use Perl

my $xyzzy = 1; # Well hidilly-ho, scalareno!

Yup.

Just FYI, cpan doesn't seem to like 'install' from the command line:

cpan install Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI

It looks like you specified 'install' as an argument to cpan(1). This
script is not the CPAN.pm prompt and doesn't understand the same commands.
In fact, doesn't require the extra typing. You probably just want to
list the modules you want to install:

                cpan Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI

See the documentation for more details on using this script.

Hah, that's interesting

Yes, AFAIK Module::Pluggable doesn't cache its results, to each time you call ->plugins it will rescan the hierarchy

Usually people only load a config at startup once, so it's not typically a problem

In Config::Any:

{ my (@plugins, $loaded); sub plugins { return @plugins if $loaded; $loaded = 1; return @plugins = $finder->plugins } }

Yes, it has the command-line sugar, but it also needs to be able to complete successfully (I realize this can be problematic with out-of-date installations)

Finally, we need to blat "cpan -i (package)" over the web so people can easily find out how to do it. Maybe even include some pointers to local::lib

Can you be a little bit more specific about how you want CPAN2 to work?

This has been a sore point for me lately, I really think we need to do a better job of lowering the barrier of entry to access CPAN.

For example, if I do some searches for CPAN (on Google), it's difficult to find clear instructions on how to install stuff. The examples I've seen show something like this:

                perl -MCPAN -e shell

BEFORE introducing

                cpan -i

I mean really, put the newbie into a strange environment? Not a great idea IMHO.

http://sial.org/howto/perl/life-with-cpan/ is really terrific, I mean, a wonderful resource. However, there's no clear synopsis on the top on how to install, say, Moose.

Installing a CPAN module should be as easy as doing

                  apt-get install (package)

Perl IS CPAN, and we need to make it more accessible to the newish developer.

Right tool for the job

Sometimes procedural is the way to go, there's nothing wrong with that

my $p = Net::Ping->new(); my $alive = $p->ping('127.0.0.1'); ok( $alive, 'testing localhost' ); $p->close;


... screams Java to me... scary

I noticed you are using a role called 'ResultSource'

Are you using DBIx::Class?

If so, how are you integrating it with Moose? Are you extending the DBIx::Class'es or are you wrapping the storage object (the row)?
That is, do you have two classes for each business entity: one for the model and one for the storage (DBIx::Class)?

I like Does::

How do you store roles in a project (where do they go in your namespace)?

Do you have a special package, like:

MyFramework::Role::Does*
