  Our monthly meeting at the usual time and place: 
  
  Tues Nov 18 6:15 - 8:15 pm 
  NYPC User Group 
  481 8 Ave, Suite 550 
  (Ramada New Yorker, West 34/35 Sts, Manhattan) 
  
  "Perl 5 to Perl 6" 
  First installment in a series (3-4 presentations) spread out over the 
  entire 8-month season, on making the transition from Perl 5 to Perl 6. 
  Series coordinated by Packy Anderson (main talk). 
  
  "What is Lua and Why Should Perl Developers Care?" (by Mark Canlas) 
  Lua, like Perl, is a high-level programming language. Like Perl 6, 
  Python, TCL, etc., it is one of the languages being targeted for 
  deployment on the Parrot virtual machine. So Perl programmers should 
  learn about Lua so that we can learn how it might contribute to the 
  solution of programming problems. We'll have a brief introduction to 
  Lua, getting us to "Hello World" and describing some of Lua's major 
  application areas. We'll then build Lua on Parrot and see if we can 
  get to "Hello World" there as well (opening talk).
