G'day All,

Announcing a Perl Mongers Meeting on the 3rd Oct, from 6pm in the
Jumbo Interactive Boardroom.

The location is:
        Level 1, 601 Coronation Drv,
        Toowong

In the tradition of using long departed landmarks, the building
(branded Vodafone) stands in the old Toowong Pool, halfway between
The Regatta and the RE, (or the Toowong train station, and Regatta
ferry stop.)  Map: http://osm.org/go/ueD0y47M4-

Jumbo Interactive are again providing refreshments.


For this meeting we have one confirmed speaker, and an available
slot.

Fraser Tweedale is talking on Test::Builder::Clutch.
https://metacpan.org/module/Test::Builder::Clutch
As this is a 20min talk there is time for a second talk, if anyone
is willing to put their hand-up.


Someone mentioned in passing "I'd love to do a talk, but I don't
know what to talk about."

Some thoughts in that direction:
  1. Pick a module you're familiar/or not familiar with, study the
     docs and put together a small tutorial,
  2. Find a problem you've solved recently, describe and explain the
     solution,
  3. We all love reinforcement that Perl is the language of choice,
     say why you think so, with examples,
  4. Refactor some code you wrote $PERIOD ago into Modern Perl --
     discuss,
  5. List some Perl One-liners you use all the time or some rarely
     used hacks, describe,
  6. Produce a tutorial on a subset of tool usage, such as the
     debugger, REPLs, builders

Don't be concerned that someone might know more about the subject,
as there's bound to be someone who knows less and you'll both learn
something.
