[Phoenix-pm] meeting proposal

[Metz, Bobby W, WCS]

Well, I was going the idea below via the web page only to find company
security has placed web.archive.org on it's block list.  That said I
found something interesting...if you shorten Brock's url to
http://phoenix.pm.org/wiki/index.cgi?PerlMongersIdeas, it dumps some
output that looks suspiciously like Perl ;-).  Have a gander...

Anyway, I'd love to hear an overview by anyone whose done different
flavors of IPC and which they think works best, e.g. interrupt driven
passing of scalar data from child process to parent.

Bobby

I hear that July is a very popular time for phoenicians to vacation...
maybe thats an indicator for expected response. Hrm.

I'd love to go to OSCON (moreso than DEFCON I think) but can't 'cause
I'm switching apartments right about then :(. I like the idea of a group
trip though. What other things are coming up soon? Perl Whirl anyone?

I'd like to hear about Perl6::Contexts, if you're up to it. I wouldn't
mind talking about my ICFP entry (a collection of simple things --
nonbuffered IO, ad-hoc parsing technique, and Map.pm).
