[kw-pm] TPM lightning talks

[Fulko Hew]

The TPM Lightning Talk session is this Thursday, Sept 30.
And the presenters are supplying notification of what is
on their mind. Here is the lastest information that I have.


 Quant Finance with Perl Item #2 .. 'Yield Curve' by Richard

 Testing web pages with Perl by Pierre

 Getopt::Declare by Shaun

    Getopt::Declare (by Damian) is yet another command-line argument
    parser, one which is specifically designed to be powerful but
    exceptionally easy to use.

 /Perl (Expert)? Quiz of the Week/ by John

    A talk on the two mailing lists, /Perl (Expert)? Quiz of the Week/
    run by Mark Jason Dominus
    The talk would describe the two lists, how to join, and show some
    example quizes from the past 6 months, with a summary of the
    sort of discussion that arose.

 Creating Highly Available, Redundant Linux Systems by Fulko

    Of course the "... using Perl"  is a given

 Automating best testing practices in Class::DBI development by Dan.

    Dan will be using a CPAN module Spork to prepare his slides so you
    may get a side topic covering Spork.

 21st Century Perl by Micheal

    Synopsis: Every time a new version of Perl comes out, I salivate
          over the shiny new syntax features, but I know that because of
          the demands of backwards compatibility I won't be able to use
          the features for a long time.

          But Now I'm making a clean break and refusing to support Perl
          versions from the last Millenium.  Now I get to use with
          confidence such advanced features as:

             - autovivifying filehandles
             - 3 argument open
             - lexical warnings
             - the 'our' pragma
             - can() and isa()
             - inline foreach

 Taking a Dump

    How to perform stack tracing by Fulko

 Catching financial conspirators using Perl

    This involves Perl for recreation. The topic will focus on a puzzle
    published in Dr Dobb's Journal and the use of Perl to aid in solving
    the puzzle.



Listeners are ALWAYS welcome.
