            <title>Introduzione a Perl da O&apos;Reilly School of Technology</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>La <a href="http://www.oreillyschool.com/"><span class="caps">O'R</span>eilly School of Technology</a> ha reso disponibile la prima parte del <a href="http://www.oreillyschool.com/courses/perl1/?utm_content=em-ost-npa-Perl1-split-B-sans-offer&amp;utm_campaign=OST&amp;utm_source=iPost&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;imm_mid=0561ad&amp;cmp=em-ost-npa-Perl1-split-B-sans-offer">corso di perl del Perl Programming Certificate</a>.</p>

<p>In questa parte introduttiva vengono spiegate le basi del linguaggio, dai tipi di dati alle subroutine, dai loop all'accesso ai file esterni. Il corso, per accedere al quale basta un browser (e il pagamento della quota d'iscrizione ;-)) prevede molti aspetti pratici.</p>

<p>Se la qualità è quella che di solito si trova nei libri <span class="caps">O'R</span>eilly, ci sono buone possibilità che questo corso sia un buon modo per apprendere il linguaggio.</p>]]></description>

            <title>Why (and how to) convert common UTF-8 characters to ASCII</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>There are quotation marks and quotation marks, apostrophes and apostrophes, etc: they're just not all alike. A web application (sometimes) needs to deal with this situation.</p>

<p>In <span class="caps">ASCII </span>you only have one quotation mark, one backtick, one double quotation mark, etc. In <span class="caps">UTF</span>-8 you have (of course) the same ones as <span class="caps">ASCII </span>plus some which are outside the <span class="caps">ASCII </span>set. These allow for more eye-candy characters, and also for distinctions between (for example) <em>right</em> double quotation mark and <em>left</em> double quotation mark.</p>

<p>Along the same lines, the horizontal ellipses is a character in <span class="caps">UTF</span>-8, which in <span class="caps">ASCII </span>you have to enter three dots (...) to create it.</p>

<p>All these new and good-looking characters are good, but they can also prove to be problematic to deal with when you are using some piece of software which doesn't work that well with <span class="caps">UTF</span>-8). For instance, <a href="http://htmldoc.org">htmldoc</a> works with latin1: when you convert from <span class="caps">UTF</span>-8 to <span class="caps">ISO</span>-8859-1 you just lose those characters. In theory you can just not use them, but if you have a web application that takes its input from a form, users could just paste those chars in (it's especially common when pasting from Microsoft Word or other word processing software).</p>

<p>So, you need to get rid of them - that is, convert them to their <span class="caps">ASCII </span>equivalents in order to still see something useful. If you use <a href="http://www.catalystframework.org">Catalyst</a>, there is <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Catalyst-Plugin-Params-Demoronize/">Catalyst::Plugin::Params::Demoronize</a>, by Mike Eldridge, a plugin which does the proper conversion of form parameters (it can also deal with the same problems with Windows-1252 charset if necessary).</p>

<p>This plugin works just fine for me, even though it suffers from a couple of minor problems. First, it still uses <em><span class="caps">NEXT</span></em> as opposed to <em><span class="caps">MRO</span>::Compat</em>, but I already submitted a patch to the author for that. Then, the name just sucks, even though <a href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/webtools/demoroniser/">it has historic reasons to be as such</a>; said that, I'm still not able to think of a better one. ;-)</p>]]></description>

            <title>I&apos;m in for the Belgian Perl Workshop</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="caps">OK, </span>il titolo in inglese è una burla: il breve articolo è in italiano.</p>

<p>Vorrei pubblicizzare un po' nella nostra nazione il <a href="http://conferences.yapceurope.org/bpw2010/">Belgian Perl Workshop</a>, alq uale mi accingo a partecipare per la prima volta quest'anno.  Organizzato da <a href="http://vlaanderen.pm.org/">Vlaanderen.pm</a>, si tiene il 26 Giugno 2010 a Bruxelles.</p>

<p>La partecipazione costa 20 € e di solito sono ospiti importanti personaggi della comunità Perl. Il ticket include caffè, pranzo (panini), WiFi, t-shirt, borsa e qualche gadget degli sponsor. Vediamo se fanno meglio di noi a Pisa. :-)</p>

<p>Ricordate che Giugno, anche climaticamente parlando, è un ottimo periodo per visitare il Nord Europa, gustare le birre, la cioccolata, ed immergersi nel linguaggio Perl!!!</p>]]></description>

