This day 30 years ago - on Oct 26th 1995, #CPAN (the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network) was announced to the world by Jarkko Hietaniemi – CPAN's Self-Appointed Master Librarian (OOK!), to the comp.lang.perl.announce newsgroup.

Happy Birthday, CPAN!

In a world where processes die screaming, one language refuses to terminate.

From the twisted minds of P5P and the vision of Larry Wall comes the nightmare sysadmins fear to `ps aux`:

#Perl. You cannot `kill -9` what is already dead.

Coming soon to a terminal near you.

Okay, so I need to know if any #perl ppl out there know of modules that can take ALL capital phrases and change that to correct upper and lower case text.

The reason? I have a lot of 90's and 2000's subtitles in SRT format that I'm SO TIRED of being in all uppercase. I would like it to be perfect, but it doesn't have to be. Names, proper nouns, start of sentences, etc ...

Can anyone point me to a module?

Thanks! (tagging a few ppl I'm hoping could help me.)

#Perl

I'm gonna be really hurt if y'all don't like it.

It's 116 lines of #perl, gorramit!

Admittedly, some of that is whitespace and just closing brackets, parens, and braces....

But still! It's like, 90ish lines of code!

I have a strong feeling that the famous Camel Book is the worst choice when you want to learn #Perl from scratch.
I mean, I'm hundred pages in and feel like I know less Perl then before I have started the book. Wall makes Perl seem so convoluted and arbitrary, it doesn't make sense sometimes.
Maybe it's just the best book you need when you already know the language, not when you want to learn it.

Happy #CPAN day, everyone!

On this day 30 years ago, 1995-08-16, the Comprehensive #Perl Archive Network had its first module upload.

How do you folks celebrate?

This is pretty neat. Some draft notes on how to get self-hosting a web presence on #OpenBSD, starting with the httpd(8) webserver

I would have gone with #PHP ( or #Perl, which comes with the system ), but it's a great starting point
