Hi I ve been trying to install glib off and on for days ultimate goal to get gtk3 + glade running Strawberry perl 5.30.3 ive tried a few versions Gtk3 is installed and running showing the demos all ok

I would like to do it through cpanm install Glib but that fails

Firstly it was missing libs so i found a previous thread on compiling glib from 2016 and copied the Makefile command as below altering it for my install

perl Makefile.PL INC="-IC:\gtk+\include\glib-2.0 -IC:gtk+\lib\glib-2.0
+\include" LIBS="-LC:gtk+/lib -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.+0 -lintl -lgthre
+ad-2.0"

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance for any help / guidance

Greetings to those who check PerlMonks daily, and everyone else, too, from those of us with short, random user names.

Whom should I ask about an proposing official consideration of promoting Text::CSV to the Perl base, to consider affording it the same status and dissemination as say Getopt::Long or Data::Dumper? The reason for asking is that it seems that basic upstream AWK has recently gotten integrated CSV support now:

Kernighan, now 80, offhandedly mentions in the interview that he has also patched something "quick and dirty" to let AWK handle CSV files.

That CSV support will likely percolate down to all the AWK variants someday, too. So it would be very nice to add Text::CSV to the base of Perl to keep up with the competition so to speak, though I am unsure of the process to ask, whom to ask, whether it has been considered already, and the overall merits/demerits of the idea.

Myself, I only learned AWK rather recently and have gotten by for ages and ages with Perl for such tasks. Generally, perl -a -p -e ... and perl -a -n -e ... have done the job well for all these decades except when encountering with CSV files. Adding Text:CSV to the base would be a boon. Manually installing Text::CSV from CPAN or the relevant repository each time is feasible for many people but not all. Many don't administer their own boxes or have very helpful system administrators. So it would be perk for them to have it in the base, not to mention an opportunity for positive press about keeping with the times and "data science" and such.

tldr; keeping up with AWK

Hello esteemed monks,

Is there such a service where I could subscribe to notifications about new versions of modules I'm specifically interested in?

I know there's a whole section devoted to this in the perl weekly newsletter, but the 12 stars requirement is a bit of "one size fits all".

Thank you!

I'm using the Perl module Crypt::GPG and I'm unable to decrypt a file (using the Mageia 8 distribution).

Encryption works well.

So up to now, I was using the system command (system("gpg --decrypt ...) but it seems that now there is a 2mn timeout which makes me unable to use this command on big encrypted files.

As I could not succeed to replace the "system" command with "use IPC::Run qw(run timeout) ; run ...", I'm trying again with the Crypt::GPG module.

Here is my code :

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict ;

# Does not exist anymore in Mageia.
# use GnuPG qw( :algo ) ;
use Crypt::GPG ;

my $gpg = new Crypt::GPG ;
$gpg->gpgbin('/bin/gpg') ;
$gpg->secretkey('my_email_address') ;
$gpg->passphrase('my_gpg_passphrase') ;

my $encryptedFile = 'myfile.tar.gz.gpg' ;
my $tarFile = 'myfile.tar.gz' ;

my @encryptedFileArray = () ;

open(GPG_FILE, "$encryptedFile") || die "can't open file $encryptedFil
+e !" ;
@encryptedFileArray = <GPG_FILE> ;
close(GPG_FILE) ;

my ($plaintext, $signature) = $gpg->verify("\@encryptedFileArray");
# print("$plaintext\n");
open(TAR_FILE, ">$tarFile") || die "can't open file $tarFile !" ;
print(TAR_FILE $plaintext) ;
close(TAR_FILE) ;

exit ;

Do you know what I'm doing wrong ?

Thank you for your wisdom.

Regards.
