[VPM] Victoria Perl Mongers meeting: June 21

[Peter Scott]

Victoria.pm will meet at its regular date, time, and nearly the same 
place on Tuesday, June 21, 7pm, at UVic.  The location will be 
announced the day before.

Abram Hindle will cover:

   Making Chat bots and scripts with

	Net::IRC
	Net::OSCAR
	Irssi  - Scripts
	XChat - Scripts

   Successful Architectures and Patterns for developing bots.  Minor 
IRC details.

This sounds particularly useful and interesting to me - I have a 
backburned project to create an IRC bot for a help desk and one of 
Abram's previous talks on Parse::RecDescent was very helpful.  These 
days, IRC bots are the most ubiquitous examples of artificial 
intelligence to be found.  purl on #perl is a notorious example.

Other topics to be covered as time permits; make requests for anything 
particular.
