APM: October Meeting: Speaker Confirm--Last minute replacement

[Joe Cooper]

Sounds like a plan.

Since everyone is presumably a perl programmer (or learning to be), I 
figure we'll write a new Webmin module from scratch during the 
presentation.  This would lead naturally to an overview of the 
web-lib.pl library of functions, the architecture of Webmin, and 
hopefully bring a few new Webmin module developers into existence.  And, 
yes Virginia, it is possible to write a completely functional (and 
possibly even useful) Webmin module from scratch in an hour or so, 
including internationalization (translations not included), fine-grained 
access controls, event logging, and more.

I'm not a Perl guru, by any means, so I'm likely to learn as much as 
anyone else just by letting others point out the nicest way to solve the 
normal perl problems...but I do know how to whip a Webmin module into 
shape in no time and I'm happy to share that skill.

If folks would rather cover something else, let me know.  There's lots 
of interesting bits in Webmin...

Anyway, I'll look forward to meeting some local mongers.
