dkrGumbyBRAIN: verbing weirds language
GumbyBRAINIt weirds language.
oMishGumbyBRAIN: chrisamtem
GumbyBRAINAnyone ever seen the nudes on your starboard bow.
stuufGumbyBRAINing weirds freenode
GumbyBRAINFreenode is the one from 7 years ago where they don't say if perl's memory allocation and such.
octagonyes when i upload it to CPAN i don't care what it's called, really. if there is some submission process they can rename it to whatever they like
rindolfoctagon: there isn't.
Ani-_octagon: if you are intrested in a better name for it then you can always provide us with more details... then we might be able to do a suggestion
hobbsoctagon: no, it's up to you to give it a good name before you upload it :)
octagon: however there are places where you can _discuss_ the name with people who care
Ani-_octagon: there is no submissions processes. It gets uploaded as is. Which results in a lot of CPAN polluting.
alester"How to treat Great Developers"
Ani-_octagon: and we (= the Perl Communiuty) do not like that.
octagonhobbs, Ani-_: this is interesting. perl is pretty awesome about not being all beaurocratic
alesterrindolf: Your article seems to think that a developer's only job is to write code.
octagoni will discuss before i upload
rindolfalester: I didn't say that.
dkrNet::ACL::Stuff
octagonbut it's kind of vaporware at the moment, so i'm not going to wwaste your time :)
Ani-_octagon: good. That's all we ask.
octagon: some people upload completly useless stuff with crappy names without discussing them.
alesterrindolf: "Leave Your Developers Alone" is saying that.
rindolfalester: and I specifically said there were more productive actions.
Ani-_octagon: the result? A lot of confusion and crappy stuff on CPAN.
rindolfalester: let me see.
alester: have you read what I said below that?
octagonAni-_: i really haven't found anything crappy on CPAN yet
hobbsoctagon: if you haven't really started yet you can also look at Module-Starter, which will set up a bunch of things that you need to make a good distro.
Ani-_octagon: really?
alesteroctagon: http://perl101.org/modules-making-your-own.html
octagonhobbs: I have the modules working, but it's all disorganized and stuff. i'll read those docs and figure it out :)
Ani-_octagon: All of: http://search.cpan.org/~hooo/ and some of: http://search.cpan.org/~dmuey/
kunwon1hoo hoo!
hobbsoctagon: it's there. It's just there's enough really good stuff to distract you :)
octagonhahaha
Ani-_(And that are just two examples.)
hobbs[One line description of module's purpose here]
octagonwhen i saw Parse::Yapp... man that was mindblowing
Ani-_Let's make a new module! Hey, you know what a great name for it would be? perl!
