Perl 5.14.2 released

2011-09-27T15:32:00.003+03:00

Perl 5.14.2 (stable) has been released yesterday. If you would like what changed, please read the following changes for Perl 5.14.2, Perl 5.14.1 and Perl 5.14.0. To install it via perlbrew on your machine without the need for administrator access, please type:
perlbrew install perl-5.14.2

Perl rocks! :)

Perl 5.15.3 released

2011-09-22T11:36:00.004+03:00

Perl 5.15.3 (Development) was released yesterday with a brand new object-oriented Perl Tutorial. You can review what changes were made since Perl 5.15.2 here. To install it using App::perlbrew, type perlbrew install perl-5.15.3. If you want to use Padre on it, you need to add -Dusethreads at the end of that command. What's so great is the amount of work the Perl community is dedicating to developing, maintaining and improving Perl 5:

"..Perl 5.15.3 represents approximately 2 months of development since Perl 5.15.2 and contains approximately 160,000 lines of changes across 700 files from 44 authors..."

"..Perl 5.15.1 represents approximately 5 weeks of development since Perl 5.15.0 and contains approximately 220,000 lines of changes across 650 files from 37 authors..."

"..Perl 5.15.0 represents approximately five weeks of development since Perl 5.14.0 and contains approximately 54,000 lines of changes across 618 files from 57 authors..."

Thanks for your totally awesome work!
Perl rocks :)

Padre differentiates with style :)

2011-09-21T11:26:00.001+03:00

Just wanted to say that I recently added a differences popup window to Padre's editor. You can now traverse all differences in your current document (via Ctrl + comma). The dialog shows you what was added, deleted or changed at the current difference and enables you to revert the change if needed. Padre can also automatically detect and find differences against your local repository (subversion or git) or the locally saved document.

Enjoy :)

Wx::Scintilla 0.30 released

2011-09-18T20:59:00.003+03:00

Wx::Scintilla 0.30 includes now the latest Scintilla 2.29. This is a major release for Perl Scintilla-based editors since string interpolation variables can now be properly highlighted. Here is a list of stuff that was fixed for Perl in Scintilla 2.29:

Perl string styling highlights interpolated variables.
Perl lexer updated for Perl 5.14.0 with 0X and 0B numeric literal prefixes, break keyword and "+" supported in subroutine prototypes.
Perl bug fixed with CRLF line endings.

Padre realtime diff :)

2011-09-18T16:23:00.002+03:00

Revision 16300 marks a new milestone in Padre version control system (VCS) support. You can now type and Padre will automatically calculate differences and display them as plus (added), minus (deleted) and right arrow markers (changed) margin markers. You can click then on those margin markers to show what has actually been added, deleted or changed.

Perl is 9th on TIOBE Index

2011-09-14T12:37:00.003+03:00

My beloved Perl is 9th on the TIOBE Programming Community Index. I know the index's idea is flawed by design but it is always fun to know where we stand :) The most interesting thing is the "D 2.0 language" comeback but hey on CPAN we have no Inline::D? Any volunteers?

Solarized Padre

2011-09-11T10:37:00.002+03:00

Padre trunk (0.92) has now proper a light and dark Solarized color scheme graciously contributed by Anton Ukolov (sugar in #padre). Solarized Dark was actually included in 0.90 but now we have both. Thanks Anton :)

Padre Solarized Light

Padre Solarized Dark

Fancy syntax checking with Padre

2011-09-07T17:34:00.001+03:00

Padre trunk (0.92) contains now an inline annotated syntax checker that is enabled by the feature_syntax_check_annotations configuration parameter. Now you can see warnings and errors in Padre right away while typing :)

Enjoy :)

