Interactive Perl shell - REPL (Read–Eval–Print Loop) with Devel::REPL

Install and run

sudo apt install libdevel-repl-perl
re.pl

Usage example

use Number::Format;
my $format = new Number::Format(-decimal_point => '.');
# $Number_Format1 = Number::Format=HASH(0x39cbf00);
$format->unformat_number("12345,89");
# 12345.89

# Caveat: don't use print if you want to see the value, otherwise you will get some kind of return value of print
$ print $format->unformat_number("12345,89");
# 1

Trigger the installer, reset from populated DB

koha-testing-docker has an autopopulated DB

echo "DROP DATABASE koha_kohadev; CREATE DATABASE koha_kohadev;" | koha-mysql kohadev
restart_all

Install translations

update dababase

~/src/installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl

Reset DB with dump

If you don't have a devbox. Using BibLibre's tools (https://git.biblibre.com/biblibre/tools)

# memcached is flushed because if you switched to another version of the code, the old version will be in cache and the updatedatabase won't run

echo "flush_all" | nc -q 2 localhost 11211 && \
~/tools/sysop/db_replace.sh --confirm --dump ~/dumps/koha-sample.sql.gz  && \
~/src/installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl  && \
~/tools/zebra/rebuild_full.sh -b -a

SELECT surname, firstname, branchcode, categorycode
  FROM
    (

    ) a,
    (
