devel:languages:perl Perl and perl modules ++++++++++ Note: We are going to change the version format of the modules. See https://github.com/openSUSE/cpanspec/issues/47 for context ++++++++++ Perl and a large number of important perl modules and tools. Module updates from CPAN are regularly checked (with scripts from https://github.com/openSUSE/cpanspec ) and put into https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:perl:autoupdate . Please check https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/devel:languages:perl:autoupdate first before doing your own update! An updated version of the module might already be there, just that there is no submit request yet. How to submit a new module here: https://github.com/openSUSE/cpanspec/wiki/Submit-a-new-Perl-module-to-openSUSE https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/perl/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ openSUSE:Tumbleweed Tumbleweed Tumbleweed is the openSUSE Rolling Release This OBS Project represents the content of the currently published snapshot.

Tumbleweed appeals to Power Users, Software Developers and openSUSE Contributors. If you require the latest software stacks and Integrated Development Environment or need a stable platform closest to bleeding edge Linux, Tumbleweed is the best choice for you. Staging dashboard is located at: https://build.opensuse.org/staging_workflows/openSUSE:Factory List of known devel projects: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/openSUSE:Factory:Staging/dashboard/devel_projects Have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Factory for more details. https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory/ports/ perl-Class-Data-Inheritable Inheritable, overridable class data Class::Data::Inheritable is for creating accessor/mutators to class data. That is, if you want to store something about your class as a whole (instead of about a single object). This data is then inherited by your subclasses and can be overridden. For example: Pere::Ubu->mk_classdata('Suitcase'); will generate the method Suitcase() in the class Pere::Ubu. This new method can be used to get and set a piece of class data. Pere::Ubu->Suitcase('Red'); $suitcase = Pere::Ubu->Suitcase; The interesting part happens when a class inherits from Pere::Ubu: package Raygun; use base qw(Pere::Ubu); $suitcase = Raygun->Suitcase; Raygun inherits its Suitcase class data from Pere::Ubu. Inheritance of class data works analogous to method inheritance. As long as Raygun does not "override" its inherited class data (by using Suitcase() to set a new value) it will continue to use whatever is set in Pere::Ubu and inherit further changes: Pere::Ubu->Suitcase('Blue'); However, should Raygun decide to set its own Suitcase() it has now "overridden" Pere::Ubu and is on its own, just like if it had overridden a method: Raygun->Suitcase('Orange'); Now that Raygun has overridden Pere::Ubu further changes by Pere::Ubu no longer effect Raygun. Pere::Ubu->Suitcase('Samsonite');
