| buubot | (my($bar) = (() = ('foo', 'bar', 'baz'))); |
| doug | yeah, right to left. dunno what the confusion is. |
| f00li5h | doug: nor do i |
| black_13 | is there trimmed down perl ? |
| tag- | perl is pretty small as is, but there is miniperl |
| black_13 | i am working on a live cd (#debian-live project) and it uses perl to autoconfigure xorg |
| sili_ | tag-: sup |
| jeremyb | eval: trim(' perl ') |
| buubot | jeremyb: Error: Undefined subroutine &main::trim called at eval line 1. |
| sili_ | perldoc -q trim err perlbot: trim |
| perlbot | to trim, do: s/^\s+//, s/\s+$// for $string; |
| tag- | sili_: what's up is python doesn't make much sense. |
| black_13 | tag-, the debian perl package has lots of pm's |
| tag- | black_13: and why is this a concern? |
| f00li5h | eval: ($perl =' perl ' ) =~ s/^\s+|\s+$//g; $perl |
| buubot | f00li5h: perl |
| sili_ | tag-: I tend to strongly disagree with Guido |
| tag- | black_13: it's called a "standard library" |
| jeremyb | damn |
| pstickne_ | perl... small? ^^ |
| tag- | black_13: most languages have it, believe it or not, and sometimes it's pretty big. pstickne_: compare it to java, or pike, or something else. Yeah sure. |
| jeremyb | sili: i just saw it used in perl... i guess it's in a project lib :-/ |
| f3ew | The C folks call it libc |
| tag- | sili_: I can't say I don't either - but more importantly, the language he's designed seems like a horrendous mess. |
| f00li5h | black_13: debian installs perl without the docs and (perhaps) the core modules, in order to make it smaller |
| jeremyb | f3ew: ? |
| pstickne_ | some things in python seem kinda neat |
| sili_ | tag-: being forced to use it somewhere? |
| pstickne_ | (<-- comes from Ruby these days ^^) |
| f3ew | jeremyb "standard library" |
| black_13 | f00li5h, so what i have is "small" god i would hat to see if it was big |
| f00li5h | black_13: that's what she said! |
| jeremyb | f3ew: oh, nm |
| black_13 | f00li5h, its not the size of the ship but the number of d-cells |
| tag- | sili_: sort of, there is a real nice piece of technology that is built in python. I'm using it, and it's various extension APIs. So, forced -- only by virtue of what I'm trying to accomplish, but yes. |
