When writing Perl, should you use this:
if (!unlink($file)) { $log_main->warn("Could not delete temp file '$file'"); }
or this?
$log_main->warn("Could not delete temp file '$file'") unless unlink($file);
The second one is shorter, and has extra-geek-points, but I say that "it depends".
In this case I settled on the first form because the important part, the important action, is the unlink() call. You should always put the important action first.
I just noticed that Apache 2.1 documentation is available in the usual place.
Some new features, the most interesting being mod_proxy_balance.
I'm still biased to Perlbal because of the internal redirection to a local file feature.
Today is my last day at the office. I'm moving to a new place, starting April 1st.
I'll be sort of on vacation for the next 3 weeks. The next week will still be documenting stuff (Kiwi has been really helpful, I must clean it up.) in text and audio (very useful).
I've been working here since March 97, 8 years ago, and after 10 years doing ISP stuff (real-time provisioning systems, offer management, and middle-ware stuff), I need a break.
At my new job, I'll be focusing in XMPP, server-side mostly. I'll also have a little bit of Identity stuff, and single sign-on.
More about this later, right now, clean up time.
