[Mpls-pm] Call for talks: 12 July technical meeting

[Karl Narveson]

I hereby volunteer to present an OO case study: replacing twenty Perl 
scripts with a single polymorphic version.

I can give a ten-minute talk with just the problem (the original 
menagerie of scripts) and the original solution.

If desired to fill twenty minutes, I might mention further benefits of 
the OO approach: e.g. when we decided to improve our logging, or to 
replace MSSQL::DBlib with DBD::ODBC.

Or I could request comments on favorite approaches to config files (why 
we've ended up leaving our config data in the form of Per scripts, and 
why my boss still thinks that's an improvement).
