Re^2: My First LinkedIn Article On Perl

Hi,

Thanks for the comment. Of course, the article is not meant for someone at your level of skill. It is meant for those who are at my skill level and on a lookout for a good language to automate stuff. I will post the article here anyways.

However, if I may add, it is folks like you who really need to write such articles more than someone like me. With your vast and deep knowledge you could do far more than I can with such articles, however, as you've mentioned, you are off the social media which I understand and respect. Thank you once again and wish you a very happy new year.

I've been writing articles about Perl for almost two decades. My interest in trying to convince anyone to use X or Y is long gone. I use Perl because it is very, very useful and enjoyable to me, and I don't personally care at all what anyone else uses, nor do I care if people are out there bashing Perl (justifiably or not). I find much more enjoyment in providing assistance and guidance for those who already have interest in Perl, and are trying to further their learning, not in trying to persuade people into using it. I also very much enjoy continuing my learning of the language, because I still very frequently do learn new things (in fact, I'm pretty sure I have at least one question in SoPW that's still active). Note that I am fluent in four languages, and can get by very well in several more than that. Perl is the only language where I have any interest in its communities. If that's not enough of an endorsement, oh well. With all of that perceivably negative verbiage stated, I do commend you on bearing the new generation's Perl torch, enlightening those who would otherwise be uninformed about the benefits of Perl. Cheers, -stevieb	[reply]

MANIFEST.SKIP prevents file being added, but tests fail is one I wrote yesterday. For many, many years, I wanted a system that could create the skeleton of a distribution, while also including things such as repo and bugtrack info, CI/coverage badges, ignore and skip files while also allowing the automation of VCS operations, CI testing, release building, release upload, and next dev cycle things such as bumping versions and changes file etc. I am less than 48 hours to having that as a completed and reliable reality. One command line command with only a couple of options and I won't have to maintain manually any of my Perl software again. The problem I had and its subsequent question was directly related to that project.	[reply]
