yapc-na-2012 - the-end

Sat Dec 22 00:30:00 2012

Slides for the talk the-end at yapc-na-2012

-

The __END__
of everything

-

freenode
#perl

-

"But I can't
use CPAN"

-

ARGH

-

Hate that
so much!

-

Urge to
__END__
them rising!

-

WHYYYYY

-

"I'm not
root"

-

Ok, well, here's
how you make
CPAN DTRT

-

... 20
minutes
later

-

ARGH

-

So I wrote
local::lib

-

So far
so good

-

"I need to
deploy a
single file"

-

ARGH

-

Ok, well, let's
try and make
PAR DTRT

-

... 20
minutes
later

-

ARGH

-

So I wrote
App::FatPacker

-

(and then
miyagawa++
used both in
cpanminus :)

-

So far
so good

-

-

"This script
needs to run
once on 200
machines."

-

"Fatpacking
is way too
much effort."

-

...

-

Fair ...
point ...

-

GODS
DAMNIT

-

Ok, well

-

*scrabbles
for plan B*

-

Hmm

-

__DATA__

-

__END__

-

Perl stops
parsing

-

Hmmmmmmm

-

perl -

-

STDIN
stays
open

-

Hmmmmmmm!

-

So ...
fatpacked
bootstrap

-

  open2(
    $stdin, $stdout,
    'ssh', $host,
    'perl', '-'
  );

-

  print $stdin $fatpacked;
  print $stdin "__END__\n";

-

What about
communications?

-

Lines of
JSON on
the wire

-

  JSON->new
            ->filter_json_single_key_object(
    __remote_object__ => sub {
      $self->_id_to_remote_object(@_);
    }
  )

-

Proxy object
with AUTOLOAD

-

  $self->{remote}->call(
    $method => @_
  );

-

Ohshi-

-

What about
modules I
didn't fatpack?

-

Hmm.

-

Wait.

-

Fatpacker
uses a
coderef
in @INC

-

Hmmmmmm.

-

Well there's no
reason I have to
use just ONE ...

-

... or even
an object!

-

  sub ModuleLoader::Hook::INC {
    my ($self, $module) = @_;
    my $code = $self->sender
                               ->source_for($module);
    open my $fh, '<', \$code;
    return $fh;
  }

-

  $self->sender ?

-

That
bit's
easy!

-

  $conn->new_remote(
    class => 'ModuleSender'
  );

-

... which gets
it from the
source host

-

  first { -f $_ }
    map catfile($_, $pm_file),
      grep !/$Config{archname}$/,
        @INC;

-

And to add a
little sugar ...

-

  sub new::on {
    my ($class, $on, $args) = @_;
    __PACKAGE->connect($on)
                         ->new_remote(
                 class => $class,
                 args => \@args
               );
  }

-

Ok, great.

-

... OOOOH

-

Eval::WithLexicals

-

PURE PERL
EVAL CAGE

-

  my $eval = Eval::WithLexicals->new::on(
    'user@host',
    #
  );

-

  my $eval = Eval::WithLexicals->new::on(
    'user@host', # sshes in and starts up
    #
  );

-

  my $eval = Eval::WithLexicals->new::on(
    'user@host', # sshes in and starts up
    # or just 'host' or 'user@' to sudo
  );

-

  $eval->eval($code);

-

  $eval->eval('my $x = 1;'); # 1
  $eval->eval('++$x'); # 2

-

  My::Shiny::Class->new::on(
    $conn, { ... }
  );

-

  $conn->get_remote_sub(
    'Sys::Hostname::hostname'
  )->();

-

Think you
STILL can't
use CPAN?

-

I SAY YOU
CAN, YOU CAN
USE CPAN,
TIM I AM

-

Object::Remote
will ship
next week

-

Just please
let's not
mention win32!

-

... or
microperl on
Nintendo DS

-
