Webmaster Forum / Perl / Modules / November 2007

I have written a module which facilitates the remote control of certain
amateur radio equipment (Icom radios). Now I am contemplatinmg publishing
them not only on my own website (TBD), but also on CPAN.
The questions I have:

How do I avoid problems with modules that depend on each other -
without getting function redefined errors etc.
e.g. I have two classes in two modules. Once called country one called
town. Both call functions in the other so both have to 'use' the other

I am trying to write a perl script to rename files from one format to
another.
example:
300006784-2007-11-27-22-40.dat to new name of 6784-071127-3.drt

I overloaded the quotes '""' in my class by using
   use overload ('""' => \&getDesc);
I was hoping it will allow me to write
   print ("Hello from object $obj.\n");

Hi, I have to delete a node from a XML document, I am using
XML::XPath, but I haven't found a function that do that. Do this
function exist in that module?, if not how can I do that?.

locations it is claiming in its' output. I was wondering if I could
have some help troubleshooting this. Output of the install is below.

I am thinking about registering a new namespace for an application I am
writing.  The instrucations on PAUSE say to discuss on 'modules' but the
mailing lists indicate that this is a closed list.
Since Module-Authors seemed to be begging for traffic, I subscribed

I'm writing a module that I dubbed "Text::Locale" for now. I am
thinking about publishing it on CPAN.
It roughly goes something like this:

A reason to use lambda!  Actually, the reason I though of lambda in the
first place.
Some of you might remember discussing this some time ago when I was
hoping to call it list.pm.  Due to the tragedy of the namespace, that

I wrote a streaming CSV parser yesterday because I couldn't find a CSV
parsing module that does what I want (despite the plethora of available
choices).  The parsing rules are pretty simple:
1)  At the start of a field, if you find a quote string, eat the quote

I'm getting some strange problems with a couple of simple Class::Std
modules I'm working on.  Either module works fine by itself, but when I
reference one from the other I get warnings and errors at compile time.  My
test script doesn't do anything except use one of the modules:

I'm writing a Perl wrapper around Linux's ppoll() system call. The
requirements here are

I notice that since Nick Img-Simmons' sad passing Tk seems  
unmaintained. It certainly doesn't build on 5.10. I wonder if anyone  
knows the status of it and whether anyone is considering maintaining it?
I think that it's important to Nick's memory that his code is not  

I've run into a bug in XML::XSLT. If you give it an .xsl file by an
