For directions see http://www.cos.com/contact/directions.shtml This month's meeting will start with a brief intro to Perl/Tk - a widget set for building graphical interfaces using standard Perl modules. I'll cover a simple application I cooked up almost entirely for this meeting, so to all of you Perl GUI veterans - take it easy on me! Denise (our gracious O'Reilly contact) has shipped us three just-in-the-stores books that I'll bring to raffle off. I'll also have homemade cookies on hand (I've passed your requests along to the Mrs., so this time we'll try Oatmeal and Peanut-Butter instead of Chocolate-Chip cookies). As always, our benefactor and host Community of Science will provide soda. So come and join us. If it's your first time we'd love to meet you! I'm also looking for a speaker for next month's meeting! Please send me email if you're interested.
