Global symbol "$opt_L" requires explicit package name at build/create_mgmt_archive.pl line 94.
15:58
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
What does that mean?
15:58
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
I do:
15:58
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
use Getopt::Std;
15:58
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
getopts('L')
15:58
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
And then, a while later:
15:58
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
if ($opt_L) { ...stuff... }
15:59
<@TheWatcher>
Do you have use strict on?
15:59
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
Yes.
15:59
<@TheWatcher>
you'll need to declare
15:59
<@TheWatcher>
our $opt_L

16:02
<@TheWatcher>
Excellent.
16:03
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
In unrelated, but awesome, news, I have finished a gtk-server module for Lua that supports the fifo interface, and is capable of automatically binding Glade events.
16:03
<@TheWatcher>
Oooh, nice!
16:04
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
The Glade binding function is as long as the rest of the module combined. Goddamn XML.

I wish I'd known about gtk-server when I was writing that postscript-based IRC client, though >.>
16:27 You're now known as TheWatcher
16:37
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
Hmm. API design question.
16:38
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
gtk-server comes with two functions, server_glade_file and server_glade_string, for loading Glade XML files.
16:38
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
I have a function that takes such a file after it's been loaded and automatically connects all the signals in it.
16:39
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
Should this (a) happen automatically as part of server_glade_*, (b) be a seperate function that also calls server_glade_*, or (c) be a seperate function that must be called after server_glade_*?
16:39
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
I'm leaning towards (c).
16:39
< ToxicFrog|W`rkn>
As that lets you load the file, do stuff, then generate the widget tree and signal connections.

Yep. You can install it (apt-get install ncompress) but it's not installed by default.

So, my Ruby Cookbook does not have an entry on how to get the intersection or union of two arrays.
21:55
<@Chalain>
I thought this was standard fodder for any cookbook.
21:56
<@Chalain>
Then I discovered that the recipes are, respectively, "intersect = a & b" and "union = a | b".
21:56
<@Chalain>
They need a cookbook of things that aren't in the cookbook because they're too simple.

A simple bash calculator, for people trapped on rescue CDs with neither gs nor its inferior cousin bc:
23:38
<@ToxicFrog>
while true; do read exp || break; eval "echo \$(($exp))"; done
23:38
<@Vornicus>
Cool.
23:39
<@ToxicFrog>
Even supports assignments; echo $((foo=1)) is equivalent to foo=1; echo $foo
23:39
<@ToxicFrog>
Which I was not expecting, but came in handy.
