Screen, SecureCRT, UTF-8 and FreeBSD
Finally I got my environment on FreeBSD UTF-8-lized.
Note on SecureCRT: set Character encoding to “UTF-8″
Note on Screen: set following command in .screenrc
defutf8 on
defc1 off
defencoding utf8
defc1 off
defencoding utf8
bind b encoding big5 utf8
bind u encoding utf8 utf8
Note on Screen with 256 color:
% cd /usr/ports/sysutils/screen
% make config # XTERM_256 Enable support for 256 colour xterm
% make deinstall reinstall clean
% make config # XTERM_256 Enable support for 256 colour xterm
% make deinstall reinstall clean
And set following command in .screenrc
term xterm
termcapinfo xterm ‘Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm’
attrcolor b “.I”
attrcolor i “+b”
defbce on
termcapinfo xterm ‘Co#256:AB=\E[48;5;%dm:AF=\E[38;5;%dm’
attrcolor b “.I”
attrcolor i “+b”
defbce on
And re-start the screen (not just re-attach it)
Perl 5.10.0 is released
Perl 5.10.0 is available here. Also with the torrent file.
You might want to see What’s new for perl 5.10.0, for me, the most important thing is Named Capture Buffers(1) 
And here are some things about performance:
- In-place sorting: Sorting arrays in place (@a = sort @a) is now optimized….
- Lexical array access: faster
- Weak references are cheaper: Weak reference creation is now O(1) rather than O(n), deletion remains O(n)….
- sort() enhancements: faster and memory usage reduced
- Regular expressions optimisations
And known problem(s), maybe solved in future (5.12):
- UTF-8 problems: The handling of Unicode still is unclean in several places, where it’s dependent on whether a string is internally flagged as UTF-8
Also bundled with some new modules, such asCPANPLUS and encoding::warnings 
Let’s wait and see when it will in ports.
Notes: the discussion thread is here. Thanks to Rafaël Garcia-Suarez
- Just like most recent programming languages do (e.g. C# .Net) [back]
Ports tree is thawed
As Erwin (on behalf of portmgr) said, ports tree is now unfreezed (except sweeping changes).
Interest thing is:
Note that the first committer to break INDEX will owe all portmgrs a beer at the next BSD conference, and a carton of beer if it’s within the next 24 hours.
*wink*
Updated (how fast :p): INDEX build failed for 5.x
It’s unfair when portmgr breaks it first!

升級到 7.0-PRERELEASE
從 6.2 升上來其實挺無痛的，比較要注意的是 default thread library 從 libpthread 換成 libthr ，所以要記得重編一些 ports （簡單的方式就是把 /lib/libpthread.so.2 砍掉，然後會叫的 ports 就是要重練的）。其實去 ls /lib 下可以看到有些過期的，應該也要一併移除，減少 ldconfig 的負擔啊！就像我現在的體脂肪一樣，有些其實跟我沒關係了、可以丟掉了，可是就死賴著不走，我有什麼辦法呢？
就這樣囉，另一台 7.0-CURRENT 的不知道該留在 7.0 還是 8.0-CURRENT（HEAD）好，先觀望一下。
[perl] Jifty-0.70824 released
In short words, Jifty is great for Web development!!!!
