Made some changes to the exporting code, making it easier to export with a slurping argument. I've started documenting how exporting works, you can see a preview here (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/libperl/wiki/Exporting">http://code.google.com/p/libperl/wiki/Exporting</a>). I've also completely reorganized my files to make everything more organized and I'm splitting out libtap++ because it might be useful for other projects. </i><br /></blockquote><ul><li><span class="nlw_phrase"><a title="inter-workspace link: perlfoundation" href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/vadim_konovalov_tcl_tk_access_for_rakudo">Vadim Konovalov - Tcl/Tk access for Rakudo</a></span></li></ul><blockquote>No recent news from Grant Manager.<br /></blockquote><ul><li><span class="nlw_phrase"><a title="inter-workspace link: perlfoundation" href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/andrew_shitov_barcode_support_in_act">Andrew Shitov - Barcode support in Act</a></span></li></ul><blockquote>No recent news from Grant Manager.</blockquote><ul><li><span class="nlw_phrase"><a title="inter-workspace link: perlfoundation" href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/vadim_konovalov_perl_cross_compilation_for_linux_and_wince">Vadim Konovalov - Perl cross-compilation for linux and wince</a></span></li></ul><blockquote>No recent news from Grant Manager.<i></i></blockquote><ul><li><span class="nlw_phrase"><a title="inter-workspace link: perlfoundation" href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/ingy_dot_net_port_pyyaml_to_perl">Ingy dot Net - Port PyYAML to Perl</a></span></li></ul><blockquote>Ingy updates: <i>I'm plugging away and things are looking good so far. I just wanted to make sure that I am setting myself up for success. My original grant deliverables were:<br /> - Port all the classes of PyYAML to Perl<br /> - Port all of the PyYAML tests and make them pass<br /> - Write full documentation for all the classes and the API<br /> - Release this module as YAML.pm, replacing the legacy code<br /><br />My current goals for the end of the year are items 1 and 2 in full and 3 in<br />part. I don't plan to do the 4th goal by year's end because I think it's too<br />soon. I want to see YAML::Perl stabilize and get plenty of feedback before<br />making replacing the current YAML.pm. <br /><br />My goals for the weekend are to get all the pyyaml tests running (and<br />failing) and to port the Dumper side of things. I'll give more details next<br />week. </i><br /></blockquote><ul><li><span class="nlw_phrase"><a title="inter-workspace link: perlfoundation" href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/test_builder_2">Michael Schwern - Test::Builder 2</a></span></li></ul><blockquote>No updates from Grant Manager.<br /></blockquote><ul><li><span class="nlw_phrase"><a title="inter-workspace link: perlfoundation" href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/fixing_bugs_in_the_archive_zip_perl_module">Alan Alavi - Fixing Bugs in the Archive::Zip Perl Module</a></span></li></ul><blockquote>No recent updates from grant manager.
