It was Monday, November 01, 2004 when Chris Winters took the soap box, saying:

: > But on topic, is anyone interested in a talk titled "Using Perl to

: > it's pretty slick.
: 
: Do you mean domain-specific languages? Something like controlling a soda
: machine using a language specific to the soda machine (e.g., a
: 'eject_drink' function) that's translated into Perl code without the
: user's knowledge? Or for the Pragmatic Programmers among you:
: 
:    Item 17: Program close to the problem domain.
: 
: That would be cool.

Yeah, Item 17 style. A howto that uncovers some of the complexities of
loving Perl but wanting to write other scripting languages.

I'd need maybe 20-30 minutes, so I'm looking for another talk if
anyone has ... anything. :-)
