Subject: GR.pm Poll(s)
Message-ID: <20000726194837.24795.qmail@web313.mail.yahoo.com>

We're trying to assess the interest in getting together for a chatty,
GR.pm lunch.  If you'd be interested in getting together for lunch this
Friday, please send email to joelmeulenberg@yahoo.com saying so.  Also,
if you've got a hankering for any restaurant in particular, please
mention that too.  (Personally, I'm kinda craving Bombay Cuisine in
Eastown.)  I'll report back to the group on the outcome.

Also, today Paul Tjapkes pointed out that a good topic for a GR.pm
presentation would be a thorough treatment of package variables (i.e.-
"global" variables), lexical variables, "local" variables, symbol
tables, namespaces, etc. - and maybe even coverage of the differences
between how Perl handles lexicals and package var's under the hood.  If
anyone would be interested in hearing about that, please let me know. 
*And* if anyone would be willing to cover this topic, *please* let me
know.

Thanks.

Subject: GR.pm Lunch Tomorrow @ Bombay Cuisine @ 11:30am
Message-ID: <20000727193751.28331.qmail@web314.mail.yahoo.com>

OK, there will be at least a handfull of us able to meet for lunch
tomorrow.  Some thought that Bombay Cuisine sounded good and no one
made other recommendations, so Bombay Cuisine it is!  Bombay Cuisine is
in *Easttown* (or is it Eastown?) on Lake Drive, right around 1400 (I
don't know the exact address).  It's on the south side of Lake Dr. and
it's just east of where Robinson Road meets Lake Dr.  Here's a MapQuest
link to help you find your way:

http://www.mapquest.com/cgi-bin/ia_find?link=btwn/twn-map_results&event=find_select&search=[1400-1443]LAKE+DR+SE,+GRAND+RAPIDS,+MI,+US&uid=u9u406c36ah5o8fe:bwgzrnuwt&lat=429572&lng=-856344&country=US&level=9&style=2&width=440&height=280

If you happen to be coming from the East Beltline, there's a neat
little wormhole:  Take Fulton west off the Beltline, go down like 1/8th
of a mile and turn left onto Robinson Road (which runs on an angle). 
Robinson Rd. will run into Lake Dr. at a really acute angle, so you've
gotta make a funky left turn onto Lake.  Bombay Cuisine is right there
on the south side of Lake.

Oh, also, lot's of people expressed interest in hearing a discussion on
lexicals, package var's, globals, symbol tables, scratchpads, etc, etc.
 Paul Tjapkes just introduced me to the "our" keyword in Perl 5.6. 
"our" is meant to be the counterpart of "my".  It's synonymous with the
"use vars" pragma, but kinda makes more intuitive sense.  So, as you
can tell, Paul seems to really be on top of this topic.  Perhaps he'll
volunteer for the presentation.  (A little ego stroking and peer
pressure wouldn't hurt either.  ; ) )

See you tomorrow...

+Joel
