Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.
ns as well as their
rs, in a country one tenth the size the size of Québec . I remember seeing an interview with John Irving a bunch of years ago where he commented that Canada's small population allowed it the luxury of a discourse among it's citizenry not affored to larger countries (he was speaking about the States, specifically.) I've never wanted to believe that he was correct but it's also always stayed with me.
xmlgrep does a grep on XML files. Instead of using regular expressions it uses XPath expressions ... The results can be the names of the files or XML elements containing matching elements.
I'm not releasing the source, though, until I talk with Tim O'Reilly and Apple and figure out whether I'll be getting my arse sued off ...
Symbol::Table allows the user to manipulate Perl's symbol table while hiding all those nasty eval's and *typeglobs from the user. Symbol::Table gives the user an object oriented interface to perl's actual symbol table. The constructor returns a reference to a tied hash as a Symbol::Table object. The object acts like a reference to a hash: the keys are the name of the symbols in the symbol table, and the values are references to the symbol itself. The tied bit of magic allows changes in the actual symbol table to be reflected as changes in the tied hash. Tieing also allows assignments to the hash to translate into assignments into perl's actual symbol table.
Heaven help me, I am saying that if I had been given a chance years ago to spare the lives of so many of my dearest friends, given the chance to end my exile and alleviate the grief of millions of my fellow countrymen, I would have rejected it if the price we would have had to pay was clusters of bombs killing the innocent, if the price was years of foreign occupation, if the price was the loss of control over our own destiny. Heaven help me, I am saying that I care more about the future of this sad world than about the future of your unprotected children.

Net::Amazon
. I simply can not see any compelling uses for the API that Amazon
provides. Sure, some people have made some interesting hacks but
nothing that gets past the gee-whiz stage. Now, I can search the Amazon
database from an application, but the kinds of information it returns
don't do anything to excite me. Apparently, I can also let people add
stuff to a wedding registry -- which are like some kind of twisted
institutional greed ritualized into normalcy, but that's an entirely
other story -- using "web services" but closer inspection reveals that
this just means HTML form. Go figure. The whole thing seems like a
rushed, half-assed job where someone tried to combine a months worth of
discussions in the "blogosphere" (SOAP vs. REST, XSLT services, am I
hot or not style judging of opinion) into a single package. And the
docs suck rocks.

This was mostly just an exercise to prove
to myself that there is no magic here beyond the standard
eval "require $class";
and
AUTOLOAD
hacks. Problems to sort out : 1) why installing AUTOLOAD subs in the
symbol table doesn't work -- or more specifically, why
XMLRPC::Lite::call() hangs; 2) How to AUTOLOAD methods with dots in
them without declaring the string as a variable first.