Wx::Scintilla - Latest Scintilla in a box

2011-08-17T14:49:00.004+03:00

Back in March 2011, I started a project called Wx::Scintilla in Padre's subversion repository after being encouraged to do that. The idea was to back port the latest and greatest in the awesome Scintilla source editing component for wxPerl-ers and Perl editor users. wxWidgets has a very slow release process given the number of mind-boggling platforms it supports. You cannot reasonably expect to have Scintilla latest stable in stable wxWidgets all the time. When I started the project, I was starting to plan for my future married life, my Perl XS skills were literally-noobish-perlxstut-level and I did not tackle any big C/C++ code for years while I was in Java happy and fertile land. wxWidgets 2.8.x (stable) contained Scintilla 1.70 as Wx::STC while wxWidget 2.9.x (development) had Scintilla 2.03. We needed Perl 5.10 defined-or // operator highlighting in Padre and that was in 1.76 so after getting a big OS compatibility patch from Mark Dootson, Wx::Scintilla 0.11 was released with windows, Linux and MacOS X 32-bit and 64-bit support. Later in July, I got happily married and when I was back, I started working again on backporting wxWidgets 2.9.x Wx::STC back into Wx::Scintilla. I released Wx::Scintilla 0.20 with the optional --stc2 argument release on the same day that Scintilla 2.28 got released with Scintilla 1.7x as default with the optional 2.x. Afterwards, I started releasing a number of Scintilla 2.x-only developer releases to stabilize Scintilla 2.x with properly integrate it with Padre while getting #padre community feedback. The end result is Wx::Scintilla 0.22 (stable). We now have the latest Scintilla 2.28. We even have an updated string variable interpolation Perl lexer that is going to be in Scintilla 2.28+ (Thanks to Kein-Hong Man). I also added an experimental noobish Perl 6 lexer. And Padre.next now requires Wx::Scintilla to install.

So what's next in my big TODO list? Perl World domination next? :)

Learning Perl 6 again with Carl Mäsak

2011-08-17T10:42:00.008+03:00

It is been a while since I blogged or contributed something useful on the Perl 6 battle front. Lately I got married in July and then I started again hacking in my free time on Padre and Wx::Scintilla. After searching my usually-long TODO list, I found out that I wanted to group Carl Mäsak's Perl 6 tutorial series in one easy-to-use place. These articles are really an excellent way to learn about Perl 6. Carl's writing style keeps me just wanting to learn more about Perl 6. A bazillion kudos for Carl Mäsak for writing this excellent Perl 6 tutorial series :)

Wx::Scintilla 0.11 and Padre

2011-06-17T14:32:00.004+03:00

The upcoming Padre 0.86 can utilize a newer Scintilla editor component when Wx::Scintilla is installed and the feature_wx_scintilla configuration parameter is enabled in Padre's Tools / Preferences / Advanced dialog. This practically upgrades Padre from Scintilla 1.70 (Wx::STC) to Scintilla 1.79 (Wx::Scintilla) over the same wxWidgets 2.8.10 installation. Wx::Scintilla is backport of the famous Scintilla editor component by Neil Hodgson and will act as a smart drop-in to the ancient Wx::STC. Using an older scintilla causes Padre to have corrupted Perl 5.10 // operator syntax highlighting support and delayed fixing bugs in the Perl 5 lexer. Now it is time to fix those pesky bugs and introduce more production-quality Perl 5/6 syntax highlighting in Padre. When you install Wx::Scintilla, you basically get a better editor engine without waiting for the next major upgrade of wxWidgets.

Thanks for Mark Dootson who has done a wonderful job of ensuring that Wx::Scintilla 0.11 compiles over Windows (Strawberry and ActivePerl), Linux (Fedora, CentOS and Debian/Ubuntu). More Wx::Scintilla CPAN tester reports can mean better multi-platform support. Please help us out by submitting more CPAN testers reports for Wx::Scintilla.

Ubuntu 11.04 and perlbrew

2011-05-09T14:38:00.034+03:00

I tried to install today a new perl 5.12.3 using perlbrew on a new Ubuntu 11.04 virtual machine. To my surprise, it failed with a lot of compiler errors. Luckily, I found a blog post about it by Kim Jin. The problem turned out to be that perl's configuration script was not able to properly detect the new system libraries location to compile Perl (i.e. libc.so, libm.so, ...etc).

In previous Ubuntu versions, the default system libraries were under the /usr/lib directory. In version 11.04, this location is now architecture dependent /usr/lib/{architecture-name}. So on 64-bit x86 systems, it is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and on 32-bit x86 systems, it is /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu.

