As if there weren't enough session handling mechanisms (session id's in each URL, cookies, http only cookies, JWT tokens in the request header), let me introduce you a novel one: having a service worker that intercepts and cryptographically signs all the requests to the origin.With the traditional session handling mechanisms, we have a static piece of information, usually generated on

Perl6 has just been released, after 15 years of intensive development. Now it's the perfect time for any developer to become a star, or at least to position himself in a very marketable position.
What one has to do to take advantage of the opportunities is to:
Install Perl6 - Following the instructions from the previous URL I had Perl6 installed in about 6 minutes on my dev VM

Imagine you want to try the service offered by a site, but you have to log in to be able to do it. It is the first time you arrive on this site and of course you don't have an account. In order to get one, you have to sign up. Assuming the site doesn't offer you the option to sign up with facebook, twitter, google or other OAuth providers you'll most probably end up filling around

This will not be such a YOLO experience, because the whole upgrading from Wheezy to Jessie (stable) went smoothly. I describe the whole process below.
I'm not such a great risk taker as to jump head first to the newest and shiniest things that appear. No, I'm using Debian as my main desktop OS for about a year now and I upgraded to Jessie from Wheezy sometimes in

What I mean when I say that CPAN PR Challenge is not really a challenge, is that contributing to well known Perl modules is much more accessible for the mere programmer than I expected. And I wouldn't had find out this without participating in the CPAN PR Challenge.

Larry Wall, the God of +Perl, is coming to the third anniversary of +Cluj Perl Mongers and you should come too if you have the possibility.
This is great, because this is the year that Perl 6 will be launched into production and it will become a huge

This post is a response to the Yet Another Perl Rant article which appeared on hackernews.
Without being a special kind of paranoid or conspiracy theory adept, I can't help myself noticing that from time to time an article appears which tries to convince us that Perl is dead and there are no reasons to learn it.

If you're somehow related to the IT field (you're a sys admin, a QA, a Project Manager, or even a programmer) you surely got at least one request from a relative who just opened a business, to create them a "simple" website. This term - "simple" - lies anywhere from some texts that don't need to be updated in the future, to online stores or web scale streaming platforms. How hard can it be? it's
Below is the minimum you need in order to have a web app that provides Facebook authentication.
Although there are less than 100 lines of code (including comments), this is a complete Facebook application implemented in +Perl , using the +Mojolicious web framework. It provides Facebook authentication and accesses user's Facebook username. Of course, with proper scope

Organize meetings, social events and hackathons, pretend you want to help the community, then use the ideas you saw there to serve your personal purpose. In order for this to work, you have to keep for yourself everything that you work on until the launch day, while you encourage the participants to tell you as much as possible about their businesses. If they ask you something about what
I am a +Perl software developer for since 2010 and I'm a paid software developer since 2006 years. I live in Cluj-Napoca, which is the second most populous city in Romania.
After about just 3 years after I become a paid programmer I started to have this feeling that I wouldn't have the same standard of living in another country as a software developer that I have in Romania.
I got the opportunity to be present at YAPC::EU 2013 in Kiev and it was great. I even had a lightning talk in which I talked briefly about PRForge and presented a way in which it can help the perl ecosystem to increase its overall reach and audience.
Although I prepared my talk thoroughly beforehand (by repeating it more than 10 times in front of my computer's camera), when I

I am happy that I had the opportunity to be present at what I think is the second most important European Perl conference: the London Perl Workshop. I'll try to describe the short but intense journey in a way that will convince even more people to be present in the future.

A while back I wrote about the awesomeness of Mojolicious with Bootstrap from Twitter.
I was then introducing the Mojolicious Boilerplate - a light github repository which is meant to give a head start to any Perl developer who wants to create modern, shiny, good looking (Bootstrap) web apps in simple, logical, easy to learn and really, really fast manner (Mojolicious).

We've all heard of all kinds of metaphors regarding technical debt, but until recently, I never knew of any study that could put a price tag on it.
I guess I'm not the only one unaware of the existence of such a study because I've heard of developers almost crying (before flying away from there) because businesses are not keen on writing tests or refactor code, mainly because the cost of
I am pretty new to Perl - will have 2 years in August 2012 - and I am in love with it. From those 2 years, I spent 8 months on a project which although was written in Perl, was in maintenance mode and I didn't have to code too much.
I feel guilty and some kind of selfish because I don't have a short list of stuff that, showing to other developers would persuade them into start using Perl
It's the first meeting in Cluj and I am happy to be one of the speakers. Especially because Matt S Trout (the creator of DBIx::Class) is holding two talks.

Hi,
Almost everywhere I read the use of FORCE INDEX is highly discouraged and I perfectly understand and know why - there are immensely huge chances that MySQL knows better what indexes to choose than the (average) developer.
However, recently I have found a case where FORCE INDEX improved my execution times in the range of hundred of times:

I needed to transform an absolute path, to a relative one.
IE: I had a $path1 = "/var/www/classifieds/Includes/configs"(this was the location of the php script that was executing), and a $path2 = "/var/www/classifieds/images/my_images". From those two paths, I needed something like $path3 = "images/my_images"which could be translated into something like "The difference between the
