I am afraid to look into the aby... at obfuscated/golf code, since I am afraid it might look ba... be contagious.

(-: Are you saying that I should relax -- it helps keyboard speed if my fingers transform into tentacles and Cthulhu worshippers can scuba dive cheaper because of breathing under water? :-)

I recently learned how neat parsing parameters is with Getopt::Long.

What I've learnt the last year or so is to write tests for all code I write. The main advantages are development speed (for larger code), that you organize your code differently so it is testable and it really helps when you rewrite code.

For my hobby project, I'm going to make an alternative implementation of a feature (big data volumes will be stored in a sql database). I can copy the tests and keep the interface! Neat.

Since that was borderline elegant, I'll also show a monk's humility by mentioning a horrible kludge I'll add to that. Objects will rebless themselves to the other implementation type when the data size gets larger/smaller! (A nicer implementation would be to have an implementation of the storage which are contained in another object -- and let that create/delete objects with data. That gets complicated for other reasons.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
