From grantm at web.co.nz Thu May 10 17:08:18 2001 From: grantm at web.co.nz (Grant McLean) Date: Thu Aug 5 00:24:10 2004 Subject: Next Perl Mongers: July 4th Message-ID: Hi Mongers Sorry about the delayed report. A small but committed group at last Wednesday's meeting. My pick list of essential modules is up on the web site. This may be of use to new Perl programmers trying to make sense of the huge array of code available on CPAN: http://wellington.pm.org/archive/200105/index.html Next Meeting: ============ Meeting: Wellington Perl Mongers Start Time: 5:30pm Wednesday 2nd May Location: The Web Limited Level 6 BP House Cnr Customhouse Qy & Waring Taylor St Chilled beverages supplied by The Web Limited Volunteers for speaking welcome. There are a number of suggested topics up on the web site, but the world is your oyster (this is Perl after all). New Book in the Library ======================= Manning publishing have been kind enough to donate a copy of: Title: Data Munging with Perl Author: David Cross ISBN: 1-930110-00-6 Publishers link: http://www.manning.com/cross/index.html I have read it and will be posting a review soon. Overall impressions: pretty good beginner/intermediate level info, remarkably useful 'reference' section in the back, small number of pages (not intimidating at all), not too clear on its target market. Loan enquiries are welcome. Our other library book 'Network Programming with Perl' by Lincoln Stein is still awaiting a reviewer.
