Subject: Perl Contractor Needed

We are looking for a Perl developer for a 3-5 month contract in Buffalo,
NY.

The client has to get a prototype ready for a trade show, so this is a
short, quick development assignment. Must be onsite here in Buffalo for
the duration of the contract. This is full time work.

If you or anyone you know would be interested, please let us know.

Subject: [Buffalo-pm] Meeting Next Tuesday - July 31st!
Message-ID: <728860.48205.qm@web33315.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Mongers,

I would like to schedule a meeting for next Tuesday, July 31st. I've talked to Ben Bixby about doing a talk on using Perl with BDB (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_DB). I'm hoping to have an abstract for the talk soon. 

Ben, is next Tuesday alright for you?

If you would like to attend and Tuesday is not good for you, let me know. If enough people complain, I can potentially change the date.

Thanks.

-Dan

Message-ID: <191215.16200.qm@web33302.mail.mud.yahoo.com>


Date: July 31st, 2007
Time: 7 PM
Location: 242 Bell Hall, UB North Campus

Topic: Embedded Databases - Ben Bixby
Agenda:

Intro
    What is an embedded database?
    How do they work
    What are the advantages
    What are the disadvantages
    Why/When would you want to use one

Some available embedded databases
    BerkeleyDB
    Cache::FastMmap
    Embedded MySQL
    File System
    GDBM_File
    SQLite

Using embedded databases
    Code should be abstract
    Might want to swap database type
    Some are better than others for certain purposes
    Performance
    Correctness
    Concurrency

Abstract embedded database code
    Data Access Layer (DAL)
    init
    get
    set
    list
    remove

Correctness
    Does the database do what you need how you need
        LRU
        Automatic resizing
    Does it work as expected

Concurrency
    Special considerations for a multi-process environment
    Readers
    Writers
    Locking
    Synchronization

Performance comparison
    Is it fast enough for your application
    Benchmarking

Conclusion
    Get requirements straight
    Reduce pain

Subject: [Buffalo-pm] Take The 2007 Perl Survey!
Message-ID: <568695.7376.qm@web33303.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Mongers,

Take part in the 2007 Perl Survey!

The Perl Survey is an attempt to capture a picture of the Perl community
in all its diversity.  No matter what sort of Perl programmer you are,
we'd love to hear from you.

The survey can be found at: http://perlsurvey.org

It only takes about 5 minutes to complete.

The survey will be open until September 30th, 2007.  After that, we'll be
reporting on the results and making the data freely available.

Please feel free to forward this email to any other Perl programmers
you know.

Thanks for your help!
