If any of you skilled Perl junkies are looking for a 98% Perl job (the rest would be SQL, well a little more than 2% SQL maybe), then be sure to send me a mail. I think that we still have some positions open. And if not then we'll probably get soon. If not for any other reason then because we're supposed to get a pool table finally in the new building. %-) - ask -- ask bjoern hansen - more than 70M impressions per day, From scholarships at erols.com Thu Jul 20 15:09:52 2000 From: scholarships at erols.com (scholarships@erols.com) Date: Thu Aug 5 00:21:51 2004 Subject: Tuition-Free Computer and IT Training for Non-Profit Employees Message-ID: <70.101024.176445@yahoo.com> Tuition-Free Computer and IT Training for Non-Profit Employees Dear Non-Profit Employee, Most non-profit employees want to improve their computer skills.

Of course, I read "Learning Perl" initially, so I was using the Camel Book as a reference. I find it much easier to use than "Perl in a Nutshell", because there are clearer examples and IMHO better cross-referencing. But I'm glad to hear the 3rd edition is even better. On a similar note, has anyone read "Object Oriented Programming in Perl" by Damian Conway? I have enjoyed his columns in the Perl Journal, and of course use his Coy.pm module quite often. :-) I hear it's good, but don't know anyone who has read it. Any comments? Thanks, -Brent From brent.fulgham at xpsystems.com Tue Jul 25 18:48:27 2000 From: brent.fulgham at xpsystems.com (Brent Fulgham) Date: Thu Aug 5 00:21:51 2004 Subject: Just for fun Message-ID: At the risk of revealing my lame level of Perl skills, but in the interest of sparking conversation, I submit the following Perl success story: I agreed to help my (relatively) computer-illiterate father convert some genealogical data he had received as a DBase III file to a format his software could use. Naturally, I selected Perl as my tool of choice. The GEDCOM format consist of records for individuals (i.e., humans) as well as families. The families (obviously) have all kinds of possible links that might occur between them. (And contrary to popular opinion, there actually ARE quite a few branches in my family tree ;-) My first cut was to model this as a set of nested arrays (or arrays holding references to arrays). This was fairly slow (took 30 minutes or so to run on an 8000 entry file), and turned out to be incorrect. I had not modelled all the interrelationships properly, and so I had the frightening result of kids who were shown as being their own parents, etc. Next I searched CPAN a bit, and located the Tree-DAG_Node class. This allowed me to move away from trying to handle all the possible parent-child relationships, making my job easier. The problem was this was extremely slow. After 30 minutes of running to reach the 30% point, I stopped and tried to speed things up. Being a C/C++ programmer by day, my first thought was to implement a binary search algorithm to locate nodes (since the DAG_Node class doesn't provide searching routines). I should point out that nodes are not ordered by their value -- you might have parent 5 with children 2000, 129, 2, and 3. But the binary-search slowed things even further than the simple iterative search I had used before. So, I finally realized something that is probably obvious to the more expert Perl users -- the Hash data type solves this problem. Rather than search through the entire tree for a particular parent node, I stored a reference to it in a hash (keyed by the node's name). If I added more nodes, I simply stored them in the hash (after defining their links to the other nodes). Imagine my shock to see that the program whipped through all 8000 elements in about 30 seconds. Quite an improvement! So I guess the moral is that good selection of the data type can make all the difference in the world. :-) Do any of you have other tips on how to create speedy Perl programs?

There's one on the corner of T.O. and Duesenburg (on the same side of the street as the main branch of the post office). There's also a fish & chips place across the street. Further down T.O., at the "Erbes" intersection, there is another mexican place. Just a block further, is "Roxy's Famous Deli" (a shameless rip-off of Jerry's famous deli). And if you're adventurous, there's a chinese place next door. From the outside, it looks like a great Alabama BBQ place ;-) Sushi? Not my cup of tea, but there's a (supposedly quite good) place in the middle of the Janns mall. But I prefer the Mandarin (also located in Janns). I've also heard good things about the one on "Skyline Dr.", just off T.O. Blvd. Super-Tommy's makes a great greasy burger, they're at the intersection of T.O. and Hampshire. There's some sort of Kobe steakhouse on T.O., Just between the the 23 and Moorpark rd. In the same vicinity, there's also "Corrigan's steakhouse". (somewhat overpriced, even for WLV) But it's operated by the son of the movie-stuntman "Crash Corrigan". Go for dinner, the owner sits at the bar and gets sloppy and lasso's the waiters. (There's some local color fer ya!) (Also a sports bar in that vicinity, right by the 23.) And, I know they're chains but, I like Macaroni Grill, Fresh Choice, Chili's, Applebee's and Black Angus. ---- Entertainment The Civic Arts plaza is the largest cultural and performance center between L.A. and S.F. they have everything from concerts, ballet, professional theater and community theatre. There's also a very active community theatre located at Moorpark Rd and the 101 (opposite side from the big mall). My wife and I usually buy season tickets to a couple of the theater groups. But there's something happening almost every night. WLV was designed as an escape from L.A., so the lid is clamped-down VERY tight on nightlife. The sidewalks roll-up automatically at 10:00pm. It's assumed that you'll drive down into the city if you want nightlife. Median age in WLV appears to be in the low 3-digits ;-) But the surrounding valley is really a nice place to raise a family.
