Hello,

Did anyone attend this meeting and take notes?  I really wanted to be there
but was unable to make it.  If anyone has a soft copy of what was covered, I
would really appreciate it.

Thank You,
Chuck Orr

[ I'm posting this for Tim. -C. ]

Please excuse me if you've seen this before, but for some reason, I didn't
receive this announcement myself, so I'm thinking maybe nobody did, so
the prudent choice is to re-post! 8-}

     Title: "Advanced Regular Expressions"

Larry Wall has some pretty neat tricks in store with Perl 6's
Regular Expressions, but Perl 5 regexes are still extremely useful
for all sorts of tasks. If you have a basic understanding of
regexes, come polish up and learn a few more tricks that will make
them even more useful.

Topics to be covered:

        - How the engine really works
        - Atomic principles
        - Decoding regexes
        - Back references
        - Lookahead and lookbehind
        - Nonbacktracking and why
        - Damian Conway's Regexp::Common package
        - and other horrors of cryptic regular expressions
