    Meeting Date: Tuesday, 19 February 2008
    Meeting Time: 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.

    ====================================================

This coming Tuesday, February 19th, is the next meeting of the THE
SEATTLE
PERL USERS GROUP.  

Do you fear the void, the great undefined value, the null? If so, you
can relate to SPUG's fears for this month. As of one week ago, THERE
WAS NO ONE SCHEDULED TO GIVE A TALK! Gryphon managed to shanghai me
into presenting at the last minute. Please help us avoid this
situation. You've been thinking of giving a talk: what your company is
doing with Perl, or some neat little thing that you've worked on, or a
discussion of coding styles and the one correct way to write Perl
programs. Please, folks, hesitate no longer. Schedule yourself for a
talk. We are an easy going group and giving a talk at SPUG is a great
introduction to public speaking. You don't need to be a Perl guru, you
just need to enjoy the language.

Anyway. This month I'll be talking about the Perl Database Interface,
DBI.pm. This is a moderate level talk, based on a class that I wrote
and used to teach for Consultix, Inc. We'll talk about what
relational databases are, and how to make use of them through Perl, a
very handy skill.

================

Thanks again to all the SPUG members that show up at meetings or
participate on the list to make the group worthwhile in the first place,
and all the JAPHs out there for just being.
