
Hi⦠remember me? Been away a while, and now I have a whole heap of bug reports to get through. But you, dear reader, I'm giving the inside track. If there's a bug in one of my modules and you…
As you may be aware, I'm writing a book which will eventually become a free e-book. This is my third report on how I'm getting along….
I've just arrived back from the London Perl Workshop. Lots of very interesting stuff. A big thank you to the organizers! I especially liked: Extending Syntax – Functional Programming meets Macros by LanX; The Internet of Personification by Matt S…