So if you need to install a threaded perl on Ubuntu 11.04 32-bit via perlbrew:
perlbrew install perl-5.12.3 -Dusethreads -Dplibpth=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu

And on 64-bit systems:
perlbrew install perl-5.12.3 -Dusethreads -Dplibpth=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

~~Hopefully this will be fixed in perl 5.14~~.
Update (Steffen Müller): This has already been fixed in Perl 5.14.0 release candidate 1.
Update (Dave Rolsky): Perlbrew will automatically apply relevant patches if you install the latest Devel::PatchPerl (0.32) as part of its build process.

Padre's Second Birthday Party and Hackathon starts today

2010-07-24T07:00:00.008+03:00

Adam Kennedy (Alias) wrote in his journal:

On the weekend of the 24th-25th of July we would like to invite all Padre developers, users, friends and well-wishers to join us for Padre's Second Birthday Party and Hackathon in the Padre IRC channel at irc://irc.perl.org/#padre or via the Mibbit Web Client."

Rakudo Star is going also to be released by Thursday July 29th. What exciting times! I think it is about time for me to finish my long to do list for Padre and Perl 6 support. See you at the Padre IRC channel #padre.

Upcoming features in Padre

2010-02-10T09:55:00.019+02:00

As our busy Curtis Jewell released Strawberry Plus Padre 0.56 yesterday, Padre developers were already actively working on the next Padre version. Here are some screenshots on what is going on with the upcoming Padre development release. This is of-course NOT a final list of what is going to be released in the next release. Here is a list of the latest Changes.

Regular expression (regex) editor

The complete Regex editor dialog UI is now revamped. It supports substitution now. It tries to describe the regex that you typed via PPIx::Regexp. You can now open it from the "Edit" menu or from the right-click menu when you have selected some text. The dialog is now non-modal.

Enhanced goto dialog

Goto dialog is now more generic and supports position and line numbers. It also displays the current position or line number depending on its operation mode. The dialog is now non-modal.

Open in file browser / system editor

This is one of the things that I really missed when developing on Padre. It already had an open in file browser (or Open containing folder) feature but that was hidden in the project directory tree. You can now access that from the File / Open menu or from the right-click menu. "Open with default system editor" tries to open the current document using the system's default system editor.

Padre, Firefox and Chrome

2010-02-06T08:31:00.019+02:00

Lately there have been a discussion in #padre about integrating Padre with "Edit with Emacs" Chrome extension. We found out that we need to implement a server that services XmlHttp requests at port 9292 in Padre to be able to integrate with that extension. It was a very interesting discussion that led me to do more research on the topic. I learned that there are Firefox add-ons that can edit text field or areas, launch your favorite editor; i.e. Padre :) and then monitor files for changes and reflect those changes in the browser. So here are some popular examples of such add-ons for Firefox:

Firebug Add-on

Website: http://www.getfirebug.com

Firebug adds a simple edit-the-contents-with-your-editor feature. It turned out that you could easily configure Padre with Firebug. In fact you can configure one or more editors:

It is All Text! Add-on

Website: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125

This plugin unfortunately supports only one editor but it can actually reflect saved changes from Padre by monitoring opened files.

Future plans

In the future I plan to create a Padre plugin that services "Edit with Emacs" Chrome extension. Please let me know if there are any browser add-ons/extensions of which I may have missed.

Stable Padre 0.56 is out!

2010-02-01T13:06:00.003+02:00

Peter Lavender (the great Padre release manager) has just released Padre 0.56 to the public. Great job everyone!

To install Padre,

cpan Padre

To upgrade an existing Padre installation,

perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN->upgrade('/^Padre/')"

Padre 0.47 is out

2009-09-27T09:37:00.013+03:00

Padre 0.47 was released a couple of days ago. Special thanks goes to all of our Padre developers and translators. This release includes a very long list of stability bug-fixes and feature upgrades.

How to install it?

Download and install Padre Standalone 0.45 release to obtain the greatest and latest in Perl's CPAN world.
In your command line, run the one-liner upgrade script to upgrade to it:
perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN->upgrade('/^Padre/')"
Run "Padre" shortcut from your start menu.

What's new?

Here are some of the features that are in this release:

Improved Integration with Windows

Padre now features a native Padre executable launcher (padre.exe) that is installed by default in c:\strawberry\perl\bin. This launcher runs Padre using wperl.exe instead of perl.exe. So no more black command prompt windows while launching Padre. If still you need these screens (e.g. to debug a Padre bug), you can simply run "padre.bat". Perl's syntax checker now works every one second in the background which means faster and more predictable syntax checking behavior.

