| x86 | gah |
| x86 | DateTime::Format::Strptime is not one of the core modules |
| iank | boo hoo cpan it |
| apeiron | "i (can't|don't want to) use external modules" |
| iank | (If only we had some sort of comprehensive archive network.. for perl stuff.. complete with a convenient tool you could use to easily fetch, build, and install modules!) |
| iank | apeiron: "oh, but you're a dumbass" |
| iank | "carry on then" |
| simcop2387-lab | iank! I know I'll call it Ruby on Rails! |
| integral | well, it'd be different if CPAN and CPANPLUS really were convenient. |
| x86 | POSIX::strptime is not a core module either |
| x86 | this sucks |
| apeiron | Send patches or shut up. :) |
| iank | CPAN IS VERY FUCKING CONVENIENT DO YOU WANT ME TO PUNCH YOU IN THE SPLEEN |
| integral | apt-get : cpan :: brilliant : annoying |
| iank | this : pretentious and awkward :: 1 : 1 |
| x86 | iank: not so conveinent when you're writing software to be deployed on 100 servers and you dont want to have to install the same module 100 times |
| integral | bundle it with your app. |
| iank | x86: stop failing at sysadmining |
| iank | Or that. |
| integral | They're also pure-perl so this is very, very trivial. |
| integral | We have PARs which are jsut like Java's JARs for even more deployability win |
| iank | woohoo |
| mst | and people have this inane obsession with only using core |
| mst | I mean, anybody who does perl for a living grows out of it pretty fucking fast |
| mst | but there's always colossal whining the first time you tell someone to get something from CPAN |
| integral | But due to my last point, PAR isn't as well known as it should be |
| mst | x86: thanks for being today's example :) |
