Wrapped up an awesome 6-month bioinformatics #Python -> #Terraform -> #AWS gig. Open to new telecommute Python / #Golang / #Perl software stacks, database thrashing / analytics, or DevOps / cloud infrastructure work.
Thanks for any leads, boosts!

I seldom release modules to #CPAN mainly because there’s so much great stuff there already. An answer on StackOverflow about pretty printing DBIx::Class result sets got me thinking. I then climbed onto the shoulders of several giants to create a wee module which does just that. Introducing DBIx::Class::ResultSet::PrettyPrint!

Today on Perl.com, @ology discusses enhancing MIDI controllers with custom Perl modules. He shows how to create real-time filters that transform simple key presses into complex musical patterns, with audio examples to showcase the creative possibilities. #MIDI #Perl

#Perl
Wrote my first #Perl script today for the 1st time in like forever. Thought it was nice. Now reading the Camel book, as one does in 2025.
New #Perl module unleashed to the wild. It is a work in progress, with a single filter so far. It's based on my code (in the original post) to modulate any synth control-change parameters. Soon, it will have all manner of generic control-change functionality! :D
I love setting my mini Korg #synth to what I call the "Kraftwerk arpeggiation" (program A.61 "Retro") and letting the modwheel slowly sweep through its range, up and down with the #Perl program, https://github.com/ology/MIDI-RtController/blob/main/eg/control_change.pl - Hypnotizing...
And here's what that sounds like.
Fav thing this morning, after joining the local library here, an email with a genuine cgi-bin URL and a Perl program on the backend (given the URL ending) still in service! Made my heart sing.
Added Math::Polygon to my Perl and I can now generate the Fibonacci snowflakes including their sashiko innards. Here are the order 5 and 6 snowflakes.
I just saw a malware exploit programmed this year in the #perl programming language. Perl. This year.
At first I thought it might be PHP. But some of the keywords struck me as odd, and it definitely was reading command-line arguments, a feature not regularly on display in PHP as it's geared to web page generation.
Then I thought maybe it's c. But it used object-oriented method accessors and had no header imports.
Perl. Still used in many a Linux and Unix-based distro. And in malware.
Created https://metacpan.org/dist/Types-Music this morning. It's something I've wanted for a long time - specific parameter types for validating music software, like `BPM` or 'Named_Note_Octave` for things like 120, or "Bb5", etc. Woo!
Any #Perl devs with #PerlDancer #Dancer2 experience and #PlackTest experience able to give me a debugging hint? An app I’m trying to migrate from Alpine to Debian works as expected on the new image but in the testing context it’s not creating a session from the cookie being sent in the test request.

I am in urgent job search mode, so I'm gonna throw this out here and see if anything comes of it.
I am a #Canadian, fluent in both #English and #French. I have experience with several programming languages. My strongest proficiency is with #Haskell and #C. I also have a reasonable grasp of #HTML, #JavaScript, #SQL, #Python, #Lua, #Linux system administration, #bash scripting, #Perl, #AWK, some #Lisp (common, scheme, and emacs), and probably several others I've forgotten to mention.
I am not necessarily looking for something in tech. I just need something stable. I have done everything from software development, to customer support, to factory work, though my current circumstances make in-person work more difficult than remote work. I have been regarded as a hard worker in every job I have ever held.
@hobbsc @ology
if by popularity, you mean taught in college and lots of entry level jobs for RCGs, no.
if by popularity, do we like them?
yes we who follow one or both of those tags do.
(if you asked # 
, they'd say #perl was dead; but they think tabs are syntax, so I'd take their opinions with about 4 Tbsp Salt.)
I’ve really enjoyed working with @ology on his toolkit for scoring #MIDI #drumming, MIDI-Drummer-Tiny. He’s patiently answered my questions and had the grace to accept my pull requests, most of which haven’t so much added new features as they’ve helped clarify how to use the library successfully.
Gene has helped me get back into the swing of #Perl #programming after months of inactivity, and I’m looking forward to working with him more in the future. I couldn’t have asked for a better collaborator.
@rincewind Why the hate? Use something different if you don't like #Perl.
