One of the languages I have not really explored. Not even sure its syntactical shape.

Thanks for the reply. I find a back ground in pascal, Delphi, and java. I found it was not so different than pascal though because of Delphi I did not see that level of code that much. My Perl is more using other peoples code for the really though stuff CPAN is a great resource. Good community around it to.

Just took a look through the syntax and some examples. Has a sort of PHP feel with the $ symbols mixed in with C style {}

Is it compiled or scripted as feels like it wants to be scripting language?

Definitely one of the languages going out of favor now though I think but am sure there will be a mounting of the stuff out there running

It is scripted. would not agree that it is going out of favour with web developers. especially those concerned with security. The community is growing as new users discover its power. Over PHP The code I use for my sites is based on code developed for Barklies bank to run their atms and websites.

It is more like java than PHP for modularity and cross platform. The code runs only on the server so it is not dependent on browser incompatibility like PHP Java and Java Script. My code runs the same on a cell phone or a desktop. Only the small amount of java script I use for some menus. are an issue There are wherever security is an issue.

The main problem is the editors. They are all just syntaxual. I like the way Java editors will take you to the called module. I have to search though the code modules to find the called code. Kate is the best so far Eclipse works to a point but is not setup well for Perl. Would be nice to have the ability of Delphi to connect to databases with integrity.

It also has a rpi module and Adriano modules at cpan. Allowing one to integrate easily to IOT. No need to go to python or C.

As for $ {} I would think PHP got it from Perl. Maybe even C pick up things from Perl. Perl has been around for decades. In the early days it lost some favour because it is script rather than compiled so it was slower but now that is a minor issue.

Found this randomly searching for Perl Steem integration. Found one write-your-own module which looks great, then was wondering if anybody had taken that and wrapped it up so one could install it with "cpan".

Also, for an IDE (integrated development environment), I use ActiveState's Komodo. You do have to pay for it, although there's an editor-only version that's free which I think will also do what you're asking for (go into the module you're calling). I really like the ability to step through the code and set breakpoints, and be able to see all the values of the variables, etc. More robust than the Perl debugger. And I never really managed to get Eclipse working right, back when I was at work, so I chose the commercial version -- and am now more familiar with it. Hope this helps! :)

hi,

you have been hered ;) i made the initial client into a cpan module:

here is the article

and here the cpan package Steemit::WsClient

best regards
