Hello all,

For those of you who prefer to think of me as the benevolent dictator, I
thought I'd let you know that we are having a meeting on Thursday July
29 2005 at 7:00pm at the Scottsdale Public Library, Civic Center. For
the (representative-)democratically inclined, I welcome feedback on this
time/location. I'll make a full anouncement once we have a topic.

And now for the second part... the presentation / talk portion. Once
again I refer you to

http://web.archive.org/web/20040726180006/phoenix.pm.org/wiki/index.cgi?
PerlMongersIdeas

for some suggestions. Please mail your suggestions here to the list.
Ideally I'd like two shorter talks -- a beginner-intermediate one and an
intermediate-advanced. Scott and I both are willing to talk about all
sorts of things, and other volunteers are very welcome. Something
bugging you about some Perl code you're working on? Some module you'd
like to see in action? Now is the time and place to get the dirt on it!

recently mentioned suggestions (mostly by Scott... hope he doesn't
mind):
  * The making of _Perl 6 Now_
  * Architecture of "Active Wiki Pages" in TinyWiki (secure server-side
    execute of Perl in user-edited pages)
  * How to parse HTML, scrape pages, and crawl sites
  * A really horrible PDF invoice generator in Perl that'll make you
want to cry
  * Theory and use of Perl6::Contexts (ooh, this would be fuuun) --
    adding Perl 6 style string, integer, boolean, and reference contexts
    to Perl 5 for a mondo cool code effect with greatly reduced
    suckiness. This is another B::Generate hack of mine.
  * Intro to Perl5 objects
  * Using Perl for the ICFP 2005 Contest (which was all sorts of fun)
  * Using (pick your favorite web-framework -- lets say
CGI::Application)
  * other suggestions / volunteer presentations welcome

So much to talk about! The floor is open.
