[pm-h] October Houston.pm Technical Meeting: Bag of Tricks

[G. Wade Johnson]

Erin Schönhals has agreed to present for this month's meeting at 7pm
on October 11. Here's her explanation of the topic:

By popular demand, for Houston.pm's October meeting I will be
presenting some small examples from a bag of tricks useful for taking
on a number of file manipulation tasks, more specifically those suited
to manipulating human readable text.  Such tricks include but are not
limited to:

    * Quick and easy recursive file operations
    * Editing files in-place; or, a better alternative
    * A blurb on ispell and Lingua::Spelling::Alternative
    * Some notes on Template::Toolkit
    * Handling errors gracefully in the midst of a large pile of work
    * Mass renaming of files; good for managing media collections!

Slides and example code will be made available online after the
meeting.  Each example will be introduced with enough explanation to
help grasp the most important moving pieces.  Plenty of room will be
left over at the end of the presentation for Q&A.  Hopefully the keen
attendee will be able to string these methods together with confidence.

I sure do hope to see you then!

------------------------
As usual, we will meet at 3131 W. Alabama St. The presentation starts
at 7pm. We'll gather in the lobby on top of the parking garage between
6:40pm and 7pm, and go to the meeting from there.
