We are honored to have local Perl expert and OSCON presenter Eric
Wilhelm and visiting OSCON keynote presenter Paul Fenwick talk aobut
gems you may have been missing in Perl 5 and 6.
Eric will present an overview of the Perl 6 project, a snapshot of
recent development, how to install Rakudo Perl 6, and samples of what
you can do with Rakudo Perl 6 now.
Paul writes: Awesome things have been happening in Perl recently; so
many that even if you've been paying close attention, you may have
missed a few. In this talk we'll examine some of the coolest recent
technologies for Perl programmers, including:
* Overhauling Perl's Object Oriented framework with Moose.
* Making everything a first-class object with autobox.
* Slashing your error handling code with autodie.
* Building fast, readable and reusable regular expressions with Perl
5.10.
* Bundling and building stand-alone applications using PAR, the Perl
Archiver.
* Astonishingly good profiling with Devel::NYTProf.
* Playing MineSweeper automatically with App::SweeperBot.
Thank you Brian Martin for coordinating this event while Michael is out
of town.
