    By now you've all seen The St. Larry Wall Shrine. Well, it could use a fresh coat of gold leaf and shellac. Therefore, we are soliciting Larry-related items to be placed on the shrine. Links to offsite content are good; or if you have small bits of content, such as quotes, you'd like to contribute, that's fine too. Please reply to this Quest with your humble offerings. Thank you! And may St. Larry bless your codings and your debuggings.

    Esteemed Monk kcott has recently proposed an excellent idea.

    heretoforthwithstanding, we invite all monks to submit ideas for new monk quips!

    Your quip suggestion should include the following details:

    • Intended quip location: either XP Nodelet, Chatterbox, or Monkbar (that's the page header).
    • Text of quip.
    • Optional: background & foreground colours. If you include these, be sure they are nicely contrasting.

    Apparently we forgot to announce the GPW24 in Frankfurt, like we did before so time to at least denounce it now. ;-)

    It was great again:

    • 20% more attendants than the year before
    • interesting talks, especially about AI
    • Sleep inducing oxygen deprivation, till we managed to regularly open the windows
    • International guest-speakers: Indians from India, Americans from France, Ukrainians from Finland, Kiwis from Germany, Germans from London, Brits from Alpine State-lets and ... Bavarians ... ;-)
    Thanks to for organizing :)))

    And sorry for everyone I missed denouncing!

    See you next year in Munich.

    Cheers Rolf
    (addicted to the Perl Programming Language :)
    see Wikisyntax for the Monastery

    PS: Apparently there is still a huge (200+ attendants) YAPC happening in Japan each year, would be nice to connect here (or anywhere else) ...

IPC::Run3 not working as expected when running Docker command

    Got this docker command I want to run. Note the tail command at the end for keeping the container up and running.

    docker run -d --name xxxyyyzzz-blah alpine /bin/ash -c "/usr/bin/tail +-f /dev/null"

    The following backtick operation runs this command with no issue and the container is detached from and the container is left still running:

    use v5.38; `docker run -d --name xxxyyyzzz-blah alpine /bin/ash -c "/usr/bin/tail + -f /dev/null"`;

    However, with the IPC::Run3 module, the container gets set up, but the tail command never seems to get executed and the container exits immediately:

    use v5.38; use IPC::Run3; my $cmd = [ 'docker', 'run', '-d', '--name', 'xxxyyyzzz-blah', 'alpine +', '/bin/ash', '-c', '"/usr/bin/tail -f /dev/null"' ]; my ($out, $err); my $success = run3($cmd, undef, \$out, \$err); print $success; # prints 1

    I tried breaking up the the last element into 3 different elements separated by spaces but that didn't help.

    $MC = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest Vicar Parson";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MC;

how to use find() options

    Hi Monks,

    i am not able to follow symbolic links when using the find() command. it says on the manual that the 'follow' or 'follow_fast' option should be used but i don't understand how to use it together with the '\&wanted' routine -

    use File::Find; find(\&wanted, @directories); find(\%options, @directories);
    thanks a lot, Yaron.
Imager font problem

    Dear Monks,

    I'm using Imager to render truetype fonts but there is no output, and no error, it's just blank. I checked $Imager::formats{tt} to see if Imager has truetype support and it's blank. I have some /usr/share/fonts/truetype so I dunno why Imager says that. How can Imager be compiled with tt support?

    I have another computer with a similar setup but on that one Imager does render truetype even though $Imager::formats{tt} is blank! They are different operating systems and versions of Imager so I don't know. I could install the only fonts that Imager supports on this box: Freetype2, but I want to use truetype and would appreciate any ideas you have on how to get Imager to use my fonts.

    Thank you.
