| overrider | mmkay, thank you, i will read up on dispatch |
| zamolxes | hrm , i always keep the arrow . Wonder where I picked that habit up. Probably PBP |
| merlyn | arrow required in 5.6 been using 5.8 for long enough now I invented that arrow for 5.4 :) |
| zamolxes | merlyn++ #inventor of stuff |
| action | merlyn bows |
| merlyn | bows |
| ajit | merlyn: Thanks a lot to insert my records. now I want to view all records from same table emp. |
| merlyn | "on a bet for an adult beverage" |
| crunge | merlyn: not that I don't appreciate it, but why do you hang out here so much? Just curious |
| dj_goku | likes to help people? |
| quamaretto | crunge: Have you see "The Prestige"? |
| merlyn | Yeah, I like to help people |
| ajit | yes, I am php guy and I saw perl syntax is similar to php so just curious to learn this. |
| merlyn | but I also liek to keep a pulse on what people need |
| crunge | quamaretto: not yet |
| quamaretto | :( Nevermind then. |
| merlyn | and no better way than to work here. :) |
| dj_goku | ahh |
| merlyn | getting questions from here guides my next column/book/course |
| ajit | I just installed bugzilla. this was my first perl project. |
| merlyn | if I know what people want, then my stuff will be more wanted |
| crunge | makes sense... technical issues that get escalated to me but customer support become training topics |
| dj_goku | zamolxes: that bad thing is I am learning SQL to do MS SQL work so =( |
| merlyn | this is also a substitute for a social life :) |
| zamolxes | dj_goku: the differences won't hurt you |
| crunge | merlyn: well, when the time is right, I think a "Why you shouldn't be afraid of Perl6" book might be in order |
| merlyn | it's also fun when someone recognizes me from my books/columns/keynotes |
| zamolxes | dj_goku: you probably have a full reference to the mssql thing |
| merlyn | we're commissioned to rewrite the llama for perl6 already it looks like we'll be putting it online for "personal use only" |
| dj_goku | zamolxes: I have a bunch of devs at work so if I need I can just ask =) |
| merlyn | unlike the previous books |
| crunge | merlyn: just make sure it does explain why all the people who will be deathly afraid to switch from Perl5 shouldn't worry |
| dj_goku | online as in ebook? |
| ajit | merlyn: you have solved my main problem. I can learn other things from google. If I will be stuck up then will ask. Thanks and bye. |
| merlyn | online as in a website you can read it from |
| crunge | dj_goku: online as in "holding down the router" |
