The beauty of Perl

Posted 07-27-2018 at 06:13 PM by anestis89

It's been some time from my first post. I have almost finished "Learning Perl",
2nd edition from Randal Schwartz and Tom Christiansen, and I have to say I was
amazed by this language. Now, this edition is rather old (1999) because I borrowed
it from my local library, today it's in the 7th edition, but the language didn't
change very much. It is still Perl 5.

A few words about Perl: Perl is an old language. It was created in 1987 by Larry...

Tags perl, raspberry pi, wiringpi

This is a Raspberry Pi project I did a few months ago and meant to post somewhere. There is a Perl interface to the WiringPi module. It's available from https://github.com/WiringPi/WiringPi-Perl. Unfortunately it doesn't come with any examples, but the WiringPi module comes with some nice examples. Unfortunately they are all written in C and it can take some trial and error to translate and I never found any translations of the examples online, or any WiringPi-Perl specific examples.

Fix the arrow keys in the Ubuntu Perl debugger

Posted 02-01-2010 at 12:14 PM by drask

Tags arrow, cursor, package, perl, ubuntu

This is just a quick note to myself. I spend a lot of time in the perl debugger (perl -d -e 1) and CPAN (perl -MCPAN -e shell) in Ubuntu and hate the way that when I get to the perl shell my keyboard cursor keys stop doing useful things like scrolling through my history and start producing garbage like "^[[A", "^[[B" "^[[C" and "^[[D" (up arrow, down arrow, right arrow and left arrow respectively).

Thanks to LQ for giving a free blog to all subscribers! With this additional encouragement I can use this space to talk about my Linux-related ideas, experience and comments and hopefully get community feedback.

I worked as a linux admin on and off even though it's not my primary specialization. I have five computers at home, all of which has at least one linux partition. Out of those, my closet server may be of special interest because it lives in a closet and I attached it a dryer...
