Hughmoris posted:Does anyone have any recommended readings or tips for learning how to scrape a webpage with perl? My personal go-tos for that are WWW::Mechanize and HTML::Query. As an example, here's a recent thing I made, which scrapes some messages from a login-protected site to a JSON API.

Hughmoris posted:I can't say I really understand what's going on here: while (my @vals = $it->()) When you call natatime , you get back a (reference to a) subroutine. Whenever you call this subroutine (i.e., the $it->() call), it gives you the n (in this case 3) next elements of the list you provided. The while-loop then terminates once there are no more values to return, since the empty list is a falsy value. If you're curious, you can see the implementation here.

I thought I'd share a small tool I find useful: perlopen It's basically just a small script that searches your include path for a specific package, and opens it in your editor. E.g. perlopen WWW::Mechanize Saves you some time from searching for the file if you want to, say, inspect the source of an installed CPAN module or whatnot.

For anyone who hasn't seen it; there are livestreams of YAPC::NA on their YouTube channel.

Mithaldu posted:To be honest, i'm not entirely sure much world-shifting stuff happened? Subroutine signatures are pretty nice, too. And there's also the double diamond operator, which is worth knowing about, I suppose.
