So far, I think we're a subset of GOLUM, but I can see some topics of Perl interest that wouldn't fully intersect. Some topics we could address: 1. Intermediate/advanced OO in Perl -- Brock's talk a couple months ago at GOLUM was pretty cool. There are one or two other things that could probably be addressed, like exception handling, and cool features of Perl that work well with OO (like using anonymous subs to build dispatch tables and install callbacks). 2.

Why, just yesterday I was messing around with CGI.pm... actually looking at manipulation of cookies. While I found what I wanted, seems there is a different implementation of cookie stuff in LWP - one that covers the newer draft cookie standard. I'd love for someone to explain the differences to me between the two. Or at least I could show how to use the old style. As for meetings - once a month? Break out session from the GOLUM meeting?

Maybe it would be good to have two presentations per meeting, like GOLUM, but one that's geared toward beginners or of general interest, and one that's more advanced. To address Jim's question, I think we should try having the meeting in close association with the GOLUM meeting, probably right before (though it might be interesting to hold at the Flying Saucer, too :). I could see where that might be a logistics problem, but we could try it and decide if it's cool. If not -- well, at least we're meeting, and we can decide where to go from there. If we really wanted to get on the ball, I could probably have a half hour or so of "getting started with Perl / why Perl is cool" ready for Thursday night, to do before the GOLUM meeting.

To give you an idea, I'm having trouble working past the first few chapters of Learning Perl, just because I need relevant (to me) examples. Anyway, seeing a really basic real-world example helped a lot. On that note, is there an archive somewhere of simple, almost brain-dead scripts, heavy on the regular expressions?

Apparently most of the scripts in that archive are quite poorly written.

You might want to take a look at the Perl Cookbook. It's a book of "how to do stuff with Perl". The examples are almost all short and straightforward.

Do you guys want to have a Memphis.pm meeting before the next GOLUM meeting? We had suggested once a month. I was thinking I'd do a presentation on taint checking, with a digression into the "poison null byte" trick discovered by Rain Forest Puppy. I can do this at the next meeting. Is there a baseball game Thursday night? Since those start at 7:00, downtown traffic gets a little hairy around the time we want to be arriving, assuming we want to start 30 minutes ahead of GOLUM. I've got perl and mod_perl on memphis.pm.org, and apparently MySQL as well. (Somehow I think doing a Perl Mongers site in PHP would be sacrilegious.)

We can certainly have one - in fact, if you would like, I can reserve a separate room - or just let you take over another conference room if you'd like to continue talking about Perl. Let me know - securing another box and a projector takes a little notice. > Is there a baseball game Thursday night?
