Well fuck. mst had a terrible habit of uh opening his mouth and letting words come out. But very smart, did his damnedest to be kind, usually admitted his failures, and a hell of a lot of energy. A loud, abrasive cornerstone of the #Perl community.

Sounds negative, but no. I'm just acknowledging his issues while saying with full heart that I've missed that fucker and now I'm mad I have to keep missing him.

First mind blowing thing was function signatures just not being a thing, I completely forgot about this.

So the program itself does the Work it needs to. Now I need to figure out how people do testing in #perl in the most arcane way possible. Then some sort of argument parsing.

Inhabe to say there’s quite a bit about the language that feels extra old and klunky. What I do love is how pattern matching is so heavily used. It promotes “just make it work” and I love to fuck w that sort of thing.

Also after writing about #perl the other day I decided to just start writing a program to solve a dumb problem. Sometimes wine will leave dangling processes around depending on a lot of dumb bullshit.

So I wrote a couple of Perl functions to enumerate the cmdline for each process and derive, through re, if it was a wine related pid.

There’s so many ways to properly do this and probably even a perl module for process management. As the saying goes: fuck the police.

I released version 1.16.1 of Rex, the friendly automation framework on #CPAN.

This patch release delivers bug fixes for hostgroup membership lists, executable discovery without `which`, and many others on BSDs and Solaris, including discovering memory usage details.

Special thanks to Ctrl O Ltd for sponsoring Rex maintenance!

Happy hacking!

Why do I keep making subtle mistakes on uploading CPAN modules!

What are your tips on creating a FOSS release without unwanted/wrong information?

I just uploaded Math-Permutation-0.0211, this is the third release I made within two days. Then I found the licensing info on README text file is incorrect. The mistake was made because I recreated the folder structure by Module-Starter, because I kept getting MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json after "perl Makefile.PL; make". On Math-Permutation-0.0210, I found the MANIFEST text file has an unwanted listing "Math-Permutation-0.0201.tar.gz" .
