Object Oriented Programming in Perl
The top two links there are an excellent jumping in spot if you want to learn how to write object oriented code in Perl. I have some oop experience from C++ and Java, which I then improved upon by writing some object in PHP. As I said, I'm trying to create a radix sorter to create an index to create a search plugin for Movable Type. Since MT is written in Perl, I figured I should learn it. I bought the Llama book from O'Reilly, cruised through the first few chapters, made the switch to online, and busted through the quick primer listed above. Tomorrow I'll try to get to the UMass library to look for some more algorithm analysis stuff, and maybe by tomorrow night I'll have some workable code.
That is, after I finish some online testing modules I'm writing for a client, finsh stripping a bench I'm re-finishing, and check the ceiling fan in my aunts house to make sure the bracket's not loose. Ah, what a wonderful life.
In other news, as recommended by Asa, I'm in the process of cheking out Shareaza. So far, it seems pretty sweet.
And while I'm doing the "by the way thing", I'm still not sure what caused the outage this morning... I'm waiting to hear from my provider. It if bothered anyone, I'm sorry.
