| abc | Randal, thank you, forgive my insolence |
| Randal | which isolence? |
| cfedde | Randal: is CGI::Prototype still viable? |
| abc | maybe i'm thining arrogance |
| Randal | I'm using it nearlye very day |
| mxmasster | hobbs, oh - i thought it just truncated from the perldoc |
| action | CPAN upload: Wx-Demo-0.07 by MBARBON |
| CPAN | upload: Wx-Demo-0.07 by MBARBON |
| cfedde | Randal: just that it had not been updated on cpan since 05. It's either mature or abandoned. :-) |
| Randal | mostly mature it works as it is I have a few things on the todo list but nothing so strong that I wanted to change anything |
| warpzero | Randal, it totally blows my mind that this works |
| Randal | I have a new ->mixin strategy that I need to enter |
| cfedde | it was the one I could understand. the other "fancy" frameworks require more gumption than I seem to be able to generate. |
| Randal | right - that's why I wrote it dirt simple, yet flexible abstracting away the parts that I kept repeating and yet exposing the guts when I wanted to override |
| cfedde | I did a project with it about a year ago. worked quite well even though the project never saw production. abstraction is good! |
| warpzero | where do i read more about closure variables |
| action | amnesiac abstracts himself |
| amnesiac | abstracts himself warpzero, closure variables? |
| abc | ocaml, lisp etc |
| hobbs | variable closure, even :) |
| warpzero | yeah where do i read about this |
| cfedde | warpzero: variables are "closed" a closure is the subroutine that contains closed variables. |
| abc | warpzero, learn ocaml |
| warpzero | i mean in relation to perl |
| abc | oh iunno |
| amnesiac | warpzero, is a common technique used at functional programming languages, implemented in languages such as Perl warpzero, if you just want to learn about the feature itself, just read any reference to that matter |
| warpzero | ok |
| amnesiac | warpzero, try HOP, you'll find it fun |
| warpzero | what is HOP |
| cfedde | closuremust be defined in some perldoc. |
| amnesiac | Higher-Order Perl a book |
