An oddly mixed comment, as I was making an observation, not a complaint -- yet you are spot on regarding the details of the scope of the issue. However, the fact that the details of my issue comes from a particular flavor of Perl doesn't change the fact that I still find it daunting to load CPAN modules, which are -- wonderfully -- a sort of bread and butter (or backbone) of the Perl community. The single biggest reason I feel out of step with the rest of the Perl community is because I wrote nearly all the modules I needed a long time ago, and increasingly, the solutions posted in SoPW rightfully point to CPAN modules with which I have allowed myself no time to acquire notable familiarity. But that's my problem -- and this remains an observation, not a complaint. :-) > zentara
LOL! Don't need the shields around me -- I have pretty thick skin (and, as this thread has shown, sometimes a thick skull, also) and don't find religious comments problematic until the author shows a sincere failure to admit to reality. For the record, that isn't you. :-) I found your comment appropriately humorous, and appreciate the closing note, quoted above. The plasma/smiley line clearly states (to me, anyway) "If you don't have a sense of humor, this line will not help". > jellisii2
Thanks for the tip -- I have been, actually, for the very reason you state. I haven't pursued it as diligently as I could have because, well, to be honest, Perl does most of what I need and I can write it in my sleep. Recent code of mine might even be proof that I often do (ROFL). > Jenda
Likely. I'm kind of on the fence about C# -- but there's a market out for it, which isn't as true of my other strong language (C -- heck, even C++ is becoming less prevalent), so C# remains a fairly strong candidate for my second-next new language. First is Java, not only because the job market is still strong for it, but because that's the chosen and preferred language for developing Android Apps. > BillKSmith
I did, but trying to run PPM directly also yielded similar issues. As has been pointed out, some more succinctly than others, the simple issue is that I either need to finish the loading of my complete developer platform software suite, to include GNU C and NMAKE or similar toolings, or I need to shift the paradigm a bit. My working world is moving increasingly to the 64-bit platform, and yet somehow remains largely Windows-centric despite a genuine, though not strongly pursued, desire to move into the Linux space. I just keep landing jobs where they pay me to work on Windows systems, which has somehow managed to survive decades of mediocrity and poor product direction decisions. Thanks, one and all, for your comments, advice, and even the critiques. I just wish this post hadn't been put on SoPW. I was not seeking advice. But, typical of our wonderful Monastery community, help and advice was forthcoming anyway. :-)
