SPUG: Oct. Meeting: Intro to Perl and SPUG

[Tim Maher]

 SPUGsters:

    In addition to the topics listed below, I'd like to exhibit some
 interesting beginner-level "one-liners" provided by audience members,
 so please come prepared with your favorites.

    Also, if anybody would like to do a lighting talk on a Beginner's
level topic, you're welcome to do so.  In other words, I won't need all
the time for myself, so I'll be happy to share! 8-}

About the Speaker:
-----------------
Tim Maher has been teaching people how to use UNIX and its related
languages since 1980, first as a university professor of computer
science, later as a corporate trainer for the Bell System's
Western Electric division, and since 1986 as the founder and CEO
of Consultix, Inc. (one of the "Big Three" Perl training companies).

Tim is also the founder and leader of SPUG, which has been recognized
as one of the best Perl Users Groups on the planet.  This recognition
