[Tim Maher/CONSULTIX]

           MAY 2000 Seattle Perl User's Group Meeting
      ------------------------------------------------------
     Topic: Intro. to Extending Perl with the C Language
   Speaker: Brian Ingerson, EpixTech
      Time: May 16th 2000 (Third Tuesday), 7pm-9pm
  LOCATION: Union Bank of California Bldg, 5th Floor Mtg Room
      Cost: Free
 
Brian Ingerson (b.ingerson at epixtech.com) will cover the basics of
writing Perl Modules in the C language.  Attendees are encouraged
to familiarize themselves with the concepts underlying Perl Modules,
and the UNIX "make" utility.  Prior experience with the C language
is helpful, but not necessary. Suggested reading includes chapters
18 and 20 from "Advanced Perl Programming", and the following
entries (accessed via the man or perldoc commands) from the online
Perl documentation:
        perlmod, perlmodinstall, perlxs, perlxstut, perlguts,
        perlapi, ExtUtils::MakeMaker, and h2xs

Brian will explain the relevant UNIX concepts, write a couple of
"hello, world" type programs, and demonstrate a meatier extension
of an existing API.

Admission is free and open to the general public.  Attendees are
encouraged to arrive at the building's 5th & Madison door by 6:45pm,
which might be impassable at other times.

Parking

Parking is available in an underground garage beneath the building,
at the price of $4 for the entire 4pm - 11pm period. Additional
parking is available at other ground-level lots and on the street.

Pre/Post-Meeting Gathering Place

Come and pass the pre-meeting time with other SPUGsters at the
Rock Bottom brewpub, at 1333 5th Ave., (206) 623-3070, in
downtown Seattle.  Look to your left, near the bar or pool table,
for bizarre yet strangely appealing characters wielding laptops
and hearty ales.
