A quick reminder that we're meeting at Tony's house this afternoon at 2.00
for a Perl testing workshop.
Details at:
http://mkperl.scrubhole.org:8080/mkpm/events/first-testing-workshop
We plan to improve Log::Dispatch testing and documentation:
http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Log::Dispatch
And there is possibly a Barbie module (the B&Q variety, not the Brummie one)
to be dynaloaded.

Yikes. Thanks for pointing that out. Nearly disturbed Tony's yorkshire
pudding!

Message-ID: <20080619085820.GA18612@eborcom.com>
Milton Keynes Perl Mongers will hold our first technical meeting of 2008 on
Tuesday 8th July at the Open University in the same room as last time. Please
join us for the following talks:
Source Filters (Tony Edwardson)
Tony will explain what source filters are, how to use them, what they
can be used for, examples of some popular modules which use them and
some gotchas.
What I Did on my Holidays (Oliver Gorwits)
Oliver will tell us about patches submitted, documentation written, and
a weeded allotment: a selection of interesting Perl modules and tools.
An Introduction to DBIx::Class (Tom Hukins)
Tom will show how DBIx::Class builds on Perl's DBI interface to
databases, translating records to and from Perl objects.
Arrive at the OU for 7pm. Here's how to find us:
First, find the OU campus as described at http://www3.open.ac.uk/contact/
Enter the campus (signposted Open University, not Open University East),
via Brickhill Street (V10).
Take the middle lane past Security (on the left), through the barriers, and
then turn right on to Ring road East.
Ahead you will see the road narrows to single lane on your side of the road,
where there are no entry signs. Just prior to this is the entrance to a car
park on the left (marked East parking extension on the campus map). Take
this left turn and head to the top right (North West on the campus map) of
the car park.
The meeting is in Venables Building, specifically the section marked South
East on the campus map.
Take the path (marked in yellow on the campus map) East from the car park
toward the centre of campus.
Take a right under an archway in to the courtyard area bound by Venables
South, East, and South East, keeping right (heading North East on the campus
map), behind the building section marked South East.
You will find a double door on your right, which is the entrance to the
South East section of Venables Building.
We'll see you there, as these are usually access controlled doors, so you
will probably need to be let in.
See you on the 8th,
Tom

We have an additional talk:
Real Life Cross-Platform Testing (Peter Edwards)
I think this gives us a good mix of talks: I wonder if we can manage
to get more than 10 people show up. Tell your friends, particularly
those who don't use Perl yet!
I counted 14 people at our meeting with the LUG last night, and there
was port stout. Yum.
I'm already looking for talks for some time in September or October,
so let me know if you have anything to tell us about. It doesn't
matter how advanced or technical, and you can even tak for just 5
minutes if you like.
Tom

How did this go? Is there a write up or anything about the event in a
blog post or something? Funnily enough I saw Dave Rolsky last week :)
> And there is possibly a Barbie module (the B&Q variety, not the Brummie one)
Oi, that's the Cheshire one thank you ;) Brummie indeed!
Cheers,

It went very well. I was meaning to do a use.perl.org journal post about
it, but didn't :-/
Maybe this weekend!

Yeah, me too. I've been up North the past few days - even further
north than Glossop - to escape from life, but the four of us who
showed up enjoyed it.
I felt a bit unhappy in that I'd hoped we could bring in some
newcomers to the cult of Perl and Testing, whereas the four of us who
showed up already had fair experience of both.
But we can try again and see what happens next time.
I wonder why those who planned to show up didn't, and why those who
thought it wouldn't interest them thought it wouldn't, at least for
those of you in or near to MK.
I'd especially like to hear from people who thought it might be too
scary, clever or difficult, because the intention was to give
newcomers a gentle introduction to Perl. It was a lovely, warm, sunny
day though. Too nice to stay indoors doing computers.
Tom

Well you already know what happened to me (bloody flu) - I was rather
looking forward to trying to get my head around Perl and understand how
the testing units are laid out and would normally have really enjoyed a
BBQ (unfortunately, I felt like I was one instead...)