Better handling of line endings

Padre can now detect the document's line endings (i.e. newlines or end of lines). So mixed line endings are detected and displayed in the status bar as "Mixed". In addition to that, the auto-conversion of line endings is now officially removed.

Improved About box

While strictly not a feature on its own, we really like our new About box :) The info tab provides configuration information along with Padre's uptime and process size in Megabytes.

The New Padre Perl Six Updater

2009-09-19T09:08:00.009+03:00

If you would like to try Rakudo Perl 6 "Seattle" Release #21, or switch between Rakudo Perl 6 releases and you are using Padre on Windows, then please try the following. I uploaded yesterday version 0.60 of Padre::Plugin::Perl6 to CPAN which has this lovely Rakudo Perl 6 updater tool.

How to install it?

Install Padre Standalone 0.45 MSI Installer. This step is optional if you already have Padre Almost Six 0.41 installed.
Upgrade to the latest Padre via this one-liner:
perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN->upgrade('/^Padre/')"
Make sure you have Perl 6 support plugin installed. You should have at least version 0.60 to use Six Updater.
cpan Padre::Plugin::Perl6
Run Padre's shortcut from the Start menu or type "padre" into the "Run Program" dialog.
Please make sure that Perl 6 plugin is enabled in Padre's plugin manager (i.e. if you do not see a Perl 6 sub menu under Plugins menu).
Click on "Update Six" like this:

Click on "Install Six" button and please wait until it is installed. The installation happens in the background and visual feedback in shown in the output panel.
Once installed, create a new Perl 6 script (File -> New -> Perl 6 Script) and run it (F5) using your newly installed Rakudo in c:\strawberry\six.

It is currently limited to the last two binary releases; namely Seattle #21 (September 2009) and PDX #20 (August 2009). I will keeping updating it in the future for upcoming monthly Rakudo Perl 6 releases. Any feedback is appreciated :)

What's new in Padre 0.46

2009-09-16T05:12:00.007+03:00

Padre 0.46 was released a couple of days ago by our new and cool Padre release maintainer Ryan Niebur. First of all, thanks for all the great effort that Padre developers and translators put into this release. This release includes a lot of stability bug-fixes and feature upgrades. It also coincides with Curtis Jewell's Padre standalone 0.45 win32 release which has a more recent version of Strawberry Perl.

How to install it?

Remove any previous Strawberry or Almost Six installation. Please Make sure that c:\strawberry is not there after Removal.
Download and install Padre Standalone 0.45 release to obtain the latest in Perl's CPAN world.
In your command line, run the one-liner upgrade script to upgrade to Padre 0.46:
perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN->upgrade('/^Padre/')"
Run "Padre" shortcut from your start menu.

What's new?

Here are some of the features that are in this release:

Smart highlighting

Simply double click on a word to show all of its occurrences in the current document.

A better help search dialog (Shortcut: F2)

Press F2 on any thing in your script and help search will try to find its documentation. In some case where the cursor is above a special character, you may need to select it first and then press F2. The following is currently included in the help index:

Perl core language reference (e.g. perlintro)
Perl pragmas (e.g. strict, warnings)
Perl core modules (e.g. File::Spec)
Perl variables (e.g. @_, $_)
Perl functions (e.g. print, open)
Perl operators reference (e.g. X and Y, !X). This is taken from cowens's perlopref.pod github project.

Detection of common beginner errors

Padre can now detect common beginner errors when in beginner mode which can be turned on in Edit -> Preferences. Simply run a Perl script using "Run -> Run Script (F5)" or "Perl -> Common (beginner) errors" and it will catch most of the errors detailed in the PerlMonks "Little annoying mistakes" post.

Extract subroutine

Yes! Padre has an exciting extract subroutine refactoring tool which is based on Devel::Refactor. This is totally experimentally and will likely improve quite a bit in future releases. It is accessible from the Perl menu.

Upgrading to Rakudo Perl 6 PDX

2009-09-08T13:14:00.010+03:00

If you would like to try Rakudo's Perl 6 #20 "PDX" release using Padre over windows, please follow these instructions:

Install Padre's Almost Six 0.41 MSI Installer.
Upgrade to the latest Padre via this one-liner:
perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN->upgrade('/^Padre/')"
Extract the following zip file into c:\strawberry
Run Padre!

