The Perl Advent Calendar is finally done and dusted for another year (apart from the typo corrections - there are always typo corrections.) Which is lucky, since I committed the last submission just two days before Christmas Eve.
Let’s look at some statistics shall we?
The advent calendar is a team effort:
- Total articles: 25 (24 articles + xmas day)
- Articles written by people than me: 13
- Total number of authors (including me): 13
- Number of Pull Requests For Typos (so far): 8
It’s big:
- Total number of lines: 5,318
- Total number of words: 27,323
- Total number of graphics: 7 (including two animated gifs)
- Longest article: Christmas Eve’s Article (an epic 745 lines)
- Perl examples: 159
It’s Perl:
- References to Perl: 171
- References to Moo/Moose: 38
- References to PHP: 2 (in the example about finding and deleting all the php code)
It’s fun
- References to Santa: 38
- References to Elves: 44
So, maybe now I’m not writing 2,575 lines (12,310 words) into the advent calendar (and copy editing and adding content to the other articles) I can finally get back on the Perl Ironman bandwagon in time for new year? Jarvis, load my blog editor...
