I released Validator::Custom 1.01. More simple and more flexible interface is added.
Document is rewrited completely. Backword compatible is kept completely.

Validator::Custom

• Checking functions and filtering functions is added. You can use these in your source code.
• A validation object which save the result of validation is added.

Usage

　You can use checking function and filtering functions. The validation result is saved to the validation object. You don't need to learn complex things.

I did this a few years ago and it resulted in The Lacuna Expanse. I’m thinking I may be due for another one.?

Hey everyone,

Following is the p5p (Perl 5 Porters) mailing list summary for the past week, including the first Monday of this week. Enjoy!

Although I am not Jewish, I wanted to post o/t and wish Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish friends in the Perl community.

Also, thanks for a great excuse to eat jam donuts and charge it to the company.

Maybe you've read my recent post about App::Spec.

As an example, I've written a wrapper around the corelist tool, which adds shell completion.

Since the options of the original tool weren't ideal for completion, I added subcommands.

Perl Versions, features and modules are completable.

The script is in part a wrapper around corelist, and partly I stole code from it.

• The spec file
• The script
• pod documentation

I attached a little gif animation which shows the script in action:

On the 1st of October I launched a daring crowdfunding campaign. I asked over thirty companies directly relying on my open source work to split a rather modest bill, allowing me to exclusively focus for at least a year on several key parts of the Perl5 library repository (CPAN). Two months later, after a really promising start, the campaign is effectively dead.

I'm doing heater runs in Taungoo Station when someone tells me about a problem in Nouveau Limoges, another station in the Sol System. I mosey on down to the port, hop in Serenity, my corvette class spaceship (with some "quiet" modifications), and launch. Serenity's an older ship and she higher maintenance than I would like, but she keeps flying and that's good enough for me.

A little over 7 segments later (a long, boring flight), I arrive at Nouveau Limoges. And that's when the trouble kicks in. You see, I'm a Consortium citizen, but Nouveau Limoges is a Gaul station and I forgot to renew my visa. Immigration computers notice my status and I get auto-deported back to the station I came from: except I am still on Serenity and she doesn't have enough anti-matter reserves to make the flight back. An HTTP redirect loop ensues and ...

I found that bug hilarious and it will be fun to resolve. Sadly, it probably won't be me who fixes it, even though I want to dig in.

We started a kickstarter to write and print a Dancer book. We have less than 10 days to sponsor it and we need your help!

We want to thank Evozon, Booking.com, and Weborama who have provided a generous donation to make this happen.

If you would like to see this book published you can help fund it. And if you work for a company that uses Perl and could use a few copies of the book, please consider suggesting they help sponsor the book as well.

What will you get? You will get an official Dancer book written by the core team. You will get the latest features covered - Dancer2! You will get examples that cover practical usage - websites and web APIs. You will get our appreciation and thanks. And above all, you will get to know you helped sponsor a new Modern Perl book, by people who write modern software out of community interest and wrote the book for the benefit of the community and the language.
