    Perl get errno numbers of the system in a similar way[0]: preprocess errno.h with `$CC -E` and recursively scan all files in # markers for macro defines. The configure script even checks the existence of several system headers this way, so if your C compiler don't support # markers in -E output, you get missing includes everywhere.

    The next event will be in 3 days about GitHub Pages for Perl developers. We will start creating a simple static site using just Markdown and no Perl. Then we'll see a few examples how to build web sites on Github pages using Perl. Among the examples we'll see how the web site of the Perl Weekly and The Perl Planetarium are generated. We'll also take a look at some other sites, such as Kantoniko, the Ladino (aka. Judaeo Spanish) dictionary I have been working on. It is using Python, but the same concept could have been implemented in Perl as well. Join us live, ask questions, and get started immediately!
