Programming

Some of my programming stuff can be found at my git repository .

Perl

• My directory on CPAN .
• Test reports from the kind CPAN smokers (and the corresponding Perl/platform matrix ).
• CPANTS ratings .
• Code coverage reports generated by running Devel::Cover on the test suite.
• An improved XS syntax highlighting file for Vim that can be generated from perl source tree with this utility. Download the syntax file to ~/.vim/syntax/xs.vim to install it.
• A patch that fixes some building errors of perl 1 .

C

• Alchemy , a little block game in C (needs some curses library). Updated 2007-09-15 to 0.03.
• A C macro expander , useful for preprocessing your code before running it through gcov (usage : ./mxp.pl [-i|-n|-o outfile] infile).

X-Chat

• Miscellaneous Perl scripts for X-Chat 2.0.8 and higher. Put the *.pl files and the Xchat directory into your X-Chat data directory (~/.xchat2 on Unices or %APPDATA%/X-Chat 2 on Windows).
• A patch to add a xchat_user_info function to the XChat plugin API.

Gentoo

• A Gentoo ebuild for the Giac/Xcas computer algebra system version 0.9.0.
• A set of patches to fix perl integration into Gentoo :
  • /usr/portage/eclass/perl-{app,module}.eclass : if PREFER_BUILDPL isn't set to "yes", the installation process never falls back to Build.PL when no Makefile.PL is present.
  • /usr/bin/g-cpan : fix the creation of wrong ebuilds (without version) for top level modules.
  • /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.x.x/Gentoo/CPAN.pm : modules extracted by CPAN have a random extension and Gentoo can't see them.
  • /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.x.x/Gentoo/Portage.pm : badly designed strip_env() generates a few warnings.
