I previously wrote some utilities in Perl, and I am now rewriting them in order to give some new/better features. However, things seem to be going much more slowly than in the original utilities, so I decided to run one with the NYTProf profiler. Great profiler btw, still trying to figure out all its useful features. So anyway, it turns...
I am practising Kata Nine: Back to the CheckOut in Perl whilst also trying to use Moose for the first time.

The following code is lifted directly from the source of the Tie::File module. What do the empty parentheses accomplish in the definition of O_ACCMODE in this context?

I use KiokuDB to store a couple of Moose objects and a couple of simple array structures (hashes and arrays). I do not need any fancy searches, transactions etc., simple the ability to fetch (lookup) an object. Also, as soon as I'm done creating the DB, it can be set read-only. No changes will ever be made to it. The main (only?) reaso...
