We've expanded our Perl news coverage and improved our search! Search for all things Perl across O'Reilly! Phil Crow
Phil Crow, having returned from a year in urban South Africa, is now a Perl programmer for Sunflower Broadband in Lawrence, KS. He is still interested in a wide variety of patterns implementations, especially those which use the richness of Perl. If you share this interest, visit Perlish Patterns to see his thoughts. Then, consider joining the mailing list: perlishpatterns-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. The Beauty of Perl 6 Parameter Passing Perl 6 isn't quite out yet, but you can learn and play with it today in various incarnations. One of the most compelling new features is a revamped and revised mechanism of parameter passing. Phil Crow demonstrates how powerful it is, and how you can gradually adopt more and more powerful constructs. [Mar 1, 2007] Generating UML and Sequence Diagrams Sometimes a picture can save you thousands of words of description--and debugging. A sequence diagram shows the flow of methods and function calls between modules. Perl lets you generate these almost automatically for Perl code--or even Java. Phil Crow shows how to use UML::Sequence. [Aug 3, 2006] Still More Perl Lightning Articles Perl lightning articles are short, direct, and full of electrifying practical information. This time, Steven Philip Schubiger demonstrates how to convert crufty MakeMaker installation scripts into shiny pure-Perl installers, Phil Crow demonstrates the use of Java's powerful Swing UI toolkit from Perl, Joshua McAdams explains how to turn any module into a script, and chromatic removes duplication from test suites. [Jul 13, 2006] Testing Files and Test Modules Perl hackers work with files all day long, creating, renaming, updating, editing, and munging them. Do you know your file-manipulation code works, though? That's why Phil Crow wrote Test::Files--to gain confidence and practice good coding. Here's how it works and how he tested a test module. [Dec 8, 2005] Symbol Table Manipulation One of the most dramatic advantages of dynamic languages is that they provide access to the symbol table at run-time, allowing new functions and variables to spring into existence as you need them. Though they're not always the right solution to common problems, they're very powerful and useful in certain circumstances. Phil Crow demonstrates how and when and why to manipulate Perl's symbol table. [Mar 17, 2005] Bringing Java into Perl Phil Crow explains how to use Java code from inside of Perl, using the Inline::Java module. [Nov 7, 2003] Perl Design Patterns, Part 3 Phil Crow concludes his series on patterns in Perl, with a discussion of patterns and objects. [Aug 15, 2003] Perl Design Patterns, Part 2 Phil Crow continues his series on how some popular patterns fit into Perl programming. [Aug 7, 2003] Perl Design Patterns The Gang-of-Four Design Patterns book had a huge impact on programming methodologies in the Java and C++ communities, but what do Design Patterns have to say to Perl programmers? Phil Crow examines how some popular patterns fit in to Perl programming. [Jun 13, 2003] |
