I just noticed someone uploaded Iterator::Simple[1], which seems useful
more useful. It's the grab bag of stuff that HOP discusses wrt
iterators, but without class stuff. Besides that, is anyone down for
meeting up in next week? I'm free Monday(18th), Wednesday (20th), and
Thursday(21st) evenings. Also, I noticed Ben Tilly posted a public
response to Steve McConnell's latest book[2] about estimating costs and
time schedules for software projects.
