Liz Henry: A reg exp is a thing of beauty but it is not a joy forever.
Rafe’s looking at weblog management systems.
He started with WordPress, and was asked to try out Moveable Type too. Now he’s set up Moveable Type, WordPress, S9Y, and Textpattern.
I’m interested in his opinion because I’m weighing moving this weblog to one of those systems, or moving everything to Live Journal where I have a permanent account.

I’m a little bothered by all the sniping between the various scripting language camps: Lisp bashes Python, Perl bashes PHP, everyone bashes Java.
But anyone can walk up, hand $10 to a hosting company, and start serving PHP + MySQL applications. If you want to run Perl, Python, Ruby or anything else, you need to use [...]
My girlfriend the chemist thought Mark Lentczner’s periodic table of Perl 6 Operators was a hoot.

I think you need at least two servers to run Moveable Type in a shared environment. Note: this is idle Sunday afternoon speculation.
Why: because the more posts you have, the more work there is to update all the static files in reaction to a change (new post, edit post, trackback, comment.) More weblogs on the [...]

[ via Need To Know ] I was impressed with the rationale for a Lisp to Perl compiler:
Also, because I could and because it was fun. I have used it succesfully for a fairly large project at work involving translating XML from one form to another.
Um, he does know there’s already a perfectly fine functional [...]

Simon Cozens, a programmer, preacher, and translator, took Sei Shonagon’s Pillow Book, documenting 10th Century CE life in the Japanese Court, and translated it as if it were written in the style of a young woman’s Live Journal:
[ From things that piss Shonagon off ] When someone gets ill and you call the exorcist - [...]

More on mail to RSS: Justin Mason wrote a perl script to scrape a MailMan archive page and get RSS out the other side.

From the Cocoon Wiki, a list of open source and proprietary projects similar to Apache Cocoon.
From that list, mod_murka looks neat. It looks for a cached HTML version of the request URI, and if it’s not found, looks for the .xml file, transforms it using whatever stylesheet’s mentioned in the file’s processing instruction, and caches [...]
Simon Woodside’s Alexandra demonstrates getting data from an XML document into a HTML form, and updating the original document. It’s built to run on AxKit, but ought to be adaptable to run under Cocoon.
He’s using Relax NG as the schema language because a Relax document is an XML document, and Relax, unlike XML Schema (XSD), [...]

From the 2002 Perl Advent Calendar: WWW::Mechanize. It’s a module that builds on LWP and provides a browser-like interface. No Buffy examples this time, the author digs into the Internet Movie Database and Grosse Point Blank instead.

Wee! Buffy and software development in one compact bit of linky goodness. As part of the 2002 Perl Advent Calendar, the London Perl Mongers explain the Params::Validate module using the Slayer as an example.

[ via Danny O'Brian's Oblomovka ] One great thing about Perl is the community. The people using the language want to help. That’s good because Perl can be frustrating in it’s ‘more than one way to do it’-ness. For the past three years, the Perl Advent Calendar has been walking people through the use of [...]
