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 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.

I work for magazines.com and we are looking to add to our team!

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 [...]
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 [...]
