Hi Uri,
It looks like it has been quite some time since maintenance releases
have been made to File::Slurp. I wanted to see if you wouldn't mind
passing me CO-MAINT privileges so I could work with a few others to
get some updates pushed out.
There are a few open issues that could be worked on as well as a few
things that could be documented a bit more thoroughly.
For example, in the up-coming release of Perl 5.30, some things will break:
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=117005
My PAUSE id is capoeirab and I'd be happy to take on the task of minor
maintenance and documentation update releases.
hi all,
it has been a lousy 20 months looking for work and i let all my modules
slide due to lack of emotion due to the job search. i do have something
lined up but the federally required background check is taking forever.
i would like to give co-maintenance to chase for File::Slurp. i am
somewhat surprised at the interest since i have seen it slammed so often
on various forums but it still has over 500 reverse dependencies on cpan.
i only have one request, that i get to do code review on new patches so
the code quality is up to my standards
also i have some ideas for new features that i would like to see
implemented. one is a shortcut module called FS that you can use on the
command like and it will export all the module subs as 2 or 3 letter
shortcuts like rf(), efl(), etc. then you can do something like this:
perl -MFS -e 'ef {s/foo/bar/g} shift' filename
instead of the -il000 option which is hard to remember
another feature would be to add backup files to edit_file and
edit_file_lines. i don't see any easy way to make that atomic though.
anyhow, let's get the co-maint going and i suspect it will spark me to
get back to being involved in slurp. positive outside energy is a good
thing for me.
i do have a repo on github but not used in a while. i think the name is
perlhunter. i can give edit perms there as well. i may need some help
with the admin of that. when the cpan co-maint is done (or in parallel)
we can tackle that too.
thanx,
uri
