Second CFP [Apologies if you see this twice; the first one appears to have been held up for moderator approval.] [La version française suit. / The French version follows.] *** Third North American YAPC: Second Call for Participation *** Yet Another Society calls for your participation in YAPC 2001 the Third North American Yet Another Perl Conference http://yapc.org/America/ McGill University, Montreal, Quebec Wednesday through Friday June 13-15, 2001 YAPC is a place for people to meet and talk about Perl -- where people who've done interesting things, people who are working on the language itself, people who are using it daily, and people who are looking to learn about it are all within arm's reach. Some of the great authors and coders in the field will be on hand to discuss their work, as well as the nature and direction of Perl itself. Please join us for three days of listening and talking about Perl in Montreal. ** Conference registration is NOW OPEN! http://na-register.yapc.org Conference Registration Cost: USD$85 (about CAD$125) ** Dorm rooms will be available at the University; specific arrangements are still being made with McGill, but we expect dorm accommodations to cost under USD$25 per night for a single room. ** YAPC is looking for sponsors. Please Contact Kevin Lenzo (lenzo@yapc.org) for information about how you can help support the Yet Another Society and YAPC. Much of the necessary funding for YAPC comes from the generous donations of our sponsors. ** Submitted papers: Submission Deadline: May 1, 2001 All topics are welcome. Here is a short list of subjects that might be presented: XML, CGI/Web, Interprocess Communication, GUIs (GTk, Tk), Natural Language Processing, Interactive Perl, Agents, Perl as Glue, Object-Oriented Perl, Scientific Applications, Guts, Internals, JAPHs, Perl Poetry, System Administration, DBI/DBD, Non-UNIX Perl, Security, Peer-to-Peer Communication, Your Favorite Topic. Please submit your abstracts to . Authors are requested to limit their abstracts to four sentences for Lightning Talks, and to 300 words for other talks. This year we will accept a number of types of talks: * Lightning: 5 minutes The lightning talks were instigated by Mark-Jason Dominus last year in Pittsburgh, and were replicated with great success at the European YAPC in London. Participants speak for no more than five minutes, with the use of conventional overheads. Any use of data projector, etc, is discouraged, but allowed as long as the five minute time limit is maintained (set-up will be done as the clock ticks). Any topic is allowed, and some have been fantastically humourous. Lightning talks are an excellent forum for first-time speakers. To propose a lightning talk, please send an abstract of no more than four sentences to: mjd-yapc-lightning+@plover.com by the end of May 31, 2001. If your talk is selected for presentation, you will be notified by June 6. For more complete information about Lightning Talks, please visit http://perl.plover.com/lightning-talks.html * Standard: 20 minutes A standard talk is the preferred format. This is enough time to start a topic, introduce it with some pithy slides, and open up to later conversation. * Long and Extra-Long: 45 minutes, 90 minutes Long talks are reserved for experienced speakers covering large topics. If you have an in-depth topic you would like to present in some detail, perhaps with considerable discussion, a Long or Extra-Long talk may be the format of choice. * Tutorial: 3 hours + 30 break (possibly in two sets) Half-day (or possibly full-day) tutorials. Please submit your abstracts to ! Thank you; we hope you will participate. If you have any questions, please mail . --- Yet Another Society is a non-profit organization for the advancement of collaborative efforts in computer and information sciences.

Quelques uns des meilleurs auteurs et codeurs dans le domaine seront présents pour discuter de leur travail, ainsi que de la nature et de l'avenir du langage Perl lui-même. Joignez-vous donc à nous à Montréal pendant trois jours pour parler et entendre parler de Perl. ** Les inscriptions sont maintenant ouvertes! http://na-register.yapc.org/ Frais d'inscription: 85$US (environ 125$CDN) ** Des résidences étudiantes seront disponibles à Montréal; les détails sont en négociation avec McGill, mais une chambre simple coûtera probablement autour de 25$US. ** YAPC est à la recherche de commanditaires. Communiquez avec Kevin Lenzo (lenzo@yapc.org) pour savoir comment vous pouvez encourager la Yet Another Society et YAPC. Une grande partie des fonds nécessaires à YAPC proviennent en effet des généreuses contributions de nos commanditaires. ** Soumission des communications: Date de tombée: 1er mai 2001 Tous les sujets sont bienvenus. Voici une liste non-exhaustive de sujets possibles: XML, CGI/web, communication inter-processus, GUIs (Gtk, Tk), traitement du langage naturel, Perl interactif, agents, Perl comme langage-"colle", Perl orienté-objet, applications scientifiques, entrailles, JAPHs, poésie Perl, administration de systèmes, DBI/DBD, Perl non-Unix, sécurité, communication 'peer-to-peer', ... Veuillez soumettre vos résumés à . Les auteurs sont priés de limiter leurs résumés à quatre phrases pour les communications éclair, et à 300 mots pour les autres communications. Cette année, nous acceptons plusieurs sortes de communications: * Communications éclair: 5 minutes Les communications éclair ont été introduites l'été dernier à Pittsburgh par Mark-Jason Dominus et ont été reprises avec beaucoup de succès au YAPC européen à Londres. Les participants disposent d'un maximum absolu de cinq minutes pour présenter leur communication, habituellement à l'aide d'un rétro-projecteur. Tout autre mécanisme de présentation est déconseillé, car son installation peut gruger du temps précieux! Tout sujet est accepté, ce qui a donné lieu dans le passé à quelques communications hautement humoristiques. Les communications éclair constituent un excellent forum pour des gens qui en sont à leurs premières présentations. Pour proposer une communication éclair, envoyez un résumé de quatre phrases ou moins à: mjd-yapc-lightning+@plover.com avant le 31 mai, 2001. Si votre proposition est retenue, on vous en informera au plus tard le le 6 juin. Pour plus d'informations sur les communications éclair, visitez http://perl.plover.com/lightning-talks.fr.html * Standard: 20 minutes La communication standard constitue le format préféré. Il y a suffisamment de temps pour introduire le sujet, présenter quelques acétates bien choisis et permettre la discussion. * Longue et extra-longue: 45 minutes, 90 minutes Ces communications sont réservées aux présentateurs expérimentés et elles couvrent des sujets plus vastes. Si vous désirez présenter un sujet et le discuter en détail, ce format pourrait s'avérer le plus approprié. * Tutoriel: 3 heures + une pause Tutoriels d'une demi-journée et possiblement d'une journée complète. Veuillez soumettre vos résumés à ! Nous vous remercions et nous espérons que vous participerez en grand nombre.

What you are looking for is the bind_param_inout() method, which I have used with limited success. For something that just does an insert/update, it will be fine, but for larger stored procedures, I prefer to make an external call to SQLPLUS via backticks and then parse through the input. Of course, the method is part of DBD::Oracle, which is the documentation you should be looking through; only the basic SQL statements are the same across multiple databases, so DBI docs only help in a general sense. The good news is that DBD::Oracle is an extremely well-written and well-supported module.
