[grand-rapids-pm-announce] May Perl Mongers: Text Magic with Perl Regular Expressions

[Al Tobey]

The Grand Rapids Perl Mongers will be meeting this Friday, May 26 at
11:30am at the Priority Health Conference Center.    Lunch will be
provided to those that RSVP to <tobert at gmail.com>.    There is usually
plenty of pizza for everybody, but we do count  RSVP's to estimate how
much to order.

In addition to Joe Wright's talk on RE's, we are starting to
experiment with some new additions to the meeting agenda.   This
month, I will introduce the first which is a quick overview of what
has happened in the Perl community in the past month.    Starting next
month, we will have a 5-minute book review using a book donated by
O'Reilly that the reviewer gets to keep.   I think Intermediate Perl
is still up for grabs for July.

Text Magic with Perl Regular Expressions

Perl gives you the power to make difficult tasks easy and regular
expressions are one of Perl's most powerful features, giving you the
power to find, manipulate, slice and dice text just the way you need
it.  This month's Perl Mongers meeting will focus on regular
expressions: how to write and tune them to get the results you need,
how to use the tools Perl offers, and future developments in Perl
regular expressions.

This month's presenter, Joe Wright, is a consultant at Priority Health
who spent 6 years wielding Perl for tool development and system
administration at BT (formerly Control Data) in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Under the guise of Just Wright Communications he also does freelance
writing and training in technical and presentation skills.
