I'll give my 'Abuse Perl' talk there. It will run 45-60 minutes. Here's the summary: Perl loves to be abused. You can beat it, kick it, and spit on it, and Perl will always say "I'm sorry" first. Under most circumstances we're taught to avoid abusing Perl. You know, just yell at it instead of throwing it down the stairs. In this talk we're not taking no for an answer, and we're going to pull your hair, Perl! I'm going to show you a lot of ways to abuse Perl that you may already know. What Perl doesn't want you to know is that you can use these tricks to your benefit, for your own good! Shut up, Perl! Learn how to make Perl answer these questions, wether it likes it or not: * how can we replace a base class of the package we're subclassing? * how can I replace methods and functions in another object directly? * how can I monitor what code does to my variable? * how can I inject debugging in other code? * how can I customize an open source project without touching any of its code? Go ahead, slap Perl around a little! -- Casey West From robert at robertblackwell.com Fri Jul 6 04:14:09 2007 From: robert at robertblackwell.com (Robert Blackwell) Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2007 07:14:09 -0400 Subject: [pgh-pm] Pittsburgh Perl Mongers | Meeting | Thursday July 12, 2007 Message-ID: Meeting Thursday July 12, 2007 at 7:00 * This months Technical Gathering 7:00 pm * * Location * Slaymaker Systems, Inc. 4914 Baum Blvd. Pittsburgh, PA 15213 slaysys.com * Talks * * Pittsburgh Perl Workshop 07 - Robert Blackwell * Update on the workshop this year.
