Message-ID: <1220829626.22602.11.camel@putnam.wgtn.cat-it.co.nz> Hi Mongers I've had a contact from someone who's looking for a Perl developer in Auckland - possibly a 4-6 month contract. If you fit the bill and are interested let me know and I'll send you the contact details.

Message-ID: <1220864652.6316.10.camel@hoiho> Hi Mongers The next meeting of Wellington.pm is this Tuesday (September 9th) which is tomorrow night as I write this but may be 'tonight' by the time you receive it. Dan Horne is going to tell us about his experiences with two IDEs: ActiveState's Komodo, and OptiPerl. Since Donovan's not quite ready with his Vim talk yet, I've got a backup plan that does not involve me talking but does involve bringing YAPC::Eu (Yet Another Perl Conference Europe) to Wellington in video form. The venue is slightly different - we're still in the same building but the meetings will be on level 3 from now on. 6:00pm Tuesday 9 September 2008 Level 3, The building formerly known as Eagle Technology House 150 Willis Street Wellington See you there.

I predict a side effect of the talk will be some die-hard vim users pimping out their vimrc files to emulate some of the cool features Dan showed off. The module I referred to for translating regexes to 'English' is YAPE::Regex::Explain (which in turn requires YAPE::Regex). They're not packaged for Debian but both install easily via dh-make-perl It translates this regex: /^200[78]\d{4}.log/ Into this explanation: NODE EXPLANATION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (?-imsx: group, but do not capture (case-sensitive) (with ^ and $ matching normally) (with . not matching \n) (matching whitespace and # normally): ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ^ the beginning of the string ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 200 '200' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [78] any character of: '7', '8' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- \d{4} digits (0-9) (4 times) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- . any character except \n ---------------------------------------------------------------------- log 'log' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ) end of grouping ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For those of you who want to follow up on some more of the YAPC::Eu conference talk videos the site is here ... http://yapc.tv/ The next meeting of Wellington.pm will be on Tuesday October 14th. We already have Andy lined up to talk on Perl Tidy. Let me know if you'd also like to volunteer to speak. See you next month Grant
