The Perl Language Reference Manual (for Perl version 5.12.1)

The problem is that Catalyst::Engine::HTTP::Restarter within Catalyst::Engine was replaced by Catalyst::Restarter within the Catalyst::Devel package. How to fix your application to use the updated development web server? Very easy. Rerun catalyst.pl with the “-scripts”, to rebuild just the scripts in the script directory, and “-force” to overwrite any files therein:

If you’re interested in learning the Catalyst Web Framework (Perl based), I highly recommend The Definitive Guide to Catalyst: Writing Extensible, Scalable and Maintainable Perl–Based Web Applications.

Foundations of Qt® Development (Expert’s Voice in Open Source) is well written. He assumes that you have a little bit of C++ knowledge, avoiding into the trap that so many other authors do. You wouldn’t believe how many technical books I have where the first half or more of the book is simply a rehash of the basics. Forget that!

What I really like is that when he shows you an example of code, he explains why you would want to write it this way and how it differs from the Standard Template Language (STL – see C++ Programming Language, The (3rd Edition)). Where there are performance gains or penalties of using Qt instead of STL, he demonstrates it.

I never realized just how easy it is to write C++ using the Qt framework! Just the Signals and Slots alone make it very very powerful and that’s just the beginning. I’m completely blown away
