I wanted to follow up on a few things I mentioned last night. First, [1] and [2] are some recent threads from the perl5-porters mailing list discussing problems with the ~~ operator. [3] shows the scary grid we were talking about last night. Second, John Siracusa wrote a fantastic review of Lion for Ars Technica. It's quite long, but well worth reading if you want an in-depth analysis of what's changed and where Apple's going in the future. He covers both high-level UI issues (the new gray-on-grayer color scheme) and low-level changes such as the file system and memory management. The article begins at [4], and [5] is where he talks about how sandboxing works. As John pointed out last night, it's not clear how that prevents a malicious app from calling system functions like open(2) or unlink(2) directly.

I'm a fan of vetting talks at PM groups before giving them to larger audiences. Can we convince anyone else to talk? Mark, I see you've uploaded a few CPAN modules here and there; care to tell us about them? It doesn't have to be anything spectacular, really: just enough to generate interest in your projects. -- Thanks and best regards, Chris Nehren From mjg at phoenixtrap.com Wed Aug 17 04:45:27 2011 From: mjg at phoenixtrap.com (Mark Gardner) Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 07:45:27 -0400 Subject: [Philadelphia-pm] Can we go with Sept. 12 for the next meeting?
