Yet Another Movie Module
I’ve released WWW::Yahoo::Movies which is a Perl extension to the Yahoo! Movies. I found many Perl modules related with Yahoo! and I decided to create another one which can help people to get information about movies. WWW::Yahoo::Movies has basic functionality. It can retrieve movie information (title, prodaction date, distributor name, plot summary, cover image file address etc) by its title or Yahoo! Movies ID. I’m […]

Now we can compare it with MS […]

Yet Another DBI Extention
Recently I’ve found a simple DBI wrapper – DBIx::DWIW – Do What I Want. It seems this module contains a set of methods which have more native syntax and original features. There are a couple methods which I have seen and found interesting: FlatArray(sql_string) – passes a SQL string and returns a record set as simple flat array. It’s very useful for example if a […]
Playing with MYSQL replication
One of my colleagues left to vacation. Now I have to work with his stuff. I found one of the hardest task is replication of two MYSQL servers. They work both as master and as slave. So, everytime I have to check their statuses to know replication is alive or not. Unfortunatelly, I haven’t faced with MYSQL replication before. That’s why it was novelty for […]
