Issue #78 - January 21, 2013 - Heads in the Cloud latest | archiveHowdie, Yanick speaking here. Gabor is out on a well-deserved vacation, and left me the keys of the PerlWeekly. The fool. Announcements
headgrep : keep the head, and grep the rest
joris joris presents us a small utility script mashing the functionality of the venerable 'head' and 'grep' tools together. A new CMS system hits the shelves, Joel Berger announces. Galileo is very simple, and very pretty. But don't take my word for it, give it a whirl!
Lock::File - yet another file locking module
A new file locking module enters the CPAN fray: Vyacheslav Matyukhin's Lock::File.
Ask not what your user can do for you...
Toby Inkster introduces 'Ask', a new module that does its darnedest to interact with the user. No interactive prompt? I'll try to use Tk, Wx, Gtk2 or even zenity widgets to get its questions across. And it's meant to be easily extended, so that if everything else fails, you can still write your own ESP plugin. Here comes some serious competition for Acme::Magic::Pony. Nicholas Perez introduces CloudPAN, which makes installing (pure perl) modules on local machines a thing of the past. Discussion
The aftermaths of Stevan Little's talk at the Orlando Perl Workshop continue to be felt. Here, it's John Napiorkowski's turn to muse on what was said, and what it means for the future.

Running a Mojolicious non-lite app on a cPanel VPS server
If you want to do it, Rob Hammond provides instructions how to make it happen. Yanick re-heats some Perl Advent leftovers and revisits the Dancer megasplat operator. I tell you HTTP requests and you immediatly think GET and POST, and perhaps PUT, DELETE and all the rest of the REST gang. But what about poor HEAD? Sebastian reminds us about these oft-forgotten requests.
How can I install all favorited distributions from CPAN?
Straight-up question, to which tokuhirom provides a straight-up answer.
