CPAN code search

I've just released a perl plugin for gonzui, a source code search engine (open source koders.com) and made a commit to SF.net CVS.

With support for Perl, now I've mirrored mini-cpan on my server and run a gonzui server instance for CPAN code search. You can search source code from 10000+ CPAN contributed perl modules!

I used PPI to tokenize perl code (Thanks to Autrijus) and my code based on PPI::Tokenizer is not functinal enough, so as it doesn't support function definition and method calls (They're just recognized as "words"). Anybody can volunteer on this, as it's open-source stuff.

PPI _should_ be able to do what you want in regards to function/method testing.

You should consider contributing your code back to PPI, so it can be integrated in properly.

Hi Adam,

Newer version of the perl plugin supports function definition and method calls in a very ad-hoc way. See the newest version in CVS and give me your feedback, thanks.

OpenSearch by A9 Link: A9.com > OpenSearch. A9 has launched a new smart RSS based technology: OpenSearch. Think of it as a XML format to define search query with search results as RSS. It allows users to aggregate search results by switching the search engine. On A9 site you can customize your columns by choosing your favorite search engines compatible to Opensearch. If you're a hacker (or remixer in Etech terminology), now you're free from customizing the search API query parser and you can launch or incorpolate OpenSearch platform (Aggregator) into your site. If you're a search engine developer, you will have a chance to make your search result as part of A9 search by submitting via form. I've already submitted Bulkfeeds after...

Ajax with frameworks Perl MVC framework Catalyst is now with Ajax plugin, as well as Ruby On Rails. Ajax logic is not something that can be generalized, but building XmlHttpRequest and parsing the responseText is boring shit. So it sounds reasonable that these frameworks have a native (or plugin) support for Ajax tags.
