Hi Mongers
Thanks to everyone who came along and contributed to the various debates
and inquisitions last night - I thoroughly enjoyed the meeting.
Notes for Peter:
1. Don't use XML::Simple
2. If you insist on ignoring '1', be sure to enable XML::Simple's
"strict mode" as described here:
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=218480
This would have alerted you to the need to define ForceArray.
3. Using XML::LibXML would give you fewer surprises. It is easily
installed on Ubuntu/Debian with:
apt-get install libxml-libxml-perl
4. The XML::LibXML documentation is not great, but this article should
help you convert code from XML::Simple to XML::LibXML:
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=490846
5. You might also want to look at an XPath tutorial, e.g.:
http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XPathTutorial/General/examples.html
The slides from my Postgres history triggers talk are up on the web site
(complete with bugs) here:
http://wellington.pm.org/archive
The final slide includes a link to resources.zip which includes all you
need to set up the simple DB that I described, and try out the triggers.
Thanks Richard for your interesting presentation (and also for
requesting the other talk). I think you're going to have to come up
with a name for your project and feel sure the group can come up with
suggestions. Here's some to get the ball rolling:
* credcheck
* nbad (the "Nothing But Auth" daemon)
* bbad (Bare Bones Authentication Daemon)
* authify
* ics (Isolated Credentials Store)
* adwan (authentication daemon without a name)
The next meeting will be on September the 8th - let me know if you'dlike
to do a talk.
Regards
Grant
