Agenda: * Welcome to Melbourne.pm 2003 * What's new in Perl 5 * What's new in Perl 6 * 5 minute talk on new modules * Next hacking session * "A funny thing happened on the way to the Bazaar" Main Talk: "A funny thing happened on the way to the Bazaar" Mike McCauley from "Open System Consultants" is the creator of the very successful Radiator. "Radiator is a highly configurable and flexible Radius server that supports authentication by a huge range of authentication methods such as Flat files, DBM files, Unix password files, SQL databases, remote Radius servers (proxying), external programs, NT User Manager, Active Directory, LDAP, PAM, iPASS, GRIC, NIS+, Tacacs+, a wide range of ISP billing packages such as Emerald, Platypus, Rodopi, Hawk-i, Interbiller98, Freeside etc, your legacy user database etc, etc." (and it is all written in Perl, and of course comes with the source).

Stas Bekman is here in Melbourne - an expert and primary developer for Apaches Mod Perl - which is now used by millions of web servers around the world. Stas will be talking for 1.5 - 2 hours on the all important version 2.0 release. Things have changed in version 2 all for the better, here is your chance to hear about those changes straight from the horse's mouth. Mod Perl (http://perl.apache.org/) is the obvious and most sensible choice for developing web based applications in perl.

For those of you who missed the last Perl Mongers meeting - we are now running a monthly hacking session to code up any perl projects people are interested in. There has been lots of interest in actually doing code on a regular basis. As such thanks to Foo Bard and Crash Kat, we are able to use Nerdlab - a privately owned laboratory of over 100 computers located in the CBD. The plan for this week is the following: * Installation and 'get working' perl on some of the more esoteric operating systems (the range starts and windows, linux and *bsd to solaris, sunos, irix, true 64 unix, and many many more). * Discussion of new projects - eg: Reefknot contributions, Perl agents. * Completion of Sys::Hostname::Long on all the systems we can get Perl working on. * Windows driver for Device::ParallelPort - started, but we may not have time to complete. At this stage, the location of Nerdlab will be handed out on request. As such could those interested in coming along to the hacking session on Thursday night please email: Scott Penrose or Foo Bard If you leave it to late - I will be contactable on my mobile on the day and that night - 0417 885 330 Scott -- Scott Penrose Welcome to the Digital Dimension http://www.dd.com.au/ scottp@dd.com.au Dismaimer: Contents of this mail and signature are bound to change randomly.

For those who can't get a location in time, you are welcome to ring Scott Penrose 0417 885 330 Foo Bard 0439 885 990 Session starts at 6:30. We need help getting lots of platforms and OS'es up and running (both in general and with perl installed :) for example: RS6000/AIX, HP9000/HP-UX, SGI/IRIX, Sun Sparc/Solaris, etc. Second point i wanted to make is that not everyone who comes has to write code, but they are expected to participate and contribute, either with the 'sys admin' kinda stuff mentioned above, or more in a 'pair-programming' situation where one is on the keyboard and the other is assisting. (some people won't like that either - many programmers i know claim they can't program with someone watching them ;) Please come along, it is going to be great !

Do you want to end up with RanDoMlY capiTalIzED text or Title-cased text or something in between.