            <title>L&apos;importanza di perl 5.12.0</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>perl 5.12.0 sta per arrivare: la 5.11.4 è infatti la prima versione di sviluppo di perl 5.11 a seguito del <em>code freeze</em> che dovrebbe portare presto ad un rilascio della prossima versione stabile dell'interprete.</p>

<p>Perché attendo con interesse il rilascio di perl 5.12.0? Non si tratta (solo) di una questione di novità per quanto riguarda le feature, anche se qualcosa d'interessante c'è (leggete i <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~rjbs/perl-5.11.4/">perldelta</a> per maggiori informazioni).</p>

<p>L'aspetto più importante è, tuttavia, il nuovo ciclo di svliuppo. Dopo il rilascio di Perl 5.10.0 c'è stata un po' di "discussione" su come dovessero essere gestite le release dell'interprete, poiché tra l'una e l'altra in precedenza erano passati spesso periodi interminabili che potevano dare l'impressione di uno sviluppo stagnante.</p>

<p>L'attuale attività mostra che lo sviluppo procede spedito, e questo trasmette fiducia: non bisognerà aspettare altri 5 anni per una versione stabile e migliorata di perl. Se osserviamo infatti le ultime release di sviluppo dell'interprete:</p>

<p>5.11.0 - 2 Ottobre 2009<br />
5.11.1 - 20 Ottobre 2009<br />
5.11.2 - 20 Novembre 2009<br />
5.11.3 - 21 Dicembre 2009<br />
5.11.4 - 20 Gennaio 2010</p>

<p>notiamo che la <a href="http://www.modernperlbooks.com/mt/2009/10/why-perl-5110-matters.html">volontà di rilasciare con cadenza mensile</a> è stata fin'ora rispettata.</p>

<p>Credo che tutto ciò sia una parte alquanto importante di ciò che oggi viene chiamato <em>The Perl Renaissance</em>: avere l'impressione, supportata dai fatti, di un linguaggio che viene attivamente sviluppato a livello sia di librerie che di interprete è fondamentale, anche per attrarre nuovi programmatori.</p>]]></description>

            <title>YAPC:Europe 2010 a Pisa: 4-6 Agosto</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Due righe per indicare che abbiamo finalmente stabilizzato le date della <a href="http://conferences.yapceurope.org/ye2010/"><span class="caps">YAPC</span>::Europe 2010</a>, la principale conferenza europea sul linguaggio Perl che quest'anno per la prima volta si terrà in Italia (a pisa):</p>

<p>4-6 Agosto 2010</p>

<p>L'evento è particolarmente rilevante, poiché riunisce i principali sviluppatori europei, ed anche la presenza extra-europea è notevole. La scorsa edizione, tenutasi a Lisbona, ha chiuso sopra i 320 iscritti.</p>

<p>Spero che i lettori del mio blog appassionati di programmazione vorranno cogliere l'occasione e partecipare all'evento, adatto sia ad esperti che principianti!</p>

            <title>Nordest Perl Mongers plans for 2010</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>In this post I'd like to point out some things related to <a href="http://nordest.pm.org/">Nordest Perl Mongers</a>, as Andrew Shitov asked PM group coordinators to do. This will mainly be a short explanation of what we done in 2009 and what we plan to do in 2010.</p>

<p>Nordest.pm is a Perl Mongers group which covers the North-Eastern ("Nordest" in Italian) part of Italy. The group rose from the ashes of previous attempts to form a Perl group (such as Venice.pm and Pordenone.pm, which do not exist anymore).</p>

<p><big><b>What happened in 2009</b></big></p>

<p>2009 was not a very active year for the group itself, but not really because we're not active. Fact is that the most interesting part of our activity is done with the other Italian perl mongers as a part of <a href="http://www.perl.it/">Perl.It</a>, which is now also a registered association. We organized the <a href="http://conferences.yapceurope.org/ipw2009/">2009 Italian Perl Workshop</a> with the other Perl.It folks, and we're going to organize <a href="http://conferences.yapceurope.org/ye2010/"><span class="caps">YAPC</span>::Eu 2010</a> this year.</p>

<p>The 2009 activity of Nordest Perl Mongers mostly revolved around our mailing list: members reviewed some books and posted links to reviews there. Again, however, most Perl discussion (including <span class="caps">IRC </span>chat) happens in Perl.It space.</p>

