A meeting sounds good, and generally anything Perl/GNU/Linux sounds interesting to me. These are a few topics that extra-interest me lately: - Anything kernel :) - TDD and Perl - Security in Perl and good security habits in general - Perl 6 and Perl 6 development (pugs, parrot, whatnot) - Writing for scability when "Perling" (a term I'm coining as of this moment - it means "Perl coding") - Any interesting module in CPAN (e.g. IO::All) - like the Config::* lecture - that was great - Personal Perling habits (or "my PerlBestPractices;")* - Perlbal anyone?
Extra suggestions: - REST in Perl - AJAX in Perl - Interfaces in Perl: GTK, QT, Tk, Curses [*] actually, this seems like a really nice idea. We can each talk about what practices we have that we think keeps our code clean, efficient or whatever. Anything beyond "use strict and use warnings". Maybe even in specific applications like "in Template Toolkit, I always allow a debugging macro".
