Tech Meeting June 13th. 7:00/7:30pm E51-376
New features, changes in Perl 5.26 Join us to see what's new in the latest Perl. Using slides prepared by brian d foy for an AmsterdamX.pm presentation, we'll go over the highlights of new features and changes in Perl 5.26, including the potential disruptive change of removing the current directory (.) from the @INC module search path. We'll supplement the slides with the official Perl Delta (change log) document, and other online sources where more depth is required. The talk will be an open discussion format, with Bill Ricker leading us through the slides, but plenty of opportunity for the audience to ask questions, or offer opinion, and in some cases we'll try some live demos of the new features.