<p>I gave a talk at the <a href="http://asci.cc.uniud.it/osd2009/">Open Source Day</a> in Udine regarding how <em>Modern Perl</em> is a different concept than what many people who don't know Perl think of it. The talk went well, and was widely appreciated, so I hope it'll be helpful for the language in this area.</p>

<p>We were able to hold a couple of informal meetings, that is to say a couple of lunches. There was never enough technical talk in those occasions, but it was still good to meet the other folks (some work abroad, so you don't see them really every day ;-)).</p>

<p><big><b>What we plan to do in 2010</b></big></p>

<p>I have some ideas for 2010, even though I'm quite sure some of what we plan will skip to 2011, mainly because of the work we have to do for <span class="caps">YAPC</span>::Eu organization in Pisa.</p>

<p>One of the things we must work on more than else, is on recruiting new members and try to be more "local", so that we can organize more frequent meetings (a monthly basis would be great). North-Eastern Italy is fairly big and it takes some effort to meet: being more would mean that we could have some local "sub-groups", and everything would be easier.</p>

<p>I plan to keep on giving talks at events related to open source in my area. There are not really a lot, but there's always something (Linux-related mostly, but would do) scattered along the year.</p>

<p>There's also the idea to organize an event dedicated to "dynamic and functional" languages which could have some appeal. For this we need to talk with folks programming Haskell, Python, etc.</p>

<p>Well, I think this is enough for now! ;-)</p>]]></description>

            <title>La nuova immagine di Perl sul web</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Ultimamente c'è molto fermento nella comunità Perl: ciò si manifesta, tra l'altro, nel crescente numero blog più o meno dedicati al linguaggio (ancora pochi in italiano, purtroppo), nonché dal successo di iniziative tipo l' <a href="http://ironman.enlightenedperl.org/">Iron Man Challenge</a>.</p>

<p>Fino a qualche mese fa, tuttavia, l'immagine che fornivano i siti "istituzionali" della comunità Perl era un po'... obsoleta. Guardate ad esempio <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20080604064355/http://www.perl.org/">questo</a>, fortunatamente ora visibile solo su Web Archive. ;-)</p>

<p>Recentemente sono stati completamente ridisegnati questi siti:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.perl.org/">http://www.perl.org/</a><br />
<a href="http://lists.perl.org/">http://lists.perl.org/</a><br />
<a href="http://www.perl6.org/">http://www.perl6.org/</a></p>

<p>che forniscono una prima immagine decisamente più ordinata e coerente del linguaggio.</p>

<p>Quindi... quale momento migliore per approfondire la conoscenza di Perl? Visitate perl.org, iscrivetevi alle mailing list oppure... se preferite l'italiano, <a href="http://www.perl.it">visitate Perl.It</a>.</p>]]></description>

            <title>Sympa version 6</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Sympa, the mailing list manager written in Perl, reached version 6 last October (latest version is currently 6.0.1)</p>

<p>Version 5 is already far superior to most other mailing list software including the widespread <span class="caps">GNU</span> Mailman. Sympa also enjoys a much more active development than Mailman, which has been stuck at maintenance releases of version 2.1 for many years.</p>

<p>Version 6, first of all, features a brand new web interface. You take a look at it here:</p>

<p><a href="http://demo.sympa.org/sympa">http://demo.sympa.org/sympa</a></p>

<p>The mailing daemon went through a rewrite and it now allows parallel sending of e-mail, both on a single server or with multiple servers. It's behaviour is fully customizable.</p>

<p>Most configuration features are now in the database and not in text files: this makes it possible to edit most parameters directly through the web interface.</p>

<p>Other improvements include stronger security, list cloning, translations in a variety of languages, personalized moderation of messages and improved spam handling.</p>

<p>The Sympa folks also created a <span class="caps">VMW</span>are <a href="https://www.sympa.org/virtual_sympa_server/quick_start">virtual machine</a> which allows you to bootstrap a working Sympa environment - so that you're ready to go within minutes.</p>]]></description>

            <title>Scrivere applicazioni Facebook in Perl (parte 1)</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Questa è la traduzione di <a href="http://www.cattlegrid.info/blog/2009/11/writing-facebook-applications-in-perl.html">questo mio articolo in inglese</a>.</p>

<p>Quindi volete scrivere un'applicazione per questo social network controverso ma abbondantemente utilizzato. La buona notizia è che potete usare che linguaggio vi pare per fare ciò, poiché le applicazioni per Facebook risiedono su un server di vostra scelta e si tratta semplicemente di configurare FB affiché <em>mappi</em> l'applicazione alla <span class="caps">URL </span>sul vostro server.</p>

