<p>As mentioned in the meeting, PPI might be useful for Perl-ish
syntax checking, without executing Perl. If you use syntax-warping

databases, it might be faster than that... :-)<br>

<pre>Hi Mongers
Thanks to everyone who came along last night and special thanks to those
who did a talk. It was an enjoyable evening and a record size crowd in
recent memory. I've put up some slides/links on the web site (feel free
to send me yours if I didn't get it):

The next meeting is scheduled for April 11th. Let me know if you'd like
to do a talk or suggest a topic.
Cheers
