| merlyn | proceed, loiic! ask your #perl-related question here! if it's about beer or sheep, we'll understand! |
| loiic | in my script i'd like to ask for user confirmation from the standard input, something like (Y/n), i was wondering what was the very simplest way to do that, as it is only a 1 character input ? |
| merlyn | there's IO::Prompt |
| Ikarus | merlyn: being a little too cheery ? |
| merlyn | a damiam module damian |
| jdv79 | anyone think the p5 fork'll happen? |
| merlyn | a fellow ozzy, that guy |
| loiic | IO:Prompt, checking it out |
| merlyn | p5 wants to fork? |
| jdv79 | i predict its a non-starter |
| merlyn | there isn't enough resources to keep two projects going it'll go as far as "rindolf" did. :) |
| jdv79 | i've read a few accounts of people threatening |
| merlyn | damn accountants |
| jdv79 | merlyn: exactly |
| merlyn | they should stick to multiplying and dividing in the corner. :) |
| quinlan | hi folks are there any perl modules to make it dirt-simple to set up a form that can be hooked up to various functions -- I'm looking for something a bit nicer looking than CGI.pm and my own HTML |
| merlyn | Catalyst? if you're wanting CRUD to a database create - retrieve - update - delete |
| quinlan | I'm not sure what CRUD is, but it'll be queries against a DB |
| merlyn | C R U D |
| quinlan | :-) |
| merlyn | That's what they call it |
| action | quinlan looks at Catalyst |
| quinlan | looks at Catalyst |
| merlyn | Also see Jifty different take on same problem ... ABCD: add, browse, change, delete ... VADE(R): view, add, delete, edit (and restore, for systems supporting transaction processing) heh ... BREAD: browse, read, edit, add, delete |
| quinlan | hrm these are like things I would use to create a real application :-) |
| merlyn | exactly! |
