Hello, I am a student from Cameroon looking forward in doing the OPW internship. I am new to perl and i wish to have some directives on how to get a grip of the code base and also contribute to the perl community. Thanks Angela L.
Welcome Angela! I have a getting started guide to Dancer2 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7dO3K-krrg I plan to add some more videos eventually but hopefully that can get you started if you are starting out with perl and/or Dancer/2. There are many many resources online for using perl, the only advice I can give is to avoid using http://perldoc.perl.org/ as I find it gives the most terse, odd usage of functions in perl and never gives any basic usage. For example, the first example for the split function is this: print join(':', split('b', 'abc')), "\n"; Whereas you go here: http://perlmaven.com/perl-split And you get a good usage example of split which is simple to understand and easily readable. In saying that, a good starting point for beginning perl would be here: http://perlmaven.com/perl-tutorial perlmaven explains things properly with real-world usage so I could highly recommend it as a great starting point (and I quite often end there as well!).

Hi Ayuk, You can view my video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7dO3K-krrg You can get up and running in less than 20 minutes from that video but if you're familiar with Ubuntu, just run: sudo apt-get install libdancer2-perl sudo /usr/bin/dancer2 gen -a MyApp cd MyApp ./bin/app.pl And that's it! You can then go to the ip address (and port 3000) of the server in your browser and see the application running! David On Wed, Aug 12, 2015 at 8:07 PM, Ayuk M <fromu2valery@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello, i wish to know how to run Dancer2 from the source code
Please go over the relevant resources on http://perl-begin.org/ and http://perl-tutorial.org/ . This should help you. If you want, you can ask for help on #perl on Freenode (see http://perl-begin.org/irc/ ) - I am "rindolf" there.