Or you can wait for the next release Padre's Almost Six which is coming soon :)

A one-liner to upgrade Padre's "Almost Six"

2009-08-25T17:03:00.014+03:00

First of all Padre 0.44 is out (garu++). In an effort to make upgrading Padre's "Almost Six" to the latest Padre easier for windows users, I thought of this one liner:

perl -MCPAN -e "CPAN->upgrade('/^Padre/')"

Upgrading takes like 5-7 minutes on my new laptop. This will keep you happy until we release the next version of "Almost Six" later this week :) Thanks for Ruslan U. Zakirov for the idea. Padre's "Almost Six" enables you to program Perl 5 and 6 applications on windows. It contains Strawberry Perl, Padre, Rakudo Perl 6 and Padre's Perl 6 plugin in one easy-to-install MSI installer.

Upgrading Padre "Almost Six"

2009-08-24T06:40:00.014+03:00

I would like to share my experience in upgrading Padre "Almost Six" version 0.41 to 0.43 via cpan (Thanks to Audrey Tang for the idea). If you do not have Padre Six distribution, please download and install it from:

http://strawberryperl.com/download/padre/almost-six-0.41.msi

Please note that Padre "Almost Six" MSI package installs Perl to c:\strawberry and Rakudo to c:\strawberry\six. After installing, you'll have Padre 0.41 and Rakudo Perl 6 release #19 "Chicago" and Perl6 plugin 0.55. To start upgrading Padre, please type:

cpan Padre

You will see cpan complaining about dependencies like this. No worries. It will upgrade them automatically.

Warning: prerequisite File::Next 1.06 not found. We have 1.02.

Warning: prerequisite PPI 1.205 not found. We have 1.203.

Warning: prerequisite PPIx::EditorTools 0.08 not found. We have 0.07.

Now Padre 0.43 is ready to go. To launch Padre, type 'padre' on the command line or simply click on the shortcut in the start menu "Padre Standalone Plus Six/Padre". If you going to try Perl 6, I suggest upgrading Perl 6 plugin to 0.57 after closing Padre via the following command:

cpan Padre::Plugin::Perl6

Again, cpan will greet you with the following errors/warnings which is perfectly normal... no worries there and it will install them correctly.

- ERROR: App::Grok (0.17) is installed, but we need version >= 0.19

- ERROR: Syntax::Highlight::Perl6 (0.65) is installed, but we need version >= 0.71

- ERROR: Padre (0.43) is installed, but we need version >= 0.44

Voilà, you have you upgraded Padre to 0.43. Padre 0.44 is scheduled to be released this week by Breno G. de Oliveira and soon afterwards a new Padre/Rakudo Perl 6 distribution from Curtis Jewell will follow.

Padre's Perl 6 version 0.54

2009-07-24T07:56:00.006+03:00

Padre Perl 6 plugin (0.54) is now on CPAN. This release breaks compatibility with older Padre versions so you need to upgrade to Padre 0.41. A lot of refactoring was done by Gabor Szabo to re-use Padre's new mime-type to highlighter list support.

A plugin now can contribute one or more highlighters to a mime-type. So for example, Parrot plugin contributes a Perl 6 highlighter to Padre which is based on PGE (Parrot Grammar Engine) highlighter. This used to be a part of Perl 6 plugin.

To install Padre Perl 6 support, cpan Padre::Plugin::Perl6. For Padre or Perl 6 help, please visit #padre on irc.perl.org or #perl6 on irc.freenode.net.

Padre Perl 6 lucky grok release

2009-07-16T13:15:00.007+03:00

I have just uploaded another Padre Perl 6 plugin (0.51) to CPAN. This release uses lucky grok 0.13 to get the Perl 6 Table index support. So no more hacks to support that. Exact search matches are now listed first. Thanks to Hinrik Örn Sigurðsson for adding it to grok.

To install Padre Perl 6 support, please type the following command:

cpan Padre::Plugin::Perl6

For Padre help/questions, please visit #padre on irc.perl.org.

For Perl 6 help/questions, please visit #perl6 on irc.freenode.net.

