manage Task::Padre::Plugins with ORDB::CPANTS

To update a Task:: module is not so hard but trivial. you need find out the new version of existing modules, and those haven't added yet.
well, do it manually is not so Perl-ish. we have Perl, we should do it automatically by running a script.

it's pretty good we have ORDB::CPANTS from Alias.
1, we get all plugins by ORDB::CPANTS through used_by
2, split them into requires and feature.
3, get the META info through YAML::LoadURI
4, generate the main part of Makefile.PL and Plugins.pm

you can find the code here: http://svn.perlide.org/padre/trunk/Task-Padre-Plugins/auto_generate.pl

I know I can generate Makefile.PL and Plugins.pm directly, but it's good enough for now.

Enjoy.

Padre I18N translation

(updated on June 23, 2009)

from http://padre.perlide.org/wiki/TranslationIntro:

the first time:
* msginit -i messages.pot -o zh-cn.po -l zh_CN

later then message.pot get updated.
* msgmerge -o zh-cn.po.new zh-cn.po messages.pot
open the file, grep 'fuzzy'. and fix them

check the syntax
* msgfmt -c zh-cn.po

check the difference
* msgcmp zh-cn.po messages.pot

Thanks.

Padre committer

if you are following padre, you may find that I'm a committer now.

[fayland@alpha padre]$ svn log | perl -MData::Dumper -n -e'if (/^r\d+\s*\|\s*(\w+)\s*\|/) {$c{$1}++} END {print Dumper \%c}'
$VAR1 = {
'tsee' => 19,
'adamk' => 90,
'fayland' => 12,
'patspam' => 6,
'bricas' => 2,
'szabgab' => 538
};

mainly I'm contributing something like follows:
* Wx::Choice ->SetSelection(0);
* add test 82-plugin-manager.t and cleanup _load_plugin in PluginManager.pm
* highlight with PPI for Perl5
* remove "no output" in ack
* Limit the search_terms/replace_terms
* add main_files_pos to goto last pos for those left files.

some are trivial and some are important. I feel proud with those commit.

and I update the plugins list a lot. now I have 7 plugins for padre.
Padre-Plugin-AcmePlayCode-0.02 Acme::PlayCode Plugin for Padre
Padre-Plugin-CPAN-0.01 CPAN in Padre
Padre-Plugin-PluginHelper-0.02 make building Padre plugin easy
Padre-Plugin-TabAndSpace-0.05 convert between space and tab within Padre
Padre-Plugin-Validator-0.02 validate HTML/CSS in Padre
Padre-Plugin-ViewInBrowser-0.01 view selected doc in browser for Padre
Padre-Plugin-WordStats-0.02 Word stats for Padre

Padre-Plugin-PluginHelper is useful to develop a new plugin, it loads plugin from a local dir, and it can be reloaded after change.

so start to play with padre, and tell us what you think. :)

Thanks.

Padre::Plugin::WordStats and Padre::Plugin::Validator

writing Padre plugin is really easy and a lot fun.

I wrote another two today.
one is http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Padre::Plugin::WordStats - count how many words, lines, chars (with or without) spaces.
the other is http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Padre::Plugin::Validator - validate editing HTML/CSS in Padre

well, it may be not a big deal, but I'm using them in my daily life. so I like it.

start use padre and my plugins. :)

Thanks, Enjoy!

Padre::Plugin::TabAndSpace

Padre::Plugin::TabAndSpace is to convert tabs to spaces OR convert spaces to tabs.

start use padre and my plugin, enjoy.

Padre::Plugin::AcmePlayCode

Padre::Plugin::AcmePlayCode is nothing big deal. it's just a mixin of Padre and Acme::PlayCode.

now you can
* convert double to single
* exchange condition
etc. in Padre.

and I had submitted two patches to Padre developers.

Padre is nice, just start using it!

Thanks.

Padre

Padre is Perl Application Development and Refactoring Environment.

install Padre with Perl 5.10 with Win32 is a bit painful.
the ppm in wxperl http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository/ is fine with Perl 5.8 while broken with 5.10

while it would be OK if you follows the instruction in http://padre.perlide.org/wiki/Download
cpan> look Alien::wxWidgets
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ dmake
$ dmake test
$ dmake install
$ exit
cpan> look Wx
$ perl Makefile.PL
$ dmake
$ dmake test
$ dmake install
$ exit
cpan> install Padre

while install the Alien::wxWidgets it needs download wxWidgets-2.8.8.tar.gz from sourceforge. it's better to download it with your download tool instead of the Perl command.
it takes much more longer than what I thought. but finally it works.

Padre is good. it's pure Perl with Wx.
features:
- highlight for Perl
- open from last
- bookmark
- subs in right
and others. it's really good.

while it has bugs. like
- can open many instance of one file
- no highlight for HTML
and others.

OK, it's still worthing to try. and I'm reading the source code now to see if I can fix a bug or contribute a plugin.

Thanks.
