Well, it took 17 years, but I finally discovered Perl's half-joke “install" module by accidentally typing "install" while trying to install something. https://metacpan.org/pod/install #Perl

I think I have settled into a pattern for benchmarking and deploying #Perl code which I followed here:
https://github.com/chrisarg/benchmarking-bits
Use #perlbrew to install a fresh version of #perl , switch to that version and through the process of testing-in-production figure out what is missing so that it can become part of the installation script.
Thinking of doing something similar with #rstats but since there is no equivalent to #perlbrew perhaps setup chroot environments?

The year is 2026 and I just fixed some broken Perl code. Living in the future, baby.
Doing Rust the *right* way
@davidgerard This is hilarious for sure😂
Wondering if Rust Foundation will copyright strike them as they claim to be endorsed by it🤔
This is actually kind of an LLM-based attack on the #rustlang ecosystem after all. Thinking about how funny I'd find this if it was attacking users of my favorite programming language ( #Perl). This is funny but is it actually legitimate?? 🤔

@leobm @enigma #lisp is something that does this image based thing to. Most of the time you save the current state of your app and deploy it :D. I love the idea too cause its exactly what containers do now. I would love to see stuff like there also more often. I really want to get started in #perl somehow no clue why but the idea of there is more than one way to describe a problem is really nice. And most of the time i get this feeling in #clojure and #lisp to because you can extend the language. I really want to see what #perl does that gives it its nature of beeing expressive and "hard" to read.
