Damiano Verzulli<p>I'm still struggling building a development chain for a <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/PERL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PERL</span></a> application (a REST-API server), that I'm writing on my notebook and want to ship on several air-gapped production servers.<br>I cannot run container images on target servers, so docker/podman are a no go.</p><p>To avoid problems with dependencies, I heavily searched for some "bundler" (like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/esbuild" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>esbuild</span></a> I'm using for Node), but I failed 😠 .

Ænðr E. Feldstraw<p>I just saw a malware exploit programmed this year in the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>perl</span></a> programming language. Perl. This year. <br> <br>At first I thought it might be PHP. But some of the keywords struck me as odd, and it definitely was reading command-line arguments, a feature not regularly on display in PHP as it's geared to web page generation. <br> <br>Then I thought maybe it's c. But it used object-oriented method accessors and had no header imports. <br> <br>Perl. Still used in many a Linux and Unix-based distro. And in malware.</p>

Is this binding? Looks to me like most packages often support very low Perl versions.

Felix 🇺🇦🚴♂️🇨🇦🇬🇱🇩🇰🇲🇽🇵🇦 🇪🇺<p>Hello <a href="https://norden.social/tags/perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>perl</span></a> community, how do you actually do that? For example, if you want to use the really new Perl features (e.g. classes) in your libraries and want to publish them on CPAN. Do you then not use such features? Or can I publish code for different Perl versions? It would be cool if there was something like a Perl transpiler (similar to the JS/typescript world) where you can transpile modern Perl to low level Perl. e.g. when you install a package for a specific <a href="https://norden.social/tags/perl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>perl</span></a> version.</p>