<p>I linguaggi più comunemente utilizzati per estendere Facebook sono <span class="caps">FBML </span>(un linguaggio di markup da inserirsi direttamente nella pagine che si creano) e <span class="caps">PHP.</span> Noi utilizziamo il nostro preferito, cioè <a href="http://www.perl.org/">Perl</a>.</p>

<p>Questo breve articolo illustra come creare qualcosa di molto semplice. Spero che comunque questo post diventi semplicemente la <em>prima parte</em> di una serie di articoli dove possiamo sviluppare applicazioni più complesse.</p>]]></description>

            <title>Installare un&apos;applicazione Catalyst con FastCGI su Apache o lighttpd</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>L'utilizzo di <a href="http://www.fastcgi.com/">FastCGI</a> rappresenta un modo abbastanza semplice per configurare un ambiente di produzione per un'applicazione <a href="http://www.catalystframework.org/">Catalyst</a> su un buon numero di web server (qui vedremo come fare su <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/">Apache</a> e <a href="http://www.lighttpd.net/">lighttpd</a>).</p>

<p>Questo tutorial presume che vogliate gestire l'applicazione esternamente rispetto al web server: in pratica non lasciate gestire ad Apache/lighttpd l'avvio e la chiusura di essa. Ciò ha alcuni vantaggi, tra i quali quello di poter facilmente riavviare l'applicazione senza riavviare il web server stesso (quindi senza interferire con altro che viene eventualmente gestito dallo stesso server). Se preferite far gestire l'applicazione Catalyst al server, <a href="http://www.perl.it/blog/archives/000232.html">qui trovate un tutorial su come farlo con Apache</a>.</p>]]></description>

            <title>mod_perlite leap forward with version 0.10</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>It's not really news, but I haven't talked about it yet: <a href="http://modperlite.org/">mod_perlite</a> is now usable! ;-)</p>

<p>For folks who don't know what <em>mod_perlite</em> is, take a look at <a href="http://perlbuzz.com/2009/07/mod-perlite-helps-perl-gain-ground-in-the-php-arena.html">this article on PerlBuzz</a>. Tu summarize, it's a module which embeds Perl into Apache, much lighter than <em>mod_perl</em>, with less features and with some advantages. It makes Perl usable a-la-PHP.</p>

<p>Before October 10 the module was not really usable because of some serious bugs, which were recently solved. Version 0.10 of <em>mod_perlite</em> can run MovableType, which is a fairly complex piece of software so I guess most <span class="caps">CGI </span>scripts are supported as of now.</p>

<p>The project still needs help, and the module needs testing. If you're interested, jump in. The <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/modperlite?pli=1">mailing list</a> is plagued by spam these days (maybe because of a configuration mistake), so check out <a href="http://github.com/sodabrew/mod_perlite/">the GitHub page</a>.</p>]]></description>

            <title>An idea for PerlSki::IT</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>A couple of years ago we held the <a href="http://www.perl.it/blog/archives/000602.html">PerlHike::IT</a>. Even though there were just 2 of us, it marked a "first time" for the Italian Perl Community, and we hope to repeat it in summer 2010.</p>

<p>For the winter (not <em>necessarily</em> this winter), I am planning to probe around if there's interest in a <strong>PerlSki::IT</strong>. Joining Perl and skiing <a href="http://use.perl.org/~Matts/journal/28269">is not a new idea</a>, but the plan is to make something more geek than a day on the slopes.</p>

<p>The event should at least feature:</p>


<ul>
<li>a day or two skiing</li>
<li>talks (at least some lightning ones), possibly renting a small room one afternoon</li>
<li>a night out (hotel, friend's house, apartment, tent, ...)</li>
<li>food and beer in the evening</li>
</ul>



<p>For my own personal convenience, the event could be held in the world-known <a href="http://www.cortina.dolomiti.org/">Cortina d'Ampezzo</a> town, in  the heart of the dolomites. It's a fairly easy reach from Treviso and Venezia airports, and I can even host a couple of folks in a small apartment not far from Cortina. Other accomodation can be arranged in nearby towns.</p>

<p>So, if there's any interest, or any suggestion for some other places (there should be at least one Perl folk there to help arrange things), just post. ;-)</p>]]></description>
