masak o/ 13:26
eiro \\o 14:26
masak I think I'll be getting some Web.pm work done this weekend. 14:39
not sure exactly what yet.
but I'm sure there are things to do. :)
eiro hehe 14:47
still no time for personnal works. still loosing my time with koha 14:48
very frustrating
is there an http client lib in perl6? it can be used to store things in couchdb servers (waitong for DBI) 14:51
masak eiro: I think there was some unpublished work on an HTTP client. 14:54
but nothing in the Ecosystem, no.
eiro: if you outline what it is you need for an HTTP client, I'm sure #perl6 can whip something up for you.
eiro masak, it was just an idea: no investiguation 14:58
so i can't tell. 14:59
masak ok.
eiro what's the best strategy to add a lib in perl6 ? NCI or perl6 rewrite ?
i mean: i imagine that NCI bindings would be faster than perl6 code. so, for exemple: isn't it simpler/better to add a curl binding than to rewrite from scratch ftp and http clients ? 15:01
masak I would imagine that NCI is often a good alternative. 15:07
Tene NCI is often pretty easy. If you need to deal with callbacks from C, it gets a bit more complicated. 16:09
eiro: I'd be glad to help you with NCI if you'd like.
masak would like some of that kind of help too 16:12
Tene masak: I'd be glad to help you with NCI if you'd like. 16:14
masak :) 16:15
Tene masak: I was tired last night of waiting for the pcc branch to land, so I hacked on it a bit. Got a couple of minor patches in. Calling a function with named params still doesn't work. :)
masak Tene: did you have some time to look at why I can't start quietfanatic++'s gamebase? 16:16
Tene oh, the sdl thing?
I had time available, yes. I didn't remember that I was supposed to do that, though. 16:17
masak :P
it's just that I'm so curious. I'd like to see the breakout game.
Tene you just need to figure out what the name of the SDL library is on your system and ask parrot to load it. 16:19
masak that sounds promising. 16:21
but I tried the one idea I had -- using locate to find installed copies of libSDL 16:22
and that didn't work.
eiro Tene, thanks for the proposal. i have tons of things i want to test but i promise you i'll ask if i try to bind curl 16:23
(perhaps the Qnetwork would be a best idea as there are still jobs done on QT) 16:24
Tene masak: try running it with strace to see what files it tries to open when you specify the filename like that. 16:31
masak Tene: ooh, good idea. 16:38
Tene that's what I always do. :)
I always feel kinda like I'm cheating when I use strace to solve weird problems like that... :)
masak hm, I don't seem to have strace...
Tene ACK
eiro damn it! YA zsh pb! one of the think i expect the most with perl6 is a parrot based drop-in for legacy (s)hells 16:46
s/drop-in/replacement/ 16:47
well ... chsh -s /bin/parrot-interactive-sh
