Toronto Perl Mongers - Audio Archive
Fulko Hew writes "The Toronto Perl Mongers have been recording many of the talks presented at their meetings. Their Audio Archive contains MP3 files and slides.
The most recent talks are from the July 2005 meeting: 'Perl Best Practices,' a book review and discussion by Tom Legrady; and 'The Asterisk PBX and Perl' by Simon Ditner."
News: POD Indexing Project
itub writes "The Pod indexing project has the goal of making the Perl documentation more accessible and searchable. The two main specific objectives are: adding relevant keywords throughout the Perl core documentation using the X<> POD code; and Creating tools for generating and searching the index resulting from these keywords, including an improved perldoc with keyword searching support. It is expected that websites such as perldoc.perl.org, search.cpan.org, and cpan.uwinnipeg.ca will be able to use the resulting
index (if they want to). For an example using the current index, see PerldocDemo. Get involved by joining the perl-documentation mailing list (send a blank message to perl-documentation-subscribe@perl.org), reading the indexer resources, choosing a POD to index, and adding your name to Wiki."

News: Search Source Code from Books
Gregory Cosmo Haun writes "After some great feedback at OSCON, I'm happy to announce that codefetch.com upgraded to production capacity last weekend and we are ready for your clicks. Search for source code snippets from dozens of books. You'll get syntax-highlighted examples written by Perl experts, and links to the related perl docs (at perl.org, of course). And no advertising other than the blurb for the book that answered your query."
News: Perl and PHP Mashup
Theory writes "As part of the developer release of Bricolage 1.9.0 Punkin last week, I blogged about some of the cool new features, including native PHP 5 templating. How does it work? It's thanks to the new PHP::Interpreter module, which embeds a PHP interpreter in Perl. The upshot is that this module can be used to execute PHP code that can reach back into Perl to use Perl modules. For PHP developers, CPAN envy is a thing of the past."

YAPC::AU/OSDC 2005 Call for Papers
Simon Taylor writes "Last year the Melbourne Perl Mongers group set forth to hold Australia's first ever YAPC. However we then changed it to be Australia's first Open Source Developers' Conference, covering Perl, Python, PHP and many Open Source tools. This conference was a huge success, drawing 45 speakers for 60 talks. Dr. Damian Conway and Nathan Torkington provided high quality keynotes alongside Australian Open Source advocate Con Zymaris, Python release manager Anthony Baxter, and PHP and MySQL author Luke Welling. Other prominent speakers include Abigail, Baden Hughes and Nigel McFarlane. This year's conference promises to be even better and is running in Melbourne from the 5th - 7th December 2005. Talk proposals are due 19th August."
YAPC::NA::2006 Call For Venues
KM writes "With the close of another successful YAPC::NA, it is now
time to throw open the call for venues for next year's (2006) YAPC::NA
conference.
You can get details on what a YAPC venue needs at http://www.yapc.org/venue-reqs.txt. When making your proposal, in addition to venue information and possible dates, do please make sure to include details on airport locations, local public transit (as well as transit to the venue from the airport!), local cultural attractions, and accommodation information. (See the docs for more details) The more information you provide, within reason, the better.
As with last year, we are also making available the different categories, and weight for those categories, for prospective proposers. Please visit http://yapc.org/yapc-crit.txt for more information on this. This shows the catgeories under which venues will be reviewed to be able to bring another great conference to you, at the lowest cost possible.
Send the proposals to yapc-venues AT yetanother DOT org. Proposals are due by Friday, September 2 2005, with a decision due on September 16 2005. (If the summertime vacation blahs catch everyone out we may extend the deadline. Don't count on that) This gives about N weeks, which should be manageable, and should still fit within most college and university scheduling requirements.
This is your chance to bring a YAPC to your town. It's a very rewarding experience, and is a great way to give to the Perl community."
