Charting Modules

  1. Chart by the Chart Group. seems like a focused set of people :)

My first Seamstress user!

I was elated to have a user of my module HTML::Seamstress. here is the bug he filed against Seamstress - and complete with a patch!

I am glad to have co-developer.

BookDB for Catalyst is done in HTML::Seamstress

I got HTML::Seamstress up and running the bookdb example. Thanks to Andy Grundman, I can commit to the examples directory on the Catalyst svn site so BookDB-Seamstress is available right here.

Converting it from tt to Seamstress led to a few improvements in HTML::Element::Library , namely the addition of iter2(), a more flexible routine for turning arrays of data into HTML list data, such as dl, ol, or ul.

I learned a lot about Class::DBI::AsForm in the process. That is a very slick module that is underdocumented and highly magical. I have pretty much decided to stick with DBIx::Simple for all of my database processing needs.

A funny conversation about HTML::Mason

[11:26:35] <zamolxes> Shevek: so I take it you use mason with catalyst? so besides the data stashing, what would be different about using mason in a catalyst environment? (as opposed to standalone) [11:28:43] <@mst> a lot of the stuff that&#8217;d be in autohandlers and dhandlers ends up in controllers instead [11:28:54] <@mst> Mason w/Catalyst can be very clean [11:29:20] <@mst> I think my Mason allergy is largely caused by the fact that without catalyst, it tends to end up as a <a href="http://www.php.net/" class="ext"><acronym title="Programmers Hate PHP ;-)">PHP</acronym></a>-like ball of snot [11:29:57] <zamolxes> indeed [11:46:35] <drPoggs> r [11:47:01] <@mst> r [12:02:53] Cctoide_ tries to figure out&#8230; [12:45:08] <Shevek> So, is catalyst meant to create t/Foo/Bar.t or t/Foo_Bar.t ? [12:46:09] <Shevek> I get the impression that I used an old version which created the former, when what I really want is the latter&#8230; [12:49:20] <quicksilver> mst: Mason, like many tools, gives you enough rope to hang yourself, but it doesn&#8217;t force you to insert your neck&#8230; [12:50:52] <@mst> no, but the sign by the noose saying &#8220;heaven this way&#8221; seems to mislead most people who use it
