My notebook with the appropriate addresses and phone numbers got mutilated. However, at the last SRPM meeting, Ken expressed an interest in paper cutting machines. I think I've been given the go-ahead to get rid of a couple I've got here, so if you've an interest in those devices, either as-is or for repurposing their mechanisms to other ends, please give me a holler and I'll bring some to the next meeting.

I'm using the rakudo in Fedora's distro to play around with perl6. Even wrote a program to get my feet wet, using gather/take -- very spiffy. I'm hoping that soon we will be able to run "perl6 --target=pbc", and have it generate pbc for parrot. Alas, though, I may need to use perl5 for my latest programming idea: my own markov-chaining irc bot, using redis as the database backend. http://code.google.com/p/redis/wiki/CommandReference http://search.cpan.org/~dpavlin/Redis-0.0801/lib/Redis.pm ...and as crazy as this question may sound: Is anyone using perl6 in production? If so, how do you feel about it? Also, I really think the world of perl is about to become much more exciting! :) Thanks, and Happy Friday. :) -Scott From geoff at broadwell.org Fri Oct 23 10:23:00 2009 From: geoff at broadwell.org (Geoffrey Broadwell) Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2009 10:23:00 -0700 Subject: [Santa-rosa-pm] Hi In-Reply-To: <4AE1D344.80007@ponzo.net> References: <4AE1D344.80007@ponzo.net> Message-ID: <1256318580.4400.141.camel@rover.home.broadwell.org> On Fri, 2009-10-23 at 09:01 -0700, Scott Doty wrote: > Hi, Hi Scott! > Perl has always been my favorite language -- and now, perl6 has ignited > my coding sensibilities.

Well, you can currently do it in two steps ... or three, if you want to turn the PBC into a fakecutable (a binary that includes the PBC file and some magic to load the necessary libs to invoke an interpreter on that PBC). > ...and as crazy as this question may sound: Is anyone using perl6 in > production? If so, how do you feel about it? It's in "production" for the eating-our-own-dogfood stuff, but not yet widespread. Once Rakudo * is out, I expect that will change. > Also, I really think the world of perl is about to become much more > exciting! :) Oh, it definitely is. Join us on FreeNode #perl6 to see the excitement unfold .... > Thanks, and Happy Friday. :) Same to you! -'f From rjw at alembic.com Tue Oct 27 00:17:23 2009 From: rjw at alembic.com (Ron Wickersham) Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:17:23 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Santa-rosa-pm] October Perl Meeting tonight Message-ID: the next meeting is tonight, Tuesday, 27 Oct 2009 19:30. our meeting place is Alembic, 3005 Wiljan Ct., Santa Rosa. directions are at http://sonoma.pm.org/directions.html
