I don't see anything on the website. Any ideas of what will be discussed?

I have a couple of items to bring up: (1) Escape from North Campu-traz! The next Buffalo Perl Mongers Meeting will be held on Thursday the 13th at 7:00 pm at Alternative Brews on 3488 Sheridan Drive in Amherst, NY. This time, it might be a good idea to have two or three members to commit to talking on some topic without, of course, any AV (Maybe an outline, or a page of code would work if you really felt you needed to illustrate something). What we'll need is suggestions -- and volunteers -- from this list. Ron Raux will be the contact for the meeting ( mailto:robert_raux@fastmail.fm ). I'm going to be out of town on the 13th. (2) I'll be making some long overdue updates to the buffalo.pm.org index page ASAP (apologies to anyone who had sent me their talk notes from the last meeting: I'll *finally* get them on the site). REMINDER: The Buffalo-pm wiki at http://buffalo.pm.org/kwiki/ is currently set at public privileges for *everyone* on the list to modify (except for the index page), as long we don't encounter any abuse/defacing. This wiki is ***YOURS*** to add your own wiki pages: personal pages, your thoughts on Perl topics, Perl news, code samples, etc., are all fair game. In fact, I'll add those very WikiWords to the index page to set up some suggestive organization: everyone can then link through those WikiWord links to pages where they can then set up their own pages in turn. If you're new to (K)wikis, there's a KwikiHelpIndex link where you can learn more about how to use and navigate through (K)wiki. In a nutshell, you can create and edit pages in place from your browser. @|^|` - Kevin From robert_raux at fastmail.fm Mon Nov 10 18:36:16 2003 From: robert_raux at fastmail.fm (Robert Raux) Date: Mon Aug 2 21:25:58 2004 Subject: [Buffalo-pm] November 13th Buffalo Perl Mongers Meeting In-Reply-To: <32857.67.75.60.35.1068183413.squirrel@my.modwest.com> References: <32857.67.75.60.35.1068183413.squirrel@my.modwest.com> Message-ID: <20031111003616.DA0DD7FE99@server2.messagingengine.com> So is there any interest in anyone presenting anything this Thursday? I will definately be there and look forward to talking about at least something! Hopefully a few people will come forward with a couple of suggestions (10 min presentation with some printouts would be grand). I look forward to hearing some ideas before thursday night.

Message-ID: <20031113162933.475B46E452@server2.messagingengine.com> What: Perl Mongers Meeting Where: Alternative Brews on 3488 Sheridan Drive in Amherst, NY. When: 7:00 pm, TODAY, Thursday the 13th. If someone gets there before me, just ask for the tables reserved under "Rob" (Thanks to Kevin for that). What we will be doing: (1) I will be giving a little talk on Perl internals. Nothing too boring, I thought 10 minutes on why you might want to use Perl in a C program, or C in a Perl program. I will bring some basic examples and a couple of tips from my limited experiences. This should be something different to think about and last perhaps 10 minutes or so. (2) Hoping that someone will bring something interesting to talk about or display. [see below]. (3) Discussing the latest happenings in the Perl world. There is still time to bring an idea, a discussion, a favorite module, a little script for us all to digest. Just bring a couple of printer handouts. If one or two people do this, the meeting will be much more productive and entertaining. No need to even tell me, just show up with a smile and a topic. See you all there at 7pm.

Although you would have had to come 20 minutes late... We had to move to Higher Grounds because apparently Alternative Brews does not allow persons under the age of 21 at their establishment even if they are not purchasing beer. This is something good to remember for future meetings. To those at the meeting last Thursday, I thought I would send a little update of my status on embedding the perl interpreter, etc. As much fun as I have had fiddling with C and Perl, I have finally managed to get my goal written in all C. This was after much effort and much debugging however. The only reason I needed to rewrite it in C was because in this case Perl just wasn't fast enough. I needed to be able to read about 100 lines and parse it into a datastructure. This had to be repeated about 20 times a second. To get a good laugh though, it took me about an hour to get my goal working with the embedded perl interpreter in C and about 8-9 hours to get the optimized C code working without the perl interpreter. Funny, you can really write faster code in C, but you can always write code faster in Perl, even if you EMBED IT !!! I can't remember the last time I managed to segfault perl, now only if I could say the same for C. Hope you enjoyed the long winded update. -------- I would also like to inquire about December's meeting time, location, and possible presentations.

As such, it rejected my post. But anyhow, here you are: Ok guys, I did manage to find the code I was using to save a named pipe and it does use an amperstand, however, it doesn't save it to scalar as I once thought, but it instead saves it to another named pipe. Here is the code in case you are still interested. This will save the old STDOUT pipe so that you can set it to something else temporarily and then set it back again: open(SAVEOUT,">&STDOUT"); # save STDOUT to new pipe SAVEOUT # do something here that changes STDOUT # . # . # . open(STDOUT,">&SAVEOUT"); # now restore STDOUT back to what it was. -Tim _________________________________________________________________ Share holiday photos without swamping your Inbox.
