mlbright/darksky-api

perl wrapper for darksky.net

👋 Hi there! I'm Martin-Louis Bright and I am a software engineer living in Toronto, Canada. 👨‍💻

I'm currently working at cPacket Networks, where I operate mainly in Azure and AWS.

Prior to that, I was a GitHub Enterprise site administrator at Autodesk.

I love automating things, configuring services, and developing software that helps people and organizations.

I have shipped Python, Bash, Go, and Perl code to production.

I have also tinkered with Rust, Ruby, Typescript, and Zig.

My career long pledge to avoid programming languages prefixed with 'Java' has probably limited my opportunities.

I am at home and happy with Linux systems (my favorite distro is Ubuntu) and MacOS, my public cloud of choice is AWS (but I also like Azure).

I happily write SQL.

I think infrastructure as code and Gitops are great and I embraced devops culture even before it had a name.

I enthusiastically use tmux, SSH, Tailscale, and Wireshark.

I have over 20 years of experience in information technology.

Everything needs renamed apparently.

cpan/cpanm fail during build - test looking for API key

Hi,

cpan/cpanm builds fail due to a test condition expecting an API key during build.

Would it be possible to eliminate/change the condition, or reach out to darksky to get a "demo" key which will still allow for a single "fake" test?
