We had about 20 people at last week's tech meeting.
Uri Guttman gave a presentation on writing plug-ins in Perl. (The DBD modules for DBI are a well-known example.) He described various approaches, and showed a simple implementation of an encode/decode plug-in from his Stem project. Jerrad Pierce recruited people for this year's Perl Advent calendar. See his recent post, and the ensuing discussion, for more info. Finally, Kenneth Graves followed up to his presentation from last month, with a script that solves a puzzle of putting unique 3-digit perfect squares (100, 121, etc.) into a crossword-style grid. This time the brute force approach was sufficient. :) Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, December 12. Uri has suggested a meeting about spam. Do you use Perl to deal with spam? Let me know if you'd like to talk at next month's meeting!
