I just released version 1.00 of HTML::Table::FromDatabase, with a new row_callbacks feature.

You could already declare callbacks on a cell-level basis, so you could say, format monetary values appropriately, round numeric columns, turn URLs into clickable links etc. Now, you can also declare a callback which receives an entire row as a hashref, which it can modify as needed.

An (admittedly somewhat contrived) example from the documentation:

my $table = HTML::Table::FromDatabase->new(
    -sth => $sth,
    -row_callbacks => [
        sub {
            my $row = shift;                                                                                 
            if ($row->{name} eq 'Bob') {
                # Hide this row
                $row = undef;
            } elsif ($row->{name} eq 'John') {
                # John likes to be called Jean these days:
                $row->{name} = 'Jean';
            }
        },   
    ],       
);

I decided to bump the version to 1.00 for the sake of anyone who considers 0.x versions to be unready for production use; this module has been about since 2008 and is working well in production use for me.

We have an IRC bot in the #dancer IRC channel powered by Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable, and I recently wrote some new features as a distribution of modules which I plan to release to CPAN soon.

Until then, you can see the code in the Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::GitHub repository on GitHub.

There are two modules so far:

EasyLinks

Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::GitHub::EasyLinks recognises certain elements within discussions on IRC and provides responses containing titles/URLs to see the corresponding entity, for instance:

<someuser> I'm just working on Issue 42 now
<bot> Issue 42 (Issue Title - Issues - sukria/Dancer - GitHub) - https://github.com/user/project/issues/42

<someuser> I've just submitted PR 517, anyone want to merge it?
<bot> Pull request 517 (Pull request title - Pull Request - GitHub) - https://github.com/user/project/pull/517

<someuser> What do you think of commit 0d2752 then?
<bot> Commit 0d2752 (Commit message summary here) - https://github.com/user/project/commit/0d2752...

PullRequests

Responds to a !pr command, reporting the number of open pull requests, either for whatever project is specified as the default for that channel, or a specific project can be named. For instance:

<someuser> !pr user/project
<bot> Open pull requests for user/project : 5 pull requests open (usera:3, userb:2)

I plan to add more features before releasing the first version to CPAN; in particular, I’d like to add commit hook support, so the module could spawn a trivial webserver to listen for hook triggers from GitHub, and announce commits.

As always, contributions would be welcomed.
