I got this weird mail in RT queue for Games::Bingo. First I thought it was spam, but then I read it and it struck me. Could somebody be reading these mails using RT as a proxy? You locate some newsletter you want to receive, you provide it with the email address of a RT queue, [...]

I just discovered Test::NoPlan (http://search.cpan.org/~duncs/Test-NoPlan-v0.0.4/lib/Test/NoPlan.pm) It goes over you test suite to see if you have any no plan statements – very nice and useful. So I have added the following test (file: t/test_plans.t) to my growing arsenal of distribution tests:

I have just recently released Workflow release 1.33. I wanted to refer to a blog entry on the developer releases/branching strategy I have been using for the Worflow project, but I could not dig it up – then I found it in my blog backlog, dated 20.09.2009 So here goes, The releases 1.33_4 and 1.33_5, [...]

During the weekend I finally found time to release Workflow 1.33. I have not mentioned the last developer releases in this blog, but since the release of 1.33_4 and 1.33_5, I made 3 more developer releases before the final release of Workflow 1.33 I was cleaning up in the Changes file and I found out [...]

I am in the process of migrating some configuration data out of a module and into a configuration file. I have been using AppConfig, but it’s goal seems to be something a bit different from what I want. I have a deep data structure and I just want to be able to deserialize this from [...]

The developer releases on CPAN, releases using the following format:         <major>.<minor>_<developer release> These release are preliminary releases before a stable release. Lots of [...]

I have just release first version of a HTTP interaction helper class for the Danish company DanDomain’s web shop system administrative interface. The module focuses primarily on their partner programs, which is exports of data in text formats. I have done a lot of work on their admin tool exports, changing format of these, applying [...]

This is a bug fix pre-release, it seems we might have accidently broken an API between version 0.31 and 1.32. So this should address the issue and ensuring backwards compatibility. We aim for stability, so this is regarded as a bug and we should ensure backwards compatibility. The release should be on CPAN now. It [...]

Release 1.32 of Workflow has finally made it’s way to CPAN after 8 beta/dev releases. I revisited the Changes file and boiled all the betas down to the following: – Bumped up version for Workflow::State to 1.14 considering patches from action_group and test_condition patches from Ivan Paponov implementing support for a group tag on actions [...]

This will hopefully be the last beta/dev release prior to the release of 1.32. I added Perl::Critic tests and have in general begun a major cleanup of the code from a Perl::Critic perspective starting with picking the low hanging fruit. So there are plenty of room for improvements, more tests and better test coverage and [...]
