  • "This Book Was a Joy to Read. It Covered All Sorts of Techniques for Debugging, Including 'Defensive' Paradigms That Will Eliminate Bugs in the First Place
    Perl Debugged By Peter Scott, Ed Wright Publisher : Addison Wesley Pub Date : March 01, 2001 ISBN : 0-201-70054-9 Table of • Pages : 288 Contents "This book was a joy to read. It covered all sorts of techniques for debugging, including 'defensive' paradigms that will eliminate bugs in the first place. As coach of the USA Programming Team, I find the most difficult thing to teach is debugging. This is the first text I've even heard of that attacks the problem. It does a fine job. Please encourage these guys to write more." -Rob Kolstad Perl Debugged provides the expertise and solutions developers require for coding better, faster, and more reliably in Perl. Focusing on debugging, the most vexing aspect of programming in Perl, this example-rich reference and how-to guide minimizes development, troubleshooting, and maintenance time resulting in the creation of elegant and error-free Perl code. Designed for the novice to intermediate software developer, Perl Debugged will save the programmer time and frustration in debugging Perl programs. Based on the authors' extensive experience with the language, this book guides developers through the entire programming process, tackling the benefits, plights, and pitfalls of Perl programming. Beginning with a guided tour of the Perl documentation, the book progresses to debugging, testing, and performance issues, and also devotes a chapter to CGI programming in Perl. Throughout the book, the authors espouse defensible paradigms for improving the accuracy and performance of Perl code. In addition, Perl Debugged includes Scott and Wright's "Perls of Wisdom" which summarize key ideas from each of the chapters, and an appendix containing a comprehensive listing of Perl debugger commands.

  • Name Description
    Perl version 5.10.0 documentation - perlnewmod NAME perlnewmod - preparing a new module for distribution DESCRIPTION This document gives you some suggestions about how to go about writingPerl modules, preparing them for distribution, and making them availablevia CPAN. One of the things that makes Perl really powerful is the fact that Perlhackers tend to want to share the solutions to problems they've faced,so you and I don't have to battle with the same problem again. The main way they do this is by abstracting the solution into a Perlmodule. If you don't know what one of these is, the rest of thisdocument isn't going to be much use to you. You're also missing out onan awful lot of useful code; consider having a look at perlmod, perlmodlib and perlmodinstall before coming back here. When you've found that there isn't a module available for what you'retrying to do, and you've had to write the code yourself, considerpackaging up the solution into a module and uploading it to CPAN so thatothers can benefit. Warning We're going to primarily concentrate on Perl-only modules here, ratherthan XS modules. XS modules serve a rather different purpose, andyou should consider different things before distributing them - thepopularity of the library you are gluing, the portability to otheroperating systems, and so on. However, the notes on preparing the Perlside of the module and packaging and distributing it will apply equallywell to an XS module as a pure-Perl one. What should I make into a module? You should make a module out of any code that you think is going to beuseful to others.

A Look Inside: TPF Inside: A Look President’s Message This has been a great year for The Perl Foundation. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and corporate partners, the commitment of our volunteers, and the vitality and energy of our community, we have been able to continue in our mission to advance the Perl programming language. As you know, TPF depends on donations, both of time and money, to operate. These donations have made it possible for us to provide financial support to key developers of Perl 5 and Perl 6, to continue our efforts in protecting our trademark, and to support many community programs. One of the pillars of Perl is its community. We recently launched an initiative, the Community Advocacy Committee, targeting the growth and health of the Perl community. With the help of this committee we plan to not only improve communication within our own community but to expand our links with other F/OSS communities. This year has been one pointing to a great future for Perl and those who use it.

  • COMS 3101 Programming Languages: Perl Lecture 5
    COMS 3101 Programming Languages: Perl Lecture 5 Fall 2013 Instructor: Ilia Vovsha http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~vovsha/coms3101/perl Lecture Outline Packages & Modules Concepts: Subroutine references SbliSymbolic references Garbage collection Saving structures Objects and Classes Next: More OOP, CPAN 5.2 Remarks Pattern matching “cage” can be any character: • m// or // is equivalent to m{} • s/// is equivalent to s{} {} • // are just customary quote characters for pattern matching behavior. In fact you could choose your own character instead of {} (e.g. m ! !) • Convenient if lots of slhlashes in the pattern ref function: returns type of reference (a string) • $rtype = ref($href); # returns “HASH” • $rtype = ref($aref); # returns “ARRAY” • if ( ref($href) eq “HASH” ) { … } 5.3 Packages & Modules Why do we need them? Package or module, what is the difference? ‘use’ vs. ‘require’ Importing from another package Pragmatic modules (ppgragmas) 5.4 Packages (purpose) sub parse_text { # code from one file … $count = $count++; … } sub normalize { # code from another file $count++; … } # Use both functions: parse_text(); normalize(); print “$count\n”; # Which $count? What is its value? 5.5 Packages (definition) Balanced code: abstraction + reuse Every chkhunk of code has its own namespace. In PlPerl, a namespace is called a package Independent of files: • Multiple packages in one file • Single package spanning multiple files • Most common: one package per file Best approach: one package per file where file name is package name

  • Name Introduction Quick Checklist
    Perl version 5.10.0 documentation - perlmodstyle NAME perlmodstyle - Perl module style guide INTRODUCTION This document attempts to describe the Perl Community's "best practice"for writing Perl modules. It extends the recommendations found in perlstyle , which should be considered required readingbefore reading this document. While this document is intended to be useful to all module authors, it isparticularly aimed at authors who wish to publish their modules on CPAN. The focus is on elements of style which are visible to the users of a module, rather than those parts which are only seen by the module's developers. However, many of the guidelines presented in this documentcan be extrapolated and applied successfully to a module's internals. This document differs from perlnewmod in that it is a style guiderather than a tutorial on creating CPAN modules. It provides achecklist against which modules can be compared to determine whether they conform to best practice, without necessarily describing in detailhow to achieve this. All the advice contained in this document has been gleaned fromextensive conversations with experienced CPAN authors and users. Everypiece of advice given here is the result of previous mistakes. Thisinformation is here to help you avoid the same mistakes and the extrawork that would inevitably be required to fix them. The first section of this document provides an itemized checklist; subsequent sections provide a more detailed discussion of the items on the list. The final section, "Common Pitfalls", describes some of the most popular mistakes made by CPAN authors. QUICK CHECKLIST For more detail on each item in this checklist, see below.
