Okay.

I believe Rory's been talking to the Alligator about a talk on DBI.

I believe someone here can probably give a talk about Auxinet^WDatacash
and its use of perl in a bet-the-company situation.

Claudio can talk about implementing INTERCAL in perl while everybody hides.

... so I think we can sort out speakers/ideas.

The remaining questions are:

* where

and 

* when

The Standing Order, although agreeable on the beer/smoke/food front, is a
bit full -- unless they have function space.

It should be possible to borrow the function room at the Southsider, though
(up on West Nicholson Street, IIRC?). And there's always the Holyrood
Tavern.

My vote for a time would be  the last Tuesday of the month -- in this
instance, Tuesday 28th -- or later. Ideally, same time/place each month?

I can arrange for a brewer or two to lecture us on real ale, if
you're serious ;-)


my $glass = new Pub::Crawl();

$beers = $glass->list_from_pumps();
foreach $brew (@$beers) {
    $glass->fill($brew);
    while ($glass->empty()) {
        $glass->drink();
    }
}
