From tom at eborcom.com Mon Sep 1 12:21:23 2008 From: tom at eborcom.com (Tom Hukins) Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2008 20:21:23 +0100 Subject: Technical Meeting: Monday 8th September 2008 Message-ID: <20080901192123.GA44129@eborcom.com> Milton Keynes Perl Mongers will hold our second technical meeting of 2008 at 7pm on Monday 8th September at the Open University in the same place as last time. We have various guest speakers coming to visit from lots of exciting places: Barbie from Birmingham will introduce Perl's test framework. Robbie Bow from Cambridge will tell us his thoughts on SQL and databases. Dave Cross from London will tell us about a topic of our choice as discussed recently on this list. We'll fill the remaining time with a few lightning talks. These talks last only 5 minutes, so they don't need slides or lots of preparation (but you can do both if you wish). Lightning talks offer a great opportunity for those having minimal experience of either Perl or presenting to share ideas or experience. Please let me know this week if you would like to present a lightning talk. Finally, remember to arrive at the OU for 7pm. Here's how to find us: First, find the OU campus as described at http://www3.open.ac.uk/contact/ Enter the campus (signposted Open University, not Open University East), via Brickhill Street (V10). Take the middle lane past Security (on the left), through the barriers, and then turn right on to Ring road East. Ahead you will see the road narrows to single lane on your side of the road, where there are no entry signs. Just prior to this is the entrance to a car park on the left (marked East parking extension on the campus map). Take this left turn and head to the top right (North West on the campus map) of the car park. The meeting is in Venables Building, specifically the section marked South East on the campus map. Take the path (marked in yellow on the campus map) East from the car park toward the centre of campus. Take a right under an archway in to the courtyard area bound by Venables South, East, and South East, keeping right (heading North East on the campus map), behind the building section marked South East. You will find a double door on your right, which is the entrance to the South East section of Venables Building. We'll see you there, as these are usually access controlled doors, so you will probably need to be let in. See you on the 8th, Tom From dave at dave.org.uk Mon Sep 1 13:39:53 2008 From: dave at dave.org.uk (Dave Cross) Date: Mon, 01 Sep 2008 21:39:53 +0100 Subject: Technical Meeting: Monday 8th September 2008 In-Reply-To: <20080901192123.GA44129@eborcom.com> References: <20080901192123.GA44129@eborcom.com> Message-ID: <48BC5319.2060107@dave.org.uk> Tom Hukins wrote: > Dave Cross from London will tell us about a topic of our choice as > discussed recently on this list.

For those interested, this will be split into 3 parts. TAP, writing tests with the recommended Test::Simple distribution and finally a look at some additional modules you can use to test distributions more extensively. Entitled 'Testing With Perl', it's roughly a 30 minute run through, with demos. It's a fairly gentle introduction to writing test suites in Perl, and only scratches the surface, but those that were interested in the testing party you guys previously organised, then it should be ideal to get you started.

So far we have a grand total of 0 lightning talks scheduled. Well, I was going to talk a little about libwww-perl and some of its new features. But apart from that, nothing. Now, I know it can feel quite nerve wracking talking to a group of people. So here's an incentive: everyone who mails me before midday on Saturday offering to present a talk can choose a Perl-related topic for which I shall prepare and present a talk on. No matter how scary, I'll do my best to come up with something interesting and prepare slides. We have time for six lightning talks, so this only needs three of you to take me up on my offer.

Well, if I do a talk it wouldn't be on Perl and I'll have to find time to put it together before then as I have nothing prepared. Something I did at university about 9 years ago was a research project into the state of holographic storage at the time. I had started to look at where it is now, but not done much research yet. I'd probably talk about what progress if any has happened between when I first looked at it and now, what the advantages of holographic storage are, the issues surrounding it, and why one holographic storage 'crystal' the size of a large school rubber (no funny jokes now!) should be enough for anyone ( :-p ). Alternatively, I could go over iptables, and the rules I've picked up from around the Net to block certain TCP/UDP attack vectors on my server(s), as well as IP lists I use to block known bad addresses. As I'm by no means an expert, this could quite possibly become rather interactive, with people making suggestions too... And last, but not least, I have beautiful pictures of my holiday in Austria - it'll give me an excuse to sort them out. :-) Any votes?

The funds raised from this venture will be used to fund my opulent lifestyle. At this point it's also worth plugging Ziya's helpful calendar again, linked to from the Web page, that exports feeds in various helpful formats. Now for the good news: the Web page contains links to the slides that I have. I plan to send the slide fairies round to collect slides from Barbie and Dave, but the tooth fairies claim prior art. I hope our lawyers can resolve the matter promptly. You probably already know where the Web page lives: http://miltonkeynes.pm.org/ If you have any questions about the slides, or the talks, please ask on the list: all this month's speakers subscribe. Finally, please let me know if you'd like to talk next time.

Sorry for the delay in following this up. Tom has kindly volunteered to extend his Logging talk, but I'm willing to hear from anyone else that would like to present a talk. Oliver and Peter seem likely candidates ;) If anyone else fancies doing a spot (whether a short 5min lightning talk or longer), please let me know. BTW Oliver, I think a formal talk based on your Catalyst List Framework Builder would go down very nicely. You might also want to consider that for LPW too if you're going :) Cheers, Barbie. -- Birmingham Perl Mongers Memoirs Of A Roadie _______________________________________________ MiltonKeynes-pm mailing list MiltonKeynes-pm at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/miltonkeynes-pm From pm at gavinwestwood.co.uk Tue Sep 23 00:14:47 2008 From: pm at gavinwestwood.co.uk (Gavin Westwood) Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2008 08:14:47 +0100 Subject: Meeting: Tuesday 30th September Message-ID: <48D89767.2010101@gavinwestwood.co.uk> It's that time again!

The header file used in our mdMatchup.i file is shown below. In our mdMatchup.i , we are using the module mdMatchupTest. We ran swig -c++ -perl mdMatchup.i and obtained mdMatchup.pm and mdMatchup_wrap.cxx. We read that SWIG Perl can handle C++ enumerations. But, when we use the enumerations in our test.pl program: #!perl.exe -w use strict; use mdMatchupTest; my $readwrite; $readwrite = mdMatchupTestc::new_mdMUReadWrite(); mdMatchupTestc::mdMUReadWrite_SetLicenseString($readwrite,"LL58JH2Y"); mdMatchupTestc::mdMUReadWrite_SetPathToMatchUpFiles($readwrite,"C:\\MatchupAPI\\Distribution"); if (mdMatchupTestc::mdMUReadWrite_InitializeDataFiles($readwrite) != $mdMatchupc::mdMUReadWrite_NoError ){ print( "Failed to Initialize mdMatchupTestc::mdMUReadWrite ", mdMatchupTestc::mdMUReadWrite_GetInitializeErrorString($readwrite). "\n"); } we get the Perl interprepter message : Name "mdMatchupc::mdMUReadWrite_NoError" used only once: possible typo at test.pl line 10 Use of uninitialized value in numeric ne (!=) at test.pl line 10. When we examine the mdMatchup.pm, we see that mdMatchupc::mdMUReadWrite_NoError looks like a string. An excerpt of mdMatchup.pm is shown below. Is there a correct way to use SWIG packages with C++ enumerations in our perl program?
