The topic will be Perl 5.10 which is a major release of Perl function implemented at a point release. If you've been following the 8 years it has taken to implement Perl 6 by Christmas of 2000, you know that this is a huge enhancement to the language. Location is to be determined. Does anyone have a computer projector that we can use for the meeting? Also, is it time to order shirts again? -- Mark Lehmann 512 689-7705 M -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
