Category: Programming

A big part of my work has to do with code. I’ve worked as system administrator – installing, patching, and configuring someone else’s code. I’ve worked as independent programmer, writing code on my own. I also programmed as part of the team. And on top of that, I worked as Team Leader and Project Manager, where I had to interact a lot with programmers. Programming world on its own is as huge as the universe. There is always something to learn. When I find something worthy or something that I understand enough to write about, I share it in this category.

Taking care of mailing labels

Via this discussion at Perlmonks, I found an interesting module PostScript::MailLabels, which helps a lot when there is a need for generating a mass mailing. Sample image of a label is here. Instead of using MS Word or other heavy-weights one can easily manage everything from a simple Perl script.

Website of Class::DBI module

Via comments to this note at PerlMonks, I’ve learned that Class:: DBI actually has its own website. There you can find all sorts of useful stuff from links to plugins (!!!) for this module, to links to articles about the module, and even a cookbook. Now this is one proper way to maintain a module!
