Anyone else noticed on Windows that when you run a compiled perl
script (compiled using pp) it causes TWO copies of the executable to
run? I'm running perl5.8.8 and previously perl5.8.6. A compile of the
same script in 5.8.6 only runs one copy. I want to revert to only one
copy, ....2 copies looks ugly and can be confusing as to whats going
on (through Windows task manager), especially if you are running
multiple instances of the same executable. Ta

If you use Sysinternals' procexp.exe instead of Task Manager, you will
see that one is the child of the other: the parent is the instance you
started, and the child is a new copy that has been created in the par-
xxxx temp directory and is the one actually doing all the work. I don't
really know why this is necessary, but it's probably part of getting
Windows' dll loader to do the right thing.

Perhaps this needs to be amended based on the following:
< http://tinyurl.com/6joyuz > <1>
Linux Magazine, Friday, October 15th, 1999, by Larry Wall:
" Anyway, I did some sneaky things to make sure Perl developed a healthy
" culture. While we took ourselves very seriously in some ways, we also
" tried to laugh at ourselves occasionally. Perl not only stands for the
" Practical Extraction and Report Language, but it also stands for the
" Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister.
This is from Larry's own words, and as such, it is perfect reasonable to
describe "perl" or "Perl" as "Practical Extraction and Report Language",
which, when compressed, becomes "PERL". I therefore put forth that this
FAQ is incorrect in saying "never write 'PERL'", as it is contradicted
by the words of Larry Wall him self, "Perl not only stands for the
Practical Extraction and Report Language, Pathologically Eclectic
Rubbish Lister", and "PERL" therefore a synonym for either of those two
expansions. Whether or not it's a "true acronym" or a "backronym", is
beside the point.

Sure. Though it does help to already have a couple of languages in

I like being a freelance developer; it does pay a bit more than a
"steady" job, and as you say, it's definitely a good way to get
interesting jobs - if only because you can refuse uninteresting /
frustrating jobs and clients.

Hah. Yeah. I made the decision to not take on any more java jobs a few
years ago, partly because of the annoying recruiters and boring
assignment, and partly because I really think Perl is a much better
fit for almost all the jobs I got. But I don't want to be limited to
perl exclusively, so I do some Ruby and PHP stuff, quite a lot of
javascript and I'm messing about with Lisp and reading up on Erlang.
That's not to say I'm completely unspecialized; as you may suspect
from the languages I mentioned, I mainly do web apps based on open
source techniques. But it IME it pays to have some (or more)
experience in the whole chain from webserver to client (not just "my
area of expertise in this big product") and to step completely out of
your specialisation once in a while. I've been working on a linux
"appliance" lately. Quite different from my usual stuff, but it keeps
you fresh.

The advantage would be that a missing closing tag becomes a perl
syntax error, and is caught by the compiler.
But that doesn't get you the separation of code and content that's the
modern style for web apps.
In general, CGI.pm seems both old-fashioned and bloated. It
probably should've been "deprecated" some time ago...

That's not much of an advantage, IMNSHO - not enough to compensate for
the lack of separation you mention in your second point:
> But that doesn't get you the separation of code and content that's the
> modern style for web apps.
Indeed.
> In general, CGI.pm seems both old-fashioned and bloated. It
I think that the bloat is actually much less than many people think it
is. The HTML generation methods are autoloaded, so they literally
don't exist until you call them. So unless you're actually using them,
the memory footprint and startup time of a CGI is pretty much the same
as it would be if they weren't available.
> probably should've been "deprecated" some time ago...
While it hasn't been formally deprecated or removed from the core set
of modules, I think CGI.pm's use has been declining for quite some
time now, along with the use of external one-shot CGI apps. Nowadays,
most of the "serious" use of Perl on the web is done in a persistent
environment such as mod_perl or FastCGI.

I'm trying to bundle Lingua::BG::Numbers with Lingua::Slavic::Numbers

Administrivia:
#The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
#comp.lang.perl.misc. For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
#the single line:
#
# subscribe perl-users
#or:
# unsubscribe perl-users
#
#to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.
NOTE: due to the current flood of worm email banging on ruby, the smtp
server on ruby has been shut off until further notice.
To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.
#To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
#to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
#where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.
#For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
#perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
#sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
#answer them even if I did know the answer.
