WTFish side of using Perl talk at YAPC::EU 2009 – slides

Wednesday 26 August 2009 @ 6:52 am

I did my talk about WTF in Perl at YAPC::EU 2009 at Monday, August 3rd. It was a bit stresfull experience for me. Especially that my laptop did not want to show presentation on the projector. I turned out that I do not know my own laptop. Right, I use it rarely. Hopefully presentation was not bad, I received some positive feedback. People were clapping too. Nice One person asked me for slides. So here they are:

Feedback about my talk is appreciated, use comment field below

Another WTF related to regex delimiters: m?foo? has special behavior (http://perldoc.perl.org/perlop.html#?PATTERN?).

Also, &my_subroutine() bypasses prototype checking, so

sub foo ($) {
print “@_\n”;
}

foo(1, 2); #error, one one parameter allowed

&foo(1, 2); #not an error

Of course, that brings up prototypes which are full of WTF. Examine

my @a = qw/ a b c /;
foo(@a); #not an error, 3 is passed to foo
