Next Purdue Perl Mongers meeting October 29th.

Tommy Montgomery montgomt@purdue.edu is the new Purdue Perl Mongers president. I have been the acting president but can't be the official president because I'm not a student and for now at least we're a Purdue student organization.

Mark Senn gave a Prosper Demo and showed how to improve an existing Perl program at tonight's meeting. He also talked about Perl 6 some.

Upcoming meetings: These exact dates are tentative and subject to change for now.

They'll be an official message confirming exactly what, when, and where they will be later.

I'm going to try and get a smaller more comfortable room for future meetings since tonight's attendance was just 5.

October 15: Dave Jacoby talks about his RSS stuff

October 29: Mark Senn talks about Perl 5.8 threads

Next Perl Mongers meeting Tuesday,
   October 1, at 6pm in MSEE B-12.

You're invited. It's free. Really.

The first ten minutes of the meeting will be a demonstration of "Prosper". Prosper is a free and open alternative to Microsoft PowerPoint.
Built on LaTeX, it is especially good at displaying mathematics.

During the remaining 50 minutes I'll show how I'd "improve" an existing
Perl 5 program and show how one could use new features coming in
Perl 6 for the program.

Mark Senn

Change is around the corner, can you feel it?
