SPUGsters,
Sorry about the delay, but the globe-trotting ActiveState people
have only recently gotten back to me with the following details
for next week's talk. Sounds like it could be a good one, so hope
to see you all there!
NOTE: The next few meetings, including this one, will run from
7:30-9:30 (rather than the usual 7-9pm) due to scheduling issues.
-Tim
P.S. Same info on web-site too now.

"Perl, Komodo & Regular Expressions"
Brian King and Neil Watkiss, Developers
ActiveState Corp., Vancouver CA
Regular expressions are often the bane of many a programmer.
This talk provides an overview of the Regex debugger in Komodo,
ActiveState's new cross-platform, multi-language, scripting IDE.
The Regex Debugger, goes beyond the simple "matched or not"
feedback available in all current Regex debuggers. 'Rx' is written
in Perl and C and integrated into Komodo using Mozilla's XPCOM
technology. Coming soon to Mozilla, PerlXPCOM will allow you to
write your components directly in Perl.
1. Background: Komodo & Perl
- A cross platform, multi-language IDE
- Based on Mozilla
- Perl debugging, syntax highlighting, auto-completion, etc.
2. Regular Expression Debugger
- What was missing - Regex debugger
- Never-before-seen features
- Decided to write in Perl
3. Rx.pm
- Based on re.xs (in the Perl core)
- Mostly written in XS & C, some Perl
- Exposes the Perl regular expression engine functions
- Provides information about compilation and execution phases
4. Rx::Info.pm
- Written completely in Perl
- Provides an OO API to regular expressions and information
5. Integrating Rx into Komodo
- An XPCOM component (introduce XPCOM briefly)
- Written in C++
- Embeds a Perl interpreter
6. Future of Perl & Mozilla: PerlXPCOM
- Current status
