[Canberra-pm] Latest Canberra.PM Meetup report

[Michael Potter]

27th August, 2008

Paul Fenwick and Jacinta Richardson were in Canberra for training, and
kindly put aside some time to present some talks and catch up with local
Perl Mongers.

   - Paul presented some talks (and gripes ;) on security and Perl, aswell
   as some details on autodie, IPC::System::Simple and some really exotic
   (ab)uses of the 'system' function. autodie may well become the next
   compulsory 'use' after 'strict' and 'warnings'.
   - Jacinta presented an interesting talk on Optimization in Perl -
   including Big-O notation and how to apply it, profiling with DProf, the
   benefits of Memoize - and some code examples that made the rest of us feel
   like really good programmers.

Special thanks to Robert Edwards (from CLUG) for assistance with the venue.
