As yet, we don't have anyone lined up to speak so I'm very keen to hear from anyone who would like to do a talk or suggest a topic.

Nobody has stepped up to do a talk so I'm hoping to encourage a little bit more engagement with this idea: Script Spotlight ================ Briefly tell us about a script you've written and use regularly. Things you might talk about: * What problem it solves - how it makes your life better * An interesting feature of the code * Ideas you have for making it better * What made it super easy (e.g.: a CPAN module, a feature of Perl, etc.) * Did you write your script in Perl - why/why not? I think if we can get a few people to talk about one or two of their scripts it will make for an interesting session. If you can't immediately think of a candidate script then here are some places to look to jog your memory: * your $HOME/bin directory * /usr/local/bin * your cgi-bin directory * scripts called from cron jobs * scripts called from your editor * scripts attached to a hot key * Nagios checks See you tomorrow evening - with your script :-) Cheers Grant On Mon, 2017-08-07 at 09:24 +1200, Grant McLean wrote: > Hi Mongers > > The August meeting of Wellington Perl Mongers is on next Tuesday (the > 15th). > > As yet, we don't have anyone lined up to speak so I'm very keen to hear > from anyone who would like to do a talk or suggest a topic. > > Cheers > Grant > _______________________________________________ > Wellington-pm mailing list > Wellington-pm at pm.org > http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/wellington-pm From davenportnz at gmail.com Mon Aug 14 18:55:03 2017 From: davenportnz at gmail.com (Peter Davenport) Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 13:55:03 +1200 Subject: [Wellington-pm] Meeting tomorrow evening In-Reply-To: <1502666098.4806.55.camel@putnam.wgtn.cat-it.co.nz> References: <1502054666.4806.12.camel@putnam.wgtn.cat-it.co.nz> <1502666098.4806.55.camel@putnam.wgtn.cat-it.co.nz> Message-ID: <8f5c14a0-2d48-d272-e47a-74ab37ba2f63@gmail.com> HI, I use a number of scripts, mostly to aquire and process seismic data. They are generally written in Perl with calls to external routines, often written in Fortran, to do numerical processing. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the meeting today as I have another place I have to be.
