this page needs an update, testing Hyppolit
Research::Casan
This page stores my ideas and thoughts and other stuff related to my use of Padre.
I will be commenting on releases and connect wishes/comments to tickets when possible.
I will be making comments on: Padre, CPAN6, Rakudo, Parrot, Mod_parrot, DBDI, git/svn, MySQL/PostgreSQL, FreeBSD
which is the toolchain I will keep an eye on, helping me to build web applications in perl6.
PADRE
Feature Requests These have not been targeted any milestones
- wish I don't have to save a file for running some fast test code in the editor and get output to the output window
- wish the output window supported input prompt as if the code were run in a shell
- wish use v6; or perl6 specific syntax in file was enough to have status bar reflect: application/x-perl6 mime
- wish the sidescrollbar in the edit area is set to auto, so it only displays if the content is wide enough to require
- wish the core didn't open so many external windows via the browser, integrated in the ide by default, with settings options
Plugin Ideas (these projects I should do myself and not expect anyone else to do them, I'ld rather the core system works)
- wish: file explorer panel and VCS integration and project management via plugin
- wish: visual memory manager in the gui for debugging and understanding memory usage
- wish: cpan integration - gui for core and extras module management and dependency relations and install log
- wish: integrated parrot/rakudo/perl5 upgrade/downgrade/activator/deactivator mechanism
- wish: additional languages come as plugins
- wish: GUI designer - wxwidgets especially
- wish: SQL database designer/manager
- wish: UML designer with stub code generator
- wish: application starter guide(gui, script, daemon, systray app, webapp)
- wish: application mode, the gui becomes context aware
- wish: gui app, module, distribution deployment manager
- wish: lightweight web&database server with mod_parrot support for testing
- wish: padre developer community, for support services
Misc
Padre Release Process: [http://padre.perlide.org/wiki/Development]
PADRE on Windows Vista
padre-Standalone-5.10.0-alpha-1.exe released: 2009.01.18
http://use.perl.org/~Alias/journal/38312?from=rss
. Installed on Windows Vista
. Created a shortcut C:\padre\perl\bin\padre.bat (with start in: c:\padre\perl\bin)
+ installer works
+ editor works
+ uninstall works
! uninstaller does not remove c:\padre\cpan\histfile
- wish the console window temporarily necessary for starting padre will die soon
- wish the installation could be to any destination=portable
- wish the installation included parrot/rakudo
strawberry-perl-5.10.0.3-portable-beta-1-padre-0.25_2.zip released: 2009.01.16
http://www.szabgab.com/blog/2009/01/1231761972.html
http://padre.perlide.org/wiki/PortableStrawberry
. Installed on Windows Vista
. Created a shortcut C:\portable\perl\bin\portablepadre.bat (with start in: c:\padre\perl\bin)
+ editor works
+ comes with parrot 0.8.2
+ uninstalls easily, simply delete the c:\portable directory
+ files saved with .p6 extension is recognized in the status bar with: application/x-perl6 mime
+ RUN ctrl-F5 c:\portable\parrot\parrot.exe c:\portable\parrot\languages\perl6\perl6.pbc c:\lab\p6p6ext.p6 runs perl6 code
+ files saved with .p6 extension and run via F5 is interpreted by parrot.exe perl6.pbc with output to output window
- wish the portable is portable
- wish the console window temporarily necessary for starting padre will die soon
Suggestion
.merge the two projects
.build an installer with multiple selections:
1. install everything in "preferred destination" with registry and quicklink start menu folder and uninstall entries
2. install strawberry in "c:\program files\strawberry" and padre in "c:\program files\padre" or other destinations
3. install everything barebone in "preferred destination", and offer to create quicklink in "pref dest"
..include offer to install or not install padre, parrot, non-core perl runtime, maybe even make downloadable and not included, etc
..this way we would have a single point of entry for all perl on windows
..1. is like a monolith solution for developers doing things the windows way
..2. is like a live up to the standard defaults option
..3. is like the portable solution, dump and forget
..(4?). is deploy/update perl5/parrot(et al) runtime :)
..(5?). when deploying perl applications, have the installer check/update the runtime to match, locate runtime location through registry.
..!avoid mutual interdependency hell. eg. appA requires lib1versionX, appB requires lib1versionY, choose a strategy. keep it clean.

PERL6
.perl6 is the language by definition = see rakudo for implementation
..still undefined=moving target, when is the basics defined? already perhaps, what are the basics?
RAKUDO
Patrick Michaud++
bug reports by mail only: rakudobug@perl.org !
production ready?: 2010.01.19 when the parrot dependency is deemed prime for production use
..but also requires cpan6 and mod_parrot and mod_perl6/rakudo
PARROT

[https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/ParrotRoadmap]
[https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/roadmap]
1.0 release date: 2009.03.17 = stable API for language implementors eg. perl6=rakudo
2.0 release date: 2010.01.19 = production use, now we will begin to see business applications
until then?: learn perl6, mod_perl6, padre, perl6 webapp, guiapp, daemonapp, script design patterns
until then?: write documentation, and experiment with the code, write pseudo code and demo apps
until then?: develop developer tools and tutorials
until then?: migrate cpan5 modules to cpan6
until then?: develop in perl5 with moose or other OO helper
MOD_PARROT
Jeff Horwitz++
http://www.parrot.org/mod_parrot
MOD_PERL6(RAKUDO)
Jeff Horwitz++
. the language specific module, will sit on top of a shared mod_parrot, using a shared parrot, on a shared apache
CPAN6
? when can & will CPAN5 module owners begin to create CPAN6 counterparts?
. This needs to take off we all know that, but is there anyone driving this initiative?
DBDI
Tim Bunce?, Lathos?
