I am slowly getting some of my old article's back up and online. You will start to see them in the links under pages on the sidebar. As I determine they are useful or helpful I will put them back up. The first is Perl and CGI part I I really should do part II of that one I suppose :-)

So work has bought me the perl deployment kit from ActiveState. It allows me to compile perl scripts into executables. I think it builds on the experimental perlcc and family of utilities. All I can say is wow is that cool or what. It allows me take perl scripts I design to make administration tasks easier and turn them into executables for use elsewhere without installing perl on the target computer. I can make system tray applications, system services, and standalone executables. I am going to have a lot of fun with this.

My first release of BrickLayer. is ready. I'm still writing some of the documentation, but I couldn't resist giving you a peek. You can get it here: BrickLayer And here is the documentation I have written so far: Using BrickLayer BrickLayer Templating BrickLayer Plugin Development The BrickLayer DB Interface documentation is in progress.

I just finished the first draft of the Bricklayer development manual. You can see it here: Bricklayer Manual Take a look and tell me if you see any thing that might need more clarification or spelling correction.

Bricklayer RC2 Download it while it's hot. I have added a number of bugfixes and enhancements. But it's still in testing so don't plan on using this in a production environment yet :-)
