• Commented on Dawn of a new Age in Perl: How Devel::Declare extends Perl's syntax
  tye, > It seems quite telling that "This means that the handling code does not have to parse Perl" must be followed by "to find the invocations of its syntax"._ > It seems quite humorous for notes of the evils...
• Posted RFC: Weakly proxying Catalyst's context object to Catalyzed.org
  Many of you will have run into this problem: You want to stash a callback in Catalyst that will build you the URL for an action. It’s supposed to be a callback, because you want to dynamically pass an ID...
• Posted Finding Stuff on the CPAN to Catalyzed.org
  When you ask someone in the community about the biggest advantage of using Perl 5, you most often get the answer “CPAN.” At least I have, and I have been agreeing with this point for a long time. Some even...
• Commented on Jumpstarting Reaction Applications
  Exactly! And if the helper can see what models are available, it can present the user with a choice instead of having him figure out what the correct value would be (Schema vs. Model, fully qualified vs. relative after MyApp::...
• Commented on Jumpstarting Reaction Applications
  @bobtfish: Thanks :) Since it's all Moose at the moment, it shouldn't be a problem to unify the work. I want to keep it as extendable as possible, so other projects on CPAN can simply provide extendable helpers as well....
• Commented on When the common becomes too common
  Sorry for taking so long to approve, I need something that electro-shocks me when I forget to read mails :) The PAGER idea is excellent! Thanks you very much, I always forget that that's possible....
• Commented on A detailed look at MooseX-Types
  @Sid Burn, That would work, and I could even imagine someone wanting and writing such an extension. Personally though, I wouldn't use it since you'd lose the compile-time error checking. I myself simply do use My::Types DateTime => { -as...
• Posted Jumpstarting Reaction Applications to Catalyzed.org
  So, it is still a bit of work to setup Reaction applications. The Tutorial walks you through it, but that’s still many lines of code and many places to introduce errors. What I came up with last week is a...
• Posted Keeping your Coercions to yourself to Catalyzed.org
  Last time we took a detailed look at MooseX-Types. In today’s article I want to show you the implications of coercions to global types, why you shouldn’t do it, and how to do it better....
• Posted A detailed look at MooseX-Types to Catalyzed.org
  While most people in Mooseland are using its core typesystem as if it’s been there all the time. The MooseX-Types extension on the other hand is a bit too much magic without obvious advantages to many people. To some it...
• Posted When the common becomes too common to Catalyzed.org
  Here are just some quick helping things that accumulated and I wanted to document: From my .zshrc These are some simple shortcuts for common perldoc functions: alias perlsource='perldoc -m' alias perlwhere='perldoc -l' From my .gvimrc For a long time I...
• Posted Thinking about MooseX-Types import sugar to Catalyzed.org
  As many of you will know by now, Moose comes with its own type system that you can use, extend and introspect. Since the types are handled in a global registry, you have to be concerned about namespaces like with...
• Commented on What alternatives are there to CGI?
  Of course this all depends on the experience of the involved people, but if someone just wants the "new way of CGI" I would point them towards CGI-Application. I have done both CGI-App and Catalyst jobs, and have migrated some...
• Posted Dawn of a new Age in Perl: How Devel::Declare extends Perl's syntax to Catalyzed.org
  For quite some time now there have been appearances of a new type of declarative modules on CPAN. Some of these (but not all) are MooseX::Method::Signatures, giving you a method keyword with signatures and type validation; TryCatch which provides you...
• Posted SWYM (Say What You Mean) - Declarative Catalyst to Catalyzed.org
  Those of you who are not regulars on irc.perl.org or don’t hang out in the #catalyst channel might not be aware of this, but the discussion, planning and chanting was going on for a while. With the recent rise of...
• Posted All the Ways to Skin the Cat: How Reaction renders your Page to Catalyzed.org
  When you build a web application with Catalyst, your controller will retrieve data from your model (or operate on it), prepare it, and put it in the stash so the view can access it. Your layout will be organized by...
• Posted That looks familiar: From Catalyst to Reaction to Catalyzed.org
  If you are a Catalyst developer and hang out in the #catalyst IRC channel a lot, you might already have heard of Reaction. But even then, you might not be sure what it actually is. In this post I try...
