2018-09-20 Perl 6 Peer Review?

Does anybody feel like looking at my code and giving me some feedback? My main problem as a lone programmer is that I never know whether I’m doing it idiomatically. There’s no peer review when I’m working on my private projects away from the office.

Sometimes there’s no peer review when I’m working at the office, too. 😄

So, I’m guessing there are quite a few areas where I could use some help:

• Better ways to write things using Perl 6
• Better ways to write things using Cro
• Better ways to write tests
• Better ways to organize code
• Better ways to document code
• Better installation instructions
• How to make this distributable via CPAN

Code:

git clone https://alexschroeder.ch/cgit/oddmuse6

​#Oddmuse 6 ​#Perl 6

I made another reorganisation of the source code, trying to follow the instructions about distributing modules and thinking that the ultimate test would be to make a local installation. I somehow had the idea that this should work using zef:

=> distributing modules

zef install ./Oddmuse

But sadly, it doesn’t:

zef install ./Oddmuse
===> Testing: Oddmuse6:ver<0.0.1>:auth
===> Testing [OK] for Oddmuse6:ver<0.0.1>:auth
===> Installing: Oddmuse6:ver<0.0.1>:auth
===> Install [FAIL] for Oddmuse6:ver<0.0.1>:auth: ===SORRY!===

Now what?

On #perl6 I was given the solution: my META6.json was wrong.

1. I had a typo in the one file I had in the provides section

2. I was missing all the other files in the provides section

I definitely will need a tool to check this!

I kept working on that README file and I think it’s looking good! Now I’ll wait for the confirmation mail from PAUSE so that I can upload it to CPAN. At least that’s the plan. And adding more features, of course. ☺

Heh. And I found the offline Cro documentation in the form of Markdown files deep down in the ~/.zef directory. That’s not as integrated as I would have liked but it works for me. And who knows, perhaps I’ll find the tool that allows me to browse it all.

All these days have gone by and I didn’t get a reply from CPAN. No account created, I guess.
