Our presenter Shaun has been whisked over to Syndey on business. I was going to step in and do his presentation for him but unfortunately I've woken up this morning without a voice. Unless anyone has any strenuous objections, I'd suggest we do it same time, same place next Wednesday. If Shaun is still away, I'll do the presentation on references/objects and we'll leave the talk on the Template Toolkit until a later date: Meeting: Wellington Perl Mongers Start Time: 5:30pm Wednesday 14th March Location: The Web Limited Level 6 BP House Cnr Customhouse Qy & Waring Taylor St Presenter: Shaun McCarthy (or possibly Grant) Topics: A newbie's guide to Perl references and nested data structures Chilled beverages supplied by The Web Limited The references/objects talk is aimed at the beginner to intermediate Perl user so if you fall in that category, I can recommend being there next week. If you forwarded the earlier announcements to anyone, could you please send this postponement notice to them too. Thanks and regards Grant From grantm at web.co.nz Wed Mar 14 15:46:42 2001 From: grantm at web.co.nz (Grant McLean) Date: Thu Aug 5 00:24:09 2004 Subject: Next Perl Mongers meeting 2 May 2001 Message-ID: <290A9E9B2302D511A36D08002B9F4B367689@scarab.lq.web.co.nz> Hi Mongers Pretty good turn out at last night's meeting. I have updated my presentation slides and put them in the 'archive' section of the web site: http://wellington.pm.org/ I also put the list of suggested topics up there so if anyone would like to volunteer to present, look there for inspiration.

Message-ID: <290A9E9B2302D511A36D08002B9F4B3676A8@scarab.lq.web.co.nz> Hi Mongers It appears that publishing houses are falling over themselves to put free books in the hands of user groups. As evidence of this phenomenom, I just received a parcel from the good folks at Addison Wesley containing: Title: Network Programming with Perl Author: Lincoln Stein ISBN: 0-201-61571-1 Publishers link: http://cseng.aw.com/book/0,3828,0201615711,00.html This book gets an average of 5 stars on Amazon.com's http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201615711/ Now the catch ... As our part of the bargain, Addison Wesley would like us to review the book and 'publish' the review. Suggested avenues for publishing include a message to a news group or a page on a web site. We of course have a web site and a book review section could be added fairly easily. Now all we need is someone to review the book. If you're interested in: - Low level socket I/O - Higher level IO::Socket and Net::Telnet interfaces - FTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, NNTP - HTTP and LWP - Forking, threading, multiplexed an nonblocking I/O - Tons of other networking and IPC topics and can come up with a short review (within a month), drop me a line and we'll get the book to you.
