use Perl

I did not know there was outright hostility. Why would that be?

I am ignoring the original post by "ank" as tripe.

loops
variable substitution (of course)
simple config (where templates are found and the like)
maybe the "include" function as well

I wish other editors did it...

Can I actually run Module::Starter with Padre and create a project? I guess I should take a look at it.

There is a glitch happening somewhere. I see posts today but only a couple. Looks like it "died" after 9/11.

I wonder if something like the Badger framework (Andy Wardley) would give most of what you want with Moose but with better numbers. I have never seen them compared. The benefit I see is that Badger doesn't have outside dependencies so would be easier to "ship" with Padre.

Just a thought...

Except for the butterfly...it is nicer on the eyes just from the muted colors.

I can't look at the butterfly either...it induces seizures.

I cannot tell you how painful it was to go to that site. Camelia? A buttefly?! WTF!

All the talk about modern Perl and nice looking web sites for Perl was lost on somebody apparently.

Exactly...and for "learning" books...I can print out a chapter at a time and make annotations. I somehow cringe in writing in a book.

I will get them both and hope the intermediate one comes out as well. :-)

Why not the "intermediate" as well?

That was in reply to the Strawberry Perl release.

That was pretty d*** quick.

For document interchange stuff I use XML and for data interchange stuff I use JSON. That works for me the majority of the time.

Maybe someone can log in as me and get me some karma!