Padre Perl 6 Help and Tablets

2009-07-10T07:14:00.010+03:00

I have uploaded a new version of Padre Perl 6 plugin. This version includes better help support by telling grok to use POD that was generated from Perl 6 table wiki index using this small script. This allows us to provide better user-friendly help for Perl 6 operators, built-ins and keywords.

To install Padre Perl 6 support, please type the following command:

cpan Padre::Plugin::Perl6

For Padre help/questions, please visit #padre on irc.perl.org.

For Perl 6 help/questions, please visit #perl6 on irc.freenode.net.

What's new with Padre Perl 6?

2009-07-06T22:15:00.013+03:00

Padre Perl 6 Help Viewer (Powered by grok)

I recently became aware of Hinrik Örn Sigurðsson's grok GSoC project. grok is going to be the Perl 6 documentation reader (like Perl 5's perldoc). I asked Hinrik for a "grok --index" to list topics that grok knows about and when he graciously implemented it, I added some UI for it that I hope you will like.

More Quick Fixes: Convert POD6 to HTML or Text

A 'lovely' Camelia about box

I know this does not count but I really like it :)

To install Perl 6 plugin along with Padre, please type the following command:

cpan Padre::Plugin::Perl6

Padre's Perl 6 Quick Fixes in Action

2009-06-22T23:47:00.010+03:00

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a couple of animated gifs that demonstrate Padre's Perl 6 and Ecliptic plugins in action.

"Undeclared variable" Quick Fix

"Undeclared routine" Quick Fix

Padre's Perl 6 support and Ecliptic

2009-06-21T19:25:00.015+03:00

I recently felt the urge to improve Padre's Perl 6 support since I am supposedly the lazy co-maintainer of Padre::Plugin::Perl6 along with my fellow Perl Programmer Gabor Szabo. For programmers who do not know what Padre is, here is a quick summary:

"Padre is a Perl IDE that is simple to use for new Perl programmers but also supports large multi-lingual and multi-technology projects... Padre is written in Perl, runs on all three major desktop platforms (Windows, Mac OS X and Unix/GTK), and is distributed under the perl license."

So what's new?

Starting with version 0.44, Padre Perl 6 plugin has the following improved menu which allows the user to create Perl 6 code easily. At the moment, no wizards are implemented but that will be in a future release.

Generate code and export-to-HTML commands are now in the export menu. You can generate a Perl 6 executable or its Parrot Intermediate Representation (PIR) assembly code if you have rakudo installed on your machine.

You can now choose which syntax highlighting engine to use: my precious Syntax::Highlight::Perl6 which is based on Larry Wall's STD.pm. or Rakudo's Parrot Grammar Engine (PGE). Currently everything is implemented using the S:H:P6 STD highlighter since it parses all of the Perl 6 test suite and has more advanced error reporting. PGE syntax highlighter is experimental and is used only for coloring.

Perl 6 Quick Fixes & Ecliptic Support

I use Eclipse IDE a lot in my full-time Java job. I spend my remaining free time learning and writing Perl 5 and Perl 6 with Rakudo Perl 6 (which is a promising Perl 6 implementation). I finally decided in late May 2009 to port the most useful Eclipse features to Padre::Plugin::Ecliptic. One of these features is the Quick Fix (In Eclipse: CTRL-1). This helps the programmer in fixing some common errors and/or warnings very quickly. You'll be addicted to it, once you start using it :)

Sometimes you forget to declare a variable. In Perl 6, you always need to define variables (like a implicit Perl 5 "use strict;"). So when you get such an error, click on it and then press CTRL-~. You'll a get this small yellow box which gives you a couple of quick fixes which you can select by pressing ENTER. For example, if you have selected "Insert declaration for $line", Ecliptic will fix the error by inserting a 'my $line;' above the error.

There are a lot of currently implemented Perl 6 quick fixes such as:

Undeclared variables/routines.
Use of flow control keywords as subroutines like if(), unless(), ..etc
Use of . instead of ~ for string concatenation.
Use of -> instead of . for method call.
Use of C++ constructor syntax (in Perl 6 'new Foo' should be written as 'Foo.new').

I did not cover everything in this post but i will try to tell you more about it in the future. Any comments and/or suggestions are welcome. You can find me in #padre in irc.perl.org under the nickname azawawi.
