SPUG: Meeting REMINDER -- Autrijus Tang - 20 July 2004

Thu Jul 15 15:11:48 CDT 2004

Autrijus will be talking about PAR, the Perl Archive Toolkit. You don't want
to miss it.

The talk slides are here:

   http://wagner.elixus.org/~autrijus/par-tutorial/start.html

but don't let that stop you from coming. Autrijus is in my opinion, the most
exciting Perl programmer I've met.

Cheers, Brian
