[VPM] Victoria Perl Mongers meeting shortly

[Peter Scott]

Tonight, Tuesday, June 21, 7pm, at UVic, in Harry Hickman Building 
120.  (Maps at http://uvic.ca/).  Brave the summer rain and see:

Abram Hindle will cover:

    Making Chat bots and scripts with

	Net::IRC
	Net::OSCAR
	Irssi  - Scripts
	XChat - Scripts

    Successful Architectures and Patterns for developing bots.  Minor
IRC details.

This sounds particularly useful and interesting to me - I have a
backburned project to create an IRC bot for a help desk and one of
Abram's previous talks on Parse::RecDescent was very helpful.  These
days, IRC bots are the most ubiquitous examples of artificial
intelligence to be found.  purl on #perl is a notorious example.

I'll have copies of "Perl 6 Now" and "Higher Order Perl" for inspection.
