[VPM] Victoria Perl Mongers meeting August 17 - correction

[Peter Scott]

[Subject was right, body was legacy, now fixed - thanks, Adam!]

Victoria.pm will meet at its regular date and time on Tuesday, August 
17, 7pm, at UVic.  The meeting room will be confirmed in another email 
the day before.  (Abram, please let me know by *two* days before :-)

Abram Hindle will give a talk on Parse::RecDescent.  I am looking 
forward to this as I have a few projects coming up that need or will 
benefit from this.  Basically, the answer to any question starting, "I 
want to parse a grammar/syntax/language" is Parse::RecDescent.  Created 
by Damian Conway, this module does everything you can think of and a 
lot more besides to do with parsing and grammars, and makes it so easy 
that there's no point in considering "roll-your-own" as a solution again.

Other topics to be covered as time permits; make requests for anything 
particular.

Peter Scott will give away a small book of Tim O'Reilly's thinkings on 
Open Source and the future (not available in stores!)  Darren Duncan 
also has a duplicate printed copy of "The Perl Review" v1 #0 which will 
be given away.
