[oak perl] Presentations given at this Tuesdays' Perl Mongers meeting.

[Adrien Lamothe]

I'd like to thank both Kester Allen and Steve Fink
for their excellent presentations at this Tuesday's
meeting. The meeting themes were "Perl 6 and Parrot."

Kester spoke about the new Perl6::Rules package. He
showed several examples of rule definition using the 
package. His presentation and examples were very clear

and practical. It was very evident just how powerful 
this new package is, especially for Perl programs that

employ a particular regular expression in more than
one 
place. Conceptually, I think of Perl6::Rules as the 
"Cascading Style Sheet of regular expressions."

Steve then followed with a talk starting with some 
conceptual issues of Perl6::Rules, followed by a 
discussion of Perl 6. Steve's presentation covered 
Parrot a bit and the end.

Kester and Steve's presentations complimented each 
other very well. I definitely plan on looking at 
Perl6::Rules the next time I have the need to write 
script employing regular expressions.
