  From: James E Keenan  
  Subject: Perl Seminar NY This Tuesday May 20 
  To: perlsemny@yahoogroups.com, ny@lists.pm.org 
  
  We'll have our final meeting of our 2007-08 season in 3 parts as 
  follows: 
  
  Tuesday May 20 
  6:15 pm 
  NYPC User Group 
  481 8th Avenue, Suite 550 
  (Ramada New Yorker Hotel, btw West 34 & 35 Sts, Manhattan) 
  
  Agenda: 
  I.  Debunking Myths about Perl 
  
  This talk aims to give Perl users some ammunition to debunk some of 
  the myths about Perl: 
  * hard to read 
  * hard to test 
  * hard to find programmers 
  * no jobs available 
  * dead 
  
  *We* know these are myths, but it's helpful to practice the arguments 
  needed to refute them.  We'll be channeling Steve Lembark and Tim 
  Bunce on this one. 
  
  II.  Lightning Talks 
  
  So far we have these 5-minute talks scheduled: 
  
  David Golden:  The Oslo Accords on Perl QA and Testing 
  David Golden:  Current Status of Vanilla/Strawberry Perl 
  Glenn Maciag:  Regex Stump the Chumps 
  Arthur Goldstein:  Parse::Stallion 
  Morrie Siegel:  Recursive Regexes in Perl 5.10 
  
  
  III.  And since this is our last meeting of the season, we'll adjourn 
  afterwards to Stout on West 33 St between 6th and 7th Avenues to 
  celebrate Perl's continued (20+ years) life.
