Hi Mongers

The nice folk at O'Reilly have just sent us a copy of:

  Intermediate Perl
  Randal L. Schwartz, brian d foy & Tom Phoenix
  http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/intermediateperl/
  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596102062/

If you're not yet comfortable with references, modules, objects, or
testing then you might want to borrow this from the Wellington.PM
library.  Drop me a line by return email to enter a 'priority queue'.

The next meeting is in two weeks.  

Sam in going to give us an advanced screening of a talk he'll be doing
at YAPC::Eu later in the year:

  Moose - It's the new Camel!

  Moose is a module for building Perl classes, that gives you many of
  the powers of Perl 6's object system in Perl 5 - including Roles 
  and subset types. Despite being a young module, it is rapidly 
  becoming the 'accessors module' of choice for the discerning module
  author.

  This talk will give a tour through Moose - its features and how to 
  use them, and show a design process example of an application 
  written using Moose.

Finlay will be introducing us to DBIx::Class and telling us about his
adventures using it with the Catalyst web application framework.

Cheers
Grant
