gah |
| x86 |
DateTime::Format::Strptime is not one of the core modules |
| iank |
boo hoo cpan it |
| apeiron |
"i (can't|don't want to) use external modules" |
| iank |
(If only we had some sort of comprehensive archive network.. for perl stuff.. complete with a convenient tool you could use to easily fetch, build, and install modules!) |
| iank |
apeiron: "oh, but you're a dumbass" |
| iank |
"carry on then" |

iank! i know i'll call it Ruby on Rails! |
| integral |
well, it'd be different if CPAN and CPANPLUS really were convenient. |
| x86 |
POSIX::strptime is not a core module either |
| x86 |
this sucks |
| apeiron |
Send patches or shut up. :) |
| iank |
CPAN IS VERY FUCKING CONVENIENT DO YOU WANT ME TO PUNCH YOU IN THE SPLEEN |
| integral |
apt-get : cpan :: brilliant : annoying |
| iank |
this : pretentious and awkward :: 1 : 1 |
| x86 |
iank: not so conveinent when you're writing software to be deployed on 100 servers and you dont want to have to install the same module 100 times |
| integral |
bundle it with your app. |
| iank |
x86: stop failing at sysadmining |
| iank |
Or that. |
| integral |
They're also pure-perl so this is very, very trivial. |
| integral |
We have PARs which are jsut like Java's JARs for even more deployability win |
| iank |
woohoo |
| mst |
and people have this retarded obsession with only using core |
| mst |
I mean, anybody who does perl for a living grows out of it pretty fucking fast |
| mst |
but there's always colossal whining the first time you tell someone to get something from CPAN |
| integral |
But due to my last point, PAR isn't as well known as it should be |
| mst |
x86: thanks for being today's example :) |
