> Hi everyone!
>
> Just a quick reminder that Bill Ott will be presenting "Perl That's Simple
> Enough for Beginners, but Cool Enough for Everyone" this Friday at the Grand
> Rapids Public Library Downtown. He'll present a number of real-life Perl
> hacks to do things like manipulating online polls, automatically entering
> online sweepstakes over and over again, and interacting with an air
> conditioner over a serial port in a building three miles away. The meeting
> will start at 11:30am, and there is a map available here:
>
> http://www.grpl.org/yourlibrary/locations/grm.html
>
> Please RSVP if you get a chance, so we know how many people to expect.
>
> FOOD WILL NOT BE PROVIDED THIS MEETING! Instead, if you want food, you
> should call ahead to order from the Library Cafe'. They do have a few $5
> specials this week, so see the message attached below for details. The
> Cafe' home page is here:
>
> http://www.grpl.org/yourlibrary/cafe.html
>
> As always, there is no charge for any Grand Rapids Perl Mongers meeting, and
> newcomers are always welcome.
