Congratulations.
Well done matey...
Another one under your belt...

It is really nice to be recognised and I thank all who have recognised our input.

From experience take one piece of advice mate. Take your projects and learning one step at a time.
(I have done lots of projects for differing platforms and many are here on this site, mainly for OSX. Also proper apps, biased towards measuring/test gear.)

Initially what you intend to do seems quick and easy and version changes are slick and fast, until, you start adding subtleties, features and upgrades.
After a longish period one gets feature creep and application fatigue sets in...
An OS is always your biggest obstacle - Apple have done me NO favours from version 10.7.1 to current... The amount of times I have had to change
the Applescript inside AudioScope is unreal. If you are unlucky like me then minor alterations to the OS can cause headaches when your code breaks.
Dependencies are your next biggest bugbear. 'xterm' was near de-facto in 2012 in just about every consumer *NIX-like install; NOT any more.
A vrigin OSX 10.7.x to present comes with Python 2.7.x AND scipy, scipy.io, numpy and etc as part of its install; it does NOT have sox.
Many Linux flavours OTOH has sox but NOT scipy and scipy.io.
CygWin didn't have hexdump, bc or dc a couple of years ago, dunno about today...
So what starts a a functional item ends up with feature creep, OS headaches and finally application fatigue...

One HAS to take one's mind off of one's main project and do smaller things until the mental urge sets that compassion again to go back to the main project.

You are one eager and compassionate guy and do hope for your sake that you don't lose that compassion because it's guys like you that come out with brilliant
ideas that produce the next step in our evolution, physical, mental, practical and technical...

And finally again, superb and well done you deserve it and I am glad to be a witness of it...

Bazza...

Web::Scraper::Filter(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Web::Scraper::Filter(3pm)

NAME
Web::Scraper::Filter - Base class for Web::Scraper filters SYNOPSIS
package Web::Scraper::Filter::YAML; use base qw( Web::Scraper::Filter ); use YAML (); sub filter { my($self, $value) = @_; YAML::Load($value); } 1; use Web::Scraper; my $scraper = scraper { process ".yaml-code", data => [ 'TEXT', 'YAML' ]; }; DESCRIPTION
Web::Scraper::Filter is a base class for text filters in Web::Scraper. You can create your own text filter by subclassing this module. There are two ways to create and use your custom filter. If you name your filter Web::Scraper::Filter::Something, you just call: process $exp, $key => [ 'TEXT', 'Something' ]; If you declare your filter under your own namespace, like 'MyApp::Filter::Foo', process $exp, $key => [ 'TEXT', '+MyApp::Filter::Foo' ]; You can also inline your filter function without creating a filter class: process $exp, $key => [ 'TEXT', sub { s/foo/bar/ } ]; Note that this function munges $_ and returns the count of replacement. Filter code special cases if the return value of the callback is number and $_ value is updated. You can, of course, stack filters like: process $exp, $key => [ '@href', 'Foo', '+MyApp::Filter::Bar', &baz ]; AUTHOR
