Hey, I'm bored. I'm guessing there's not a lot of people on the ML who this applies to, but I figured, "Hey, if they're having a python *conference* here, maybe theres enough of us Perl users to get into our own thing like". ( I also note its sponsored by catalyst.net.nz, who seem to have /some/ Perl leanings, esp w/ wellington pm )
There's wellington and auckland .pm groups, but eh, they're on the other island. I've been toting a Little-Brittain esque "I'm the only Perl user in my village" line on the various IRC networks for a while now, and I figure it a good time to see if that claim is a valid one. http://search.cpan.org/~kentnl/ # This is me, and I'm "kentnl" on MAGnet/ irc.perl.org , and "kent\n" on freenode. Any of you out there I'd love to hear about so I can stop feeling like such an alien :) ( I seriously googled, and I came up bare handed, ) For the rest of you, especially of you programmingngy inclined, if you ain't checked out Perl yet, or even haven't doven into it recently, I humbly request you take a gander at - http://www.perl.org/books/beginning-perl/ # A free EBook/Set of PDFS - http://search.cpan.org/dist/Moose # The latest and greatest Object Oriented system for Perl - http://www.catalystframework.org/ # The Perl competition to Rails. - http://search.cpan.org/dist/MooseX-Declare # A much more powerful way to use Moose via creating new syntax for Perl in Perl. out/ -- Kent perl -e "print substr( \"edrgmaM SPA nocomil.i...@tfrken\", \$_ * 3, 3 ) for ( 9,8,0,7,1,6,5,4,3,2 );" http://kent-fredric.fox.geek.nz
