I'm delighted this month to say we'll have a 
special presentation on XDB, a commercial,
DB2-compliant, industrial-strength RDBMS from 
the fine folks at Merant(http://www.merant.com).  
What relevance does 
this have with the Perl Programming language
you ask?  Well, to start, Merant has written perl DBI
drivers to allow all of us Perl Database wizards
to quickly and easily port our scripts from our 
current favorite database to use XDB instead.
Now, why would anyone want to do such a thing?
Good question.  I think the people at Merant are 
currently working on a great answer (Hint:  It 
has something to do with open-source!)

I saw their presentation last month at the Baltimore 
Linux UG's meeting, and I assure you, if your work involves
database(s) you won't be disappointed.  Even if you
you're asking yourself "What's DBI?", come and
find out for yourself.

I'll have books to handout, and as always our fine sponsor
(Community of Science) will provide cans of soda!

If you've never attended a meeting, we'd like to meet you!
Directions can be found at http://www.cos.com/contact/directions.shtml

Look forward to seeing you there...
