Missing Monger Groups

posted by davorg on 2005.09.29 18:10   Printer-friendly
Over the last few weeks I've been trying to track down all of the Perl Monger groups in order to ensure that the information on the groups list is accurate and up to date. There are, however, still a large number of groups that haven't responded to any of my emails. If you are a member of any of the groups listed here then can you please ask your group leader to contact me.

News: Perlmeme.org - a Site for Perl Beginners

posted by davorg on 2005.09.29 16:22   Printer-friendly
Shlomi Fish writes "There's a new web-site called perlmeme.org. It aims to answer the question "Where can I learn about Perl?" and provides FAQs, HOWTOs and Tutorials for beginners. It aims to provide more beginner-friendly documentation than the core Perl or CPAN documentation. The perlmeme.org people are always looking for new material and for help with the site. If you want to help, have material which you believe may be suitable or at least want to give some input head over to the web-site workers' page over at SourceForge, join the mailing list, checkout the source, etc."

cog writes "The recordings from the talks at YAPC::EU::2005 are slowly falling into http://perl-hackers.net/YAPC-05/ (mirror1). When everything is done, there should be two versions of each talk, a smaller one and a bigger one (apart from some talks that were lost). Please try to be nice to the servers."

We'll start dropping by around 21:30, for beers and conversation. If you have a Perl t-shirt, this might be a good opportunity to wear it." Update: 09/27 15:49 GMT by P : It's September, not October.

Another week of business as usual. The 5.8.8 progesses steadily, bugs are found in POD, people post ways of making perl do the wrong thing, and Test::More is released.

posted by rafael on 2005.09.20 4:09   Printer-friendly
Nicholas Clark announced the plan for perl 5.8.8, so it was only fitting that someone should post a question asking how to compile 5.004. Elsewhere there continued to be lots of discussion of VMS, carrying on from last week. All told, a fairly busy week with lots of single post threads, which made summarising a bit difficult.
