Any volunteers? I wouldn't exactly describe it as dying to present on, but I could do a presentation at some point on either: 1. Code generation/finite state machines in Perl (eg, with Libero an Open Source tool available at http://www.imatix.com./) (I should note that I work with iMatix so am not completely disinterested in the products; but would aim to describe the approach not push the tools.); or 2. SGML/XML text processing using Perl (and nsgmls/SGML.pm) The Web offices would still be most suitable to actually hold the meeting even if it was me doing the presentation, as I don't really have access to a suitable location at present. I'd appreciate feedback on which option (1 or 2) would be preferable. I could probably have something together for 2000/3/8 providing I knew relatively soon to plan for it; but of course won't stand in the way of the huge queue of people who must be desperate to present their thing...

The Perl Development environments I use are vi on Unix and PFE on Win32 - not much to talk about there :-) (although I note from the latest Linux Journal that vi(m) has won the readers choice award for best editor again) (and Perl came second in the best programming language category, after C/C++ - might do better next year when that option is split out into two). > Anything else people are dying to present on? Any volunteers? I would certainly be interested in hearing what Ewen's doing code generation etc. How about reserving some time for an open clinic session where people bring along problems or bits of code that they'd like to discuss? Or a confessional where people can fess up to the most stupid things they've done with Perl. Following my recent upload of XML::Simple to CPAN, I could talk about any of: - Building a module package for CPAN (incl: using Test::Harness, writing POD docs, CPAN registration processes etc.) - XML basics - Using XML::Simple - Using XML::Parser We could turn the question around and ask is there anything that people desperately want to find out about. If so, speak up and perhaps we can flush out an expert.
