[Purdue-pm] Perl Mongers Tuesday is NOW

[Rick Westerman]

Today we have a very nice report from Joe on the recent YAPC -- bottom 
line: nice talks and very nice people.

Then Mark gave a short report on the state of Perl 6 and the lack of 
documentation -- bottom line: not ready for prime time.

I went through the 'data presentation' challenge problem and my 
Template::Toolkit solution -- bottom line: TT is harder to get correct 
than I thought.

Dave then presented his Javascript/CSS solution to the challenge problem 
-- bottom line:  looks nice; are there JS templates that could be used?

Next month.  More on Perl 6, Derrick's and my talks on Taverna and 
Galaxy, more on the challenge problem.
