Well I’m trying to write my first Moose metaclass. “MooseX::Iterator”:http://code2.0beta.co.uk/moose/svn/MooseX-Iterator/trunk/ gives a smalltalk stream-like access to your Moose collections. Right now it only works with arrayrefs but I hope add hashes and I hope to move it to “MooseX-AttributeHelpers”:http://code2.0beta.co.uk/moose/svn/MooseX-AttributeHelpers/ at some point.

This “article”:http://onsmalltalk.com/programming/smalltalk/why-smalltalk/ comes across as a bit angry, but mostly I think he’ s right.

An interesting “article”:http://www.matasano.com/log/958/enough-with-the-rainbow-tables-what-you-need-to-know-about-secure-password-schemes/ on why you shouldn’t build your own password scheme…

I’m starting to use “Module::Install”:http://search.cpan.org/dist/Module-Install/ for my perl projects. There are some good reasons to use it:

* Extremely easy for beginners to learn
* Does everything ExtUtils::MakeMaker does.
* Does it with a dramatically simpler syntax.
* Automatically scans for metadata for you.
* Requires no installation for end-users.
* Generates a stock Build.PL for Module::Build users.
* Guaranteed forward-compatibility.
* Automatically updates your MANIFEST.
* Distributing scripts is easy.
* Include prerequisite modules (less dependencies to install)
* Auto-installation of prerequisites.
* Support for Inline-based modules.
* Support for File::ShareDir shared data files
* Support for precompiled PAR binaries.
* Deals with Win32 install issues for you.
