Today, I ...
Poor mailing lists, they're probably getting sick of me. I keep asking basic questions. I do try to check list archives and other documentation before I ask for help, but sometimes I can't find the answer because nobody else had to ask these questions. The problem is that I don't always know, when I have a problem, if it's a problem with DBIx, or with Catalyst, or with Perl, or (in today's case) with Template Toolkit. I learned all of these almost at the same time, so I'm not always sure where one stops and the other begins. Catalyst is built on Perl. DBIx is a Perl module that you can use in Catalyst. Template Toolkit is something else that you can use in Catalyst, and it has its own syntax. At least folks are kind enough to point me to documentation, since I don't know where all of that is, either. But I'm learning. I feel like a bit of a leech sometimes. Most of the questions that go through the lists are way over my head, so I never contribute anything; I ask for help, but I don't give it. I did, though, make my first attempt at offering help on the DBIx list today. Hopefully that will show that I'm not trying to be lazy or make other people do my work for me. A couple of interesting things I learned today:
Tomorrow, I'll continue looking at putting loops into dbixdemo to further automate it, now that I know how to pass arrays. |
