Can anyone recommend some good IDEs or editors for Mason? At this point I'm just using VIM but it would be nice to have an editor that supports syntax highlighting as well as general syntax checking. There are plenty that support Perl of course, but when it comes to files with Mason and Perl intertwined the editors tend to get confus...
(This question was reworded; please, give it a second chance before deleting it again!) It would be nice if there existed a program that automatically transforms Perl code to Python code, making the resultant Python program as readable and maintainable as the original one, let alone working the same way. The most obvious solution would...

Starting in Perl 5.10, it is now possible to lexically scope the context variable $_, either explicitly as my $_; or in a given / when construct. Has anyone found good uses of the lexical $_? Does it make any constructs simpler / safer / faster? What about situations that it makes more complicated? Has the lexical $_ introduced any b...
Is there any web language that allows the client itself to create HTTP posts to external sites. I know that JavaScript does this with XMLHttpRequest, but it does not allow cross-domain posting, unless the recipient domain wants to allow the sending domain. I want to post data to an external site (that I don't control) and have the requ...

I have a big xml file and parsing it consumes a lot of memory. since I believe most of it is due to a lot of user name in the file. I changed the length of each user name from ~28 Bytes to 10 bytes. and run again. but it still takes almost the same amount of memory. the xml file is so far parsed with SAX and during handling, the result i...
Hi all: There's a bunch of different Cache implementations in CPAN. I'm using Cache::File (because it is installed on my operating system) but I also see references to File::Cache, Cache:FileCache, Cache::Cache, and so on. Many appear to be implementations of "the cache interface" which appears to be either module "Cache" or "Cache::Ca...

We are trying to build an API to support commit() and rollback() automatically, so that we don't have to bother with it anymore. By researching, we have found that using eval {} is the way to go. For eval {} to know what to do, I have thought of giving the API an array of functions, which it can execute with a foreach without the API ha...

I encountered some strange behavior which hints that I do not understand some basic things about Perl script execution and initialization order. The following example: #!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use warnings; print &get_keys(), "\n"; use vars qw/%hello/; # same effect with 'my %hello = (...);' %hello = ( a => 1, b => 2 ); sub ...
My goal is to be able to use $obj like this: print $obj->hello() . $obj->{foo}; And I would like to create an object inline, maybe using something like this: my $obj = ( foo => 1, hello => sub { return 'world' } ); but when I try to use $obj as an object, I get an error saying that $obj has not been blessed. Is there some b...
