Today we needed to install Math::Pari on an Opteron (x86_64) based Debian box at the office. I’m documenting here the trials and tribulations we had to go through to get it to work:
Downloaded latest Math::Pari tarball from CPAN
Downloaded pari version 2.1.7 tarball
Untar Math::Pari
cd into Math::Pari and run “perl Makefile.PL pari_tgz=/path/to/pari-2.1.7.tgz”
Ignore all the stupid messages
run [...]
I just updated the site for my perl charting library, Chart::Clicker, with lots of new examples. All the old ones had been added over time and things needed a consistency overhaul. Enjoy!
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’ve been doing a lot of reading for the last 6 months. It all started when I switched jobs last year. I was working with a lot of smart guys who knew (and still know) significantly more than I do about practically everything with regards to programming languages.

I just returned from the Orlando Perl Workshop. The conference was on the smallish side but I enjoyed the day of talks. My two went well and I got to spend some time with friends that I’d either never physically met or that I hadn’t seen in quite a while.
The highlight of the [...]

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 [...]
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.
I updated the examples on the Clicker page. Cross posting in case anyone is interested.
I’ve been hacking on a few projects lately that I finally got wrapped up enough that I could up them to the CPAN. I’ll cover each one.
Motivation
Before I cover the modules, I’d like to explain why I made them. Some of this functionality existed in modules on the CPAN, but it was either [...]
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 [...]
