Hi everyone,

I have final confirmation now -- Mark-Jason Dominus (aka MJD) has commited to
the Toronto trip.  We're tentatively scheduling the talk for the afternoon of
Saturday 13 May, duration of approx. 4 hours.  (This is tentative on my finding
a room for that time period.)

I have attached here a note from MJD he asked me to distribute.  The main thrust
of his speaking tour is in prepartion for his newest book, currently under
constructions, "Perl Program Repair Shop and Red Flags".  He would like code
contributions -- see details in his letter.  We'll get him to give a talk about
this and also another from his repetoire. (See the "Free talks" section on
http://perl.plover.com/yak/#free )  Suggestions are welcome!

The talk is free, but donations are both appreciated and needed!  The only
support for this event is what comes from its attendees.  Thanks to all who have
pledged already.

Cheers,
Richard

(The following verbatim from MJD.)

       Dear Toronto Perl Mongers,

       I'm coming to visit you on May 13 as part of my tour to gather
       material for my new book, which I hope will be published in
       2007.  The book is about code review and refactoring in Perl.
       (For more complete information, please see
       http://perl.plover.com/flagbook/ .)

       To do the job right, I need real examples of real code that
       other people wrote.  I'll review the code and fix it up, and
       explain in the book what I did and why.

       Please send me some code to look at so that I have something
       to talk about on May 13.  I need it no later than Friday,
       April 14, but sooner is better.

       What I need: code for a program or module that is between 150
       and 700 lines long, not counting comments or blank lines.
       Also, you must be authorized to give me permission to use the
       code in my book.

       If I use your code in the talk, I will give you a free copy of
       my last book, _Higher-Order Perl_.
       (http://hop.perl.plover.com/) If I use your code in the new
       book, you'll get a free copy of that when it comes out.

       If you want more details about what I need, please see:

               http://perl.plover.com/flagbook/contribute.html

       To contribute, send code to:

               mjd-contrib-tor@plover.com

       Questions?   Send them to:

               mjd@plover.com

       Thanks.
