Mark had been correctly informed that the conference room we had been meeting in at Servergraph had been torn down to build 2 offices. But the offices only ate 20% of the old conference room and the tearing down of two walls actually made the space much larger and more open. So, the meeting is back on, but Mark is unable to give his talk tomorrow. Some members have talked about more of a problem solving atmosphere for the meetings. Therefore, tomorrows meeting is scheduled to be a "bring your problem(s)" meeting. Each person with a problem to be solved can explain their particular problem and then whoever can help solve that problem will help them, right then. So if you can bring a notebook, even if you don't have a problem to solve, it would be helpful. I believe I'll have both ethernet and 802.11b access for the meeting. More details to follow.

The meeting program is now a help desk format. If you've got a question (preferably perl, but hey we're flexible :) ask it and hopefully someone will have the answer. Certainly someone will help you find the answer. There will be a hub to plug into and hopefully wireless access also. I'll have a local, up-to-date copy of CPAN served from my notebook so internet access requirements stay low. We will have internet access. I'll try to also have the O'Reilly Perl CD Bookshelf available. Since it is very short notice and not everyone will have a perl question or want to play perl guru, I'll add "bring your linux/unix question" to the agenda. I can answer many Linux/Unix questions and hope some other linux/unix experts show up. Any questions? Email or call me.

Where is somewhere that I can purchase a value PC (doesn't have to be new) to get some exposure to linux? I've gone to the Dell, HP, Gateway, MicronPC, CDW, etc. sites and chosen the 'configure' option, only to be faced with the OS option of Windows XP Home or Professional. Where's my Redhat, SuSE, or Mandrake option? I could build my own, but would rather just purchase a pre-built system. Please feel free to offer recommendations.

If you deide to go this route, do NOT blame Linux for speed problems. Linux will run, and run flawlessly, but it will be slow. another 12* MB of RAM would probably make it reasonable. It comes with the Thiz linux install disks. Since they are there (and theoretically would allow you to get back to the initial state, I would recommend reloading the OS form scratch. I'd recommend Fedora (essentially RedHat 9.1). I'll have at least one set of CDs with me at the meeting tomorrow night.

In looking, I think if I traverse the directory tree locally, use HTML::LinkExtor to grab links from the document, then make a hash of what links where I'll have the data I need. Then I'd just need a way to display it graphically. Bet there's a CPAN module or something if I passed in a hash of hashes/arrays.

Message-ID: <20031113223907.GA10595@remmler.org> Hi, I've been nerdily watching the Perl 6 development process since it started. I'm not sure how much others have been paying attention, but there was at least some amount of interest expressed at last night's meeting about what's in store for everyone's favorite language. If others are sufficiently interested, I'd be happy to talk about this at a meeting. So, are others sufficiently interested? Also, I think the Q'n'A meeting format was quite beneficial (although it was only my second meeting, so...). It would be cool to do that format occasionally; perhaps even have something like that between the normal meetings. Maybe even just go eat/drink somewhere (aren't there places with free wireless?) and shoot the bull. - Ian. -- Ian Remmler | "Just for the record, my main man is, and has been since ian@remmler.org | 1987, Van Mundegaarde.

Eg.) ############################ my $module = choosemodule(); use $module; sub choosemodule{ # do special module choosing magic here return $thechosenone; } ############################ This doesn't work because use doesn't want to interpolate $module for me. Again, I want to be able to load the module name contained in $module. Does anyone know how to do this?

But if you try this: $class = 'Foo::Bar'; require $class; # $class is not # a bareword #or require "Foo::Bar"; # not a bareword because of the "" The require function will look for the "F" file in the @INC array and will complain about not finding "F" there. In this case you can do: eval "require $class"; What I do is that eval, then I check $@ and die with that if it's nonempty. Or something like that. If that doesn't work reply and I'll look it up. mike
