The linked gist is the initial draft of a module that allows Rex to show diffs on the terminal upon file changes during task execution. I'm posting it here both for early availability and early feedback.

I think it is a good example of how to extend Rex without changing the core, and publishing on CPAN would be a great way to share.

Additional features could include colored output support, and pluggable diff backends (like Text::Diff::Unified::XS, or even using diff binary, if present).

The name is following this logic: it extends Rex via a Hook for File operations to show the Diff of changes. It could be more specific (e.g. Rex::Hook::File::Diff::Unified), but I feel it's already getting long, so I tried to find a good balance.

Some questions I am wondering about:

• is there a better fit for the name?
• would it be possible/easy to merge this into Rex core distribution later (which already has Rex::Hook)?
• is there a better approach to generate diffs?

Feedback welcome both here and on the gist.

Motivation

I'm currently playing with async-await in Mojolicious. It's great.

When I want to call a lot of external commands, I noticed that there is no way to limit concurrent calls to external commands. So I tried creating Mojo::Promise::Limitter.

Questions

• Is there already a module that has the same functionality as this module?
• Any feedback (including implementation) is welcome.

This simple module should enumerate all domain controllers via DNS SRV records.

I have a problem to find a proper name - Net::DNS::ActiveDirectory::DomainController::Discovery is way too long.

Any better ideas?

Small, 2-file module providing practical, useful Perl regex functionality. Pattern matching, obtain 'to' and 'from' match indices, substitute part of a pattern match, and substitute all matching patterns with a new pattern.

Just running this by everyone and wondering what is thought...

It's a small, 2-file collection OO wrapper providing Perl Regex functionality. Matching, substitution, to/from matching index info, etc. are available.

Regex::Wrapper and Regex::Wrapper::Match are the package names.

The code in the 'Synopsis' section closest to the bottom is some 'driver' code that exercises the packages.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to check this out.

This dist would consist of two modules

MooX::TwoWayRelations - adds the has_two_way function to set up an two-way attribute.

Moo::BrightChild::Role - a child that knows who it's parents is/are.

I'm clueless on implementation details. Thought I'd throw the idea out there (and also hear if it exists). I would not know what names to search for.

This module provides details about the current CI environment. This is a perl port of https://github.com/watson/ci-info.

Questions:

• Do you think the name "CI" is appropriate?
• Do you think this module is useful?
• Any feedback is welcome.

Thanks.

Data::Ref is used to show the complete path to all elements in a complex data structure consisting of Hash and/or Arrays.

Recently I have spent a fair bit of time manipulating some deeply nested JSON structures that have been read in via some JSON package. At times it has been difficult to determine the exact data path to any particular piece of data..

In addition to being deeply nested, the data is sometimes large, and there may be many elements in each object. The net result is this; it is quite difficult at times to determine the path to any particular element, as it is usually necessary to scroll through several screens of data.

I developed Data::Ref so that I can easily see how to reference any element appearing in the data.

The included demo scripts simply do one of the following: - read in a perl script that contains only data from an object, process with eval and then walk and display the paths to each element - much the same as previous, but read data from a JSON file

See test-files/tc03.pl for the test data.

Note: the standard Markdown code blocks are not behaving in the manner I would normally expect. I will add a short demo when I learn how to do it properly.

In the meantime, please see Data::Ref README.md which contains demos.

xxHash is an extremely fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm, working at speeds close to RAM limits. It is proposed in two flavors, 32 and 64 bits, producing 32 bit or 64 bit long digest output, respectively. (See http://www.xxhash.com for details) This module is an object oriented interface of xxHash 64-bit hash functions. The interface implementation can handle data of arbitrary length and capable to run both on 32 bit and 64 bit Perl environment.

a simple tool to export browser bookmarks from CLI (Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer). This has not been tested extensively (and contains some unorthodox code), but comments and suggestions would be welcome anyway.
