Dancer team at the Plat Forms contest
by Gabor Szabo 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Hi, I read that there are some plans to submit an application for a Dancer team to the Plat Forms contest that will take place in January in Nürnberg, Germany http://www.plat-forms.org/ In the new Perl Ecosystem Group http://perl-ecosystem.org/ we would like to help the teams by providing some modest financial help to cover the traveling and accomodation expenses of the participants. In order to be able to provide that and maybe to go and ask companies to provide further help I'll need to know if the team is ready and what is the financial needs of the individuals that need to be covered. So please update the wiki page at https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/index.cgi?events_2011_plat_forms with information regarding the team. If you are committed or not or if you are committed on condition that you can get X EUR to cover your expenses. Please do it ASAP as the application dead-line is 2010-11-30 and if I understand there need to be at least 3 Perl groups in order for the language to be accepted in the contest. regards Gabor -- Gabor Szabo http://szabgab.com/ Perl Ecosystem Group http://perl-ecosystem.org/

Advent Calendar: Request for writers!
by sukria 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

Hi there, As you may know, we plan to publish an advent calendar in order to promote Dancer. The idea is to publish one article per day form the first of december to the 25th. We have set up a repository on GitHub dedicated to host the collaborative work around that. Any help is welcome and very much appreciated. Currently we have 23 articles ideas, 7 of them are "assigned" (someone volunteered to write the article, but did not started yet), 3 of them are "pending" (the article is almost finished but need a review). We have one moth left and lots remain to be done if we want to be able to publish our advent calendar. I invite you, as a Dancer user/developer to fork the project: http://github.com/PerlDancer/advent-calendar-2010 and start helping us. You can also request on the list a write-access to that repo, we'll add you to the team and you'll be able to push your changes directly here. You can either review one of the article in the pending directory (typos are there, you can be sure ;) or start picking an article idea in the README file, setting the flag to "A" for telling other writers not to pick this one. FYI you can build pretty HTML renderings of the article with the following command: $ perl build/tools/build_html.pl pending You'll find the HTML files in build/html/ With your help we can do it, but if we're too few, this might be difficult. Thanks a lot! -- Alexis Sukrieh

Franck, yes all my versions are the latest: Dancer 1.1901 Starman 0.2007 Plack 0.9951 Deepak, yes it looks like CSS served as text/plain - header info: Content-Type: text/plain Transfer-Encoding: chunked Date: Mon, 01 Nov 2010 14:23:23 GMT Connection: keep-alive 200 OKMaybe this is the issue?

Are you using the last version from CPAN ?

Occasionally it works correctly. If I browse directly to the css file (/css/style.css), it seems to be served ok. If I use Plack without Starman it all works fine. Any ideas whats happening?

Re: [Dancer-users] Allow alternate path in Dancer::Logger::File? (Flavio Poletti)

I agree that log path should be configurable, I think the configuration option should be uniform, e.g. session_dir, log_dir, etc. Actually I think all paths should be configurable. Suppose I have two seperate application I want to share the same config.yml or environment file, ... --Al Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: dancer-users-request(a)perldancer.org Sender: dancer-users-bounces(a)perldancer.org Date: Thu, 28 Oct 2010 12:00:01 To: <dancer-users(a)perldancer.org> Reply-To: dancer-users(a)perldancer.org Subject: Dancer-users Digest, Vol 8, Issue 23 Send Dancer-users mailing list submissions to dancer-users(a)perldancer.org To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.backup-manager.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/dancer-users or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to dancer-users-request(a)perldancer.org You can reach the person managing the list at dancer-users-owner(a)perldancer.org When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Dancer-users digest..."

See the [announcement overview] (http://plat-forms.org/platforms-announcement#overview) for why this contest is very important for the community as a whole. Perl's esteem is at stake. ? Up to 4 teams comprised of 3 members each are needed to represent our favourite programming language. Like in the preceding contest in 2007, the Perl teams are likely self-organised and not company- backed. To facilitate that, I have set up [a page on the official Perl 5 wiki] (https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/index.cgi?events_2011_plat_forms) Action required: 1. Communicate as you see fit and form more teams. 2. Post summaries to the wiki page to keep everyone updated. 3. Fill in the [application form](http://plat- forms.org/sites/default/files/Plat_Forms-applicationform.pdf) and snail-mail it to the organisers. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I'm fine either way, but I thought this might be useful to others in the future. Thanks. Mike. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Personally, I would rewrite your sub as follows: sub logdir { my $altpath = setting('log_path'); return $altpath if $altpath; my $appdir = setting('appdir'); my $logroot = $appdir || File::Spec->tmpdir(); return path($logroot, 'logs'); } I see no reason to possibly create a temporary directory if you don't really need to.
