Re: Requesting review of new distribution information

The README seems good to me. It all makes sense despite me not having used GitHub and not understanding some of the terms. But, I feel confident from the README that I would be able to do what I was trying to do.

From a language point of view, this sentence is a bit weird and I'd split it into two:

The distmgr command line application that's installed along with the Dist::Mgr Perl distribution provides the facility to manage Perl distributions that you're the author of.

"The distmgr command line application that's installed along with the Dist::Mgr Perl distribution. It provides the facility to manage Perl distributions that you've authored."

Thank you for the feedback! Regarding Git, get familiar with it. A VCS, ie a Version Control System is by far, hands down, bar none the best tool that any developer has at their disposal. So is the automated Continuous Integration testing and test coverage that can be integrated into them. Seriously.	[reply]

Regarding Git, get familiar with it. Yes I know I need to... Only today I jumped in on a bit of a CB discussion about GitLab and went asking the Great God Google for information about comparisons between GitLab and GitHub. I intend to share the code for the Raspberry Pi Curtain Controller so that other people might be inspired and perhaps helped when they try something similar. A Git seems the ideal way to do this.

For Perl code, there's no better place than the CPAN. Check out all of my Raspberry Pi related distributions here. All are prefixed with `RPi-`.	[reply] [d/l]

Hello Bod, if you are totally unware of git you can profit of my step-by-step-tutorial-on-perl-module-creation-with-tests-and-git L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l]

if you are totally unware of git... I wouldn't say totally unaware... A little over 20 years ago I did a contract at IBM mainly with Oracle 8. I ended up doing quite a bit of coding. This was the only time I have ever been paid directly to write code...Perl of course... We used a CVS so I am familiar with the principle but I cannot remember anything especially useful about it. Thanks for the link - I shall work through that tutorial this week before I start properly back to work next week after the festive break.	[reply]
