| Teratogen | bah! OOP is not a silver bullet. |
| dazjorz | now for the rest of the 521 people in this channel |
| merlyn | Nope You're right it wasn't being used as a silver bullet but he was asking an OO question |
| dazjorz | OOP is nice. |
| crunge | no, it's a panacea. Silver bullets kill werewolves. |
| Teratogen | OOP is nice for some problems |
| janhaa | if i want to loop through evey byte in a binary string, can i still use for($bin=~/(.)/g) { .. } ? |
| Teratogen | and totally inappropriate for other problems depends on the problem |
| merlyn | janhaa - "byte" or "character"? and that will miss \n if the string is uf8, you'll be very confused. :) |
| janhaa | ok... characterset is not utf8, so therefor i would say byte = char? |
| merlyn | how do you kinow the string is not utf8? |
| sosko | maybe he doesnt want to know. :P |
| janhaa | it's binary data, so i don't really care about the content. |
| merlyn | if it came back from a subroutine, it might be then you don't care to hear my answer, because you don't care to get the proper result. |
| janhaa | huh? |
| merlyn | ... so i don't really care about the content. |
| sosko | merlyn: will that pattern (you spoke about earlier) scale well if there are tens of plugins loaded? |
| merlyn | if you don't care, then neither do I |
| Teratogen | uhm, why is Britney Spears BALD!? |
| janhaa | i simply want to run through chunks of 8 bits in a string. |
| merlyn | sosko - perhaps, unless you have a way of classifying the $messages into categories |
| pif | hi, is there a perl module to convert windows characters to ascii ? (ie: to clean up text pasted in web forms) |
| merlyn | it's the same problem you would have had in the parent class |
| janhaa | uhm... i'll refrase. |
| Teratogen | "windows characters"? |
| xand | pif: they're already IN ascii... do you mean convert newlines? |
