But sometimes\, you find yourself using a CPAN class that doesn't have quite e nough features for what you're trying to do. What's the best way to deal w ith that sort of situation?\n\nOne option would be to monkey-patch new cod e into the CPAN class you're using — just add extra subroutines to the ori ginal namespace. But unconstrained monkey-patching has consequences that m ake it extremely hard to use in practice. So the usual alternative recomme ndation is to subclass the CPAN code\, add the new methods in the subclass \, and then ensure that the rest of your program always uses the subclass in place of the original. But that approach has two flaws. First\, it can be awkward to make sure your subclass is always used in the right places. Second\, it doesn't actually fix the problem: you can still experience all the same issues as with monkey-patching!\n\nThis talk examines the proble ms with this sort of reuse\, whether you're trying to use monkey-patching or subclassing. It also offers some solutions that take advantage of Perl' s flexibility to make it both easy and safe\, regardless of whether you're using Perl's built-in OO or a full-featured object system like Moose.

Now the foundations are laid\ , current work on Rakudo involves a focus on implementing optimizers\, and optimizing the compiler and runtime environment itself.\n\nWhile there's a long way to go\, this work has already produced results\; for example\, Rakudo at the time of writing runs a Mandelbrot benchmark almost 20 times faster than it could earlier on in the year.

It can solve the N-queens problem. It can help us tile pentominoes. It makes solving a Sudoku problem trivial.\n\nThere's only one little issu e: these problems are all solved in another domain which we can call the " big huge matrix of ones and zeroes domain". Constructing such a matrix man ually is about as fun as boning fish.\n\nSolution: I wrote a set of parser s that can understand a given problem type\, so that we can always deal wi th cute ASCII representations of the problems\, and never the matrix itsel f. We become unfettered from the technical specifics of the algorithm\, wh ile still reaping all the benefits from it.\n\nThe same idea was implement ed in Perl 5/Moose (for prototyping)\, C (for speed)\, and Perl 6 (for bea uty)\, and I will say a thing or two about what's nice about implementing a small project like this in each of those languages.

Recently I needed code to randomly ge nerate a temporary\npassword\, and discovered 12 CPAN modules which I migh t use.\nTMTOWTDI indeed!\n\nI decided to try a CPAN Curation experiment. E very time I need a\nmodule and find multiple candidates on CPAN\, I'll wri te a review.\nI'll submit bugs and where possible patches on the modules I \nlook at. And I'll keep the reviews up to date as new versions of\nmodule s are released.\n\nIn this talk I'll cover experiences so far\, the tools I'm working on\nto help this process\, and how I think the approach could be\nextended.
