We'll also have a meeting the following month on RJK> October 11. :) i have a bunch of review books and a piece of oscon schwag to give out: perl best practices by the inimitable damian conway. a must have book! so offer to write a review and it could be yours! also in the rumor mill, damian is working on landing a training gig here in the fall. so if he does, i am sure he will be glad to scramble our collective neurons again. more on that if/when it happens. learning perl, 4th edition by our regular visitor randal schwartz, tom phoenix and brian foy. the venerable entry level book updated for perl 5.8. perl template toolkit. this covers the popular template library and seems to be pretty good. maybe i will give a short talk about my tiny templater. 3 subs, about 50 lines of code and i bet it does enough for about 90% of all template projects out there. :). mastering regular expressions, 2nd edition by jeffrey friedl. updated to all the latest regex features and it covers more langs and tools that use them. perl testing - a developer's notebook. written by some moron named ian langworth and a doofus named chromatic. this is a useless waste of dead trees as i never need to test my code as it always works. but someone out there may want to use it for kindling or propping up a cockeyed litter box. (hi ian!! :). and the top prize is a genuine oscon knapsack. unused except to carry the pile of junk and literature they gave to attendees. i don't know yet how i will choose the winner of this rare item. i will think of something suitably tricky and interesting. i look forward to our new meeting space at the institute. oh, you already had the first meeting without me? and after i arranged it all! well, then i won't be bringing all this schwag for you ungrateful wretches! or maybe i will. depends on my mood so write back and say nice things to me. :) and if you are (un)lucky, i will show some slides of my belly dancing and larry wall putting a dollar in my pants! i do seem to have the knack for being at the best events at conferences. :) your perl guru and nutcase, uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------- http://www.stemsystems.com --Perl Consulting, Stem Development, Systems Architecture, Design and Coding- Search or Offer Perl Jobs ---------------------------- http://jobs.perl.org _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
