[VPM] Victoria Perl Mongers Meeting tomorrow, Tuesday October 18

[Peter Scott]

Victoria.pm will meet at its regular date and time at UVic tomorrow, 
Tuesday, October 18, 7pm at a *new location*:

  The Engineering Office Wing, room 450.  See 
http://www.uvic.ca/buildings/eow.html .

That's fairly distant from our usual location (which, hopefully, we 
will return to in the future).

Clarke Brunsdon will talk about a project of his using POE.  That's the 
Perl Object Environment, an extremely cool and powerful tool for 
asynchronous operations.  If you want to write an IRC bot that 
simultaneously tails log files and looks for stock market changes, POE 
is for you.  POE is to event-driven programming what the Tower of 
London is to jewelry.

If we get a double-digit attendance I will give away my copy of Higher 
Order Perl by Mark Jason Dominus to a randomly selected supplicant, 
provided they don't mind that my kittens got to it first and the cover 
has a few teeth marks...

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