One of the more entertaining part of working in e-commerce is dealing with PCI compliance. I say interesting because the standard is a mix of good things and inane things. Regardless, it’s required. One of the sections deals with authentication and authorization. We’ve traditionally done that sort of business internally, but [...]
I work for magazines.com and we are looking to add to our team!
We’re a Perl shop, located in Franklin, Tennessee. We sell magazine subscriptions online. This year we’ve got a lot to do and I’m looking to add some developers to our ranks. I’m not sure how many yet, but I can [...]
I recently rejoined my team at magazines.com and have been pretty busy getting back into the groove there. It’s a busy place in Q4, so side stuff has taken a back seat. Well, that’s mostly WoW’s fault.
While I’m at it, if you are a LAMP System Administrator in Nashville (or nearby) and are [...]
It’s been on the CPAN for a few weeks, but I’ve not taken the time to pontificate about what exactly Graphics::Primitive and its cadre of helpers are.
Yesterday I released Osgood::Client and today, after realizing I had botched the upload, Osgood::Server. Unfortunately the documentation is a little thin, so I’ll take this opportunity to both inform the world and the module of it’s purpose.
Osgood is a passive, persistent, stateless event repository. The current docs say queue rather than repository but [...]
At some point in the not too distant future, the intarweb’s magazine consumers will be perusing a new magazines.com. I’ve got the responsibility of building it. One of the requirements is to allow our Merchandising and Marketing folk to get their jobs done without too much fuss. The system they use will [...]
UPDATE: The demo and trac links are down atm, as Ayalike is being moved to new hosting.
I’ve been hacking away for the last week or so on a content management system (henceforth CMS). We are going to need a CMS for some future $work projects and I’m generally unhappy with all that I’ve reviewed. [...]
I just uploaded the 1.0.0 release of DBIx::Class::QueryLog to the CPAN.
The 1.0.0 label is mostly just a not to it’s maturity. I’ve been using QueryLog extensively at $job — most recently to tune a multi-million order conversion script — and a 1.0 is in order.
The only new feature is a refactoring of the ‘analysis’ [...]
UPDATE: Jon Schutz recently posted an update to this idea. Please use his!
When handing a request Catalyst politely outputs each action executed (in order) along with it’s timings, like so:
2007/05/17 13:52:18 INFO [Catalyst : 1506] Request took 0.429198s (2.330/s)

Months ago I implemented DBIx::Class::Storage::Statistics with the intent of making some sort of profiling tool. I finally got off my ass and did it. DBIx::Class::QueryLog should be on CPAN this weekend.
At $work we are replacing a legacy system with one based on Catalyst. One of the deliverables for this year is a [...]
