[Pdx-pm] PGXN: It's CPAN for PostgreSQL

[David E. Wheeler]

Fellow Perl Mongers,

On Thursday night, I'll be giving a talk for the Portland PostgreSQL User Group (PDXPUG) on PGXN, my implementation of something like CPAN for PostgreSQL. Yes, you can write and distribute modules for the database! Interested? Site is here:

  http://pgxn.org/

And the talk details are below.

See you there?

Best,

David
