    Enhancing Perl 6 Pattern Matching with Ideas from Snobol4 and Other Sources Name: Morris M. Siegel, Ph.D. Email: Amount Requested: $3000 The substance of my proposed alternative pattern-matching specification has already been essentially worked out as a self-funded research project, as it were. I felt this project was of such importance that it was worthwhile giving myself a sort of sabbatical to develop it. It has taken rather longer than

  • 2010 Grant Proposal: Improve Dist::Zilla Sat, 06-Feb-2010 by Alberto Simões
    in: Grants

    Improve Dist::Zilla's Tests, Documentation, and Structure Name: Ricardo Signes Email: Amount Requested: $2000 Synopsis Dist::Zilla is a tool that helps Perl programmers build distributions for the CPAN. It eliminates boilerplate, handles packaging, interfaces with changelogs and version control, improves prerequisite management, and generally makes it easier to be a CPAN author.

    in: Grants

    CPAN reviews Name: Alexandr Ciornii Email: Amount Requested: $1200 Synopsis Many CPAN modules have good documentation, many have bad documentation. But there is no such thing as enough documentation. There are many good reviews, examples, descriptions outside CPAN. I propose to collect them and cataloguize. I want to make a site with links to reviews of CPAN modules. In general this site should be community-moderated, community-edited and allow users adding

  • Events Mailing List Mon, 21-Dec-2009 by Karen Pauley
    in: Marketing

    Over the past few weeks discussions have been taking place on our Marketing list regarding different ways to promote Perl. One idea we are running with is promoting Perl at technical conferences where the main focus isn't Perl. Gabor has "announced":http://szabgab.com/blog/2009/12/1260171050.html that there will be a Perl booth at "FOSDEM":http://www.fosdem.org/2010/ in February next year.

  • Tcl::Tk for parrot/rakudo grant updates Fri, 04-Dec-2009 by Alberto Simões
    in: Grants

    Follows the update from Vadim on his grant: I've implemented 'call' method for interpreter object, which takes already parsed parameters and passes them to tcl/tk interpreter. It is similar to 'eval' method, but it should be faster, and also safer to use, because there will be no need to protect/escape special characters before calls. Also, widget calls to tcl/tk library are based on this method. Also, 'tk' widgets could be

    in: Grants

    Eric Roode sent the following update: bq. The status is basically that the writing is taking much, much longer than I had expected. I had thought I'd be able to document a couple classes per hour; instead, it's taking me a few hours per class. I don't really know what to do to speed up the process, so I am just continuing to plug along. At the rate I'm going,

    Over the last two weeks, Eric has done a lot of things... bq. I've added the "CPAN and Perl Configuration Howto" to the site. Feedback so far has been good.
