[2004-07-26 22:13] < apeiron> jay__: Well, you're more likely to get an answer in the appropriate channel. :)
[2004-07-26 22:14]  * apeiron mutters something about DAV being too restrictive to be useful.
[2004-07-26 22:14] < jay__> i thought perl people would know most everything. =)
[2004-07-26 22:14] < apeiron> Ha. Flattering, but no. :)
[2004-07-26 22:14]  * Yaakov mutters something about repeating the duck joke for newcomers.
[2004-07-26 22:15] < Yaakov> I know most everything.
[2004-07-26 22:15] -!- theCynic [1000@theseus.csse.monash.edu.au] has joined #perl
[2004-07-26 22:15]  * apeiron sews his jaw shut in order to hold his tongue.
[2004-07-26 22:15] < Yaakov> But, as it turns out, one of the few things I don't know is docbook schema.
[2004-07-26 22:15] < jay__> i'm using perl to parse doxygen style C++ comment in header files and to generate docbook xml for API documentation.
[2004-07-26 22:15] < apeiron> jay__: Okay, *now* you're talking. :)
[2004-07-26 22:17] < x86> apeiron++ # for giving me kudos earlier :P
[2004-07-26 22:17] < Yaakov> I know so much it makes apeiron terribly jealous.
[2004-07-26 22:17] < Yaakov> But, I can't blame him.
[2004-07-26 22:17]  * apeiron growls at Yaakov.
[2004-07-26 22:17] < Yaakov> It IS a bit overwhelming.
[2004-07-26 22:17]  * x86 bets Yaakov upside the head with a cluebat
[2004-07-26 22:17] < x86> beats too
[2004-07-26 22:18] < Yaakov> I think apeiron is a neat kid.
[2004-07-26 22:18] < apeiron> Yaakov: I would've thought that your people would have stopped with your "Chosen People" nonsense.
[2004-07-26 22:18] < jay__> i'm only looking to document functions and not anything more that doxygen allows.  i don't have enough time to write a full-flegded doxygen commenting -> docbook converted.  i'm done with half the battle but docbook xsl looks like it'll be a real beast.
[2004-07-26 22:18] < apeiron> Yaakov: But apparently your arrogance is larger than that.
[2004-07-26 22:18] < buu> I think apeiron is a cute kid.
[2004-07-26 22:19] < theCynic> hello. am trying to install a module i need like this :  perl -MCPAN -e "install XML::Parser::PerlSAX" but i am having some trouble. if anyone has a few moments to spare i can try to post the results of the command via the website in the topic. thanks.
[2004-07-26 22:19] < Yaakov> apeiron: knowing things in halves it dangerous.
[2004-07-26 22:19] < x86> no i'm a cute kid..... dammit!
[2004-07-26 22:19] < x86> pj34r my cuteness... and whatnot ;)
[2004-07-26 22:19] < buu> theCynic: quote the arguement to install
[2004-07-26 22:19] < apeiron> Yaakov: Oh, then enlighten me, oh Great One!
[2004-07-26 22:19] < buu> apeiron: He just did.
[2004-07-26 22:19] < apeiron> Verily, like a snowball unto hell.
[2004-07-26 22:19] < buu> -e'install "Module"'
[2004-07-26 22:20] < theCynic> buu: OK let me try it that way
[2004-07-26 22:20] < buu> other wise try shell
[2004-07-26 22:20] < theCynic> buu: had no better luck with shell
[2004-07-26 22:20] < theCynic> buu: just a min, trying your quoted thing
[2004-07-26 22:20] -!- apeiron [apeiron@pcp08490587pcs.levtwn01.pa.comcast.net] has quit ["leaving"]
[2004-07-26 22:21] < buu> Well if the shell doesn't work, quoting it won't make much difference
[2004-07-26 22:21] < theCynic> buu: no luck with shell/quotes
[2004-07-26 22:21] < theCynic> buu: would it help to see the errors i get?
[2004-07-26 22:22] < Yaakov> apeiron: http://hydrogen.netlab.com/unskilled.pdf  # fascinating and possibly applicable
[2004-07-26 22:23] < Yaakov> buu: old jokes aren't inherently bad.  Many people don't know them, and they may well be funny.
[2004-07-26 22:24] < Yaakov> Oh, apeiron left.
[2004-07-26 22:24] < Yaakov> Oh well.
[2004-07-26 22:24] < Yaakov> He is mean anyway.
[2004-07-26 22:24] < Yaakov> He tried to hurt my feelings.
[2004-07-26 22:25] < Yaakov> I wish beth was here...
