[Boston.pm] Tech meeting Tuesday - Mark Fowler - in WALTHAM

[Bill Ricker]

Mark Fowler, "Perl Advent Calendar Redux"

For the October 9 gathering of Boston Perl Mongers we'll be hosted by
MaxMind  in Waltham, instead of our usual MIT
location. Our speaker will be Mark Fowler.

(Boston.PM is happy to accept this offer of hosting from MaxMind, and would
welcome hosting offers from other organizations in Eastern MA. It gives
those who live further West or otherwise are unable/unwilling to travel to
the city a chance to attend.

We're also looking for presenters. You don't have to travel to Boston.
Remote presenters welcome. Have a module you want to promote, or a
conference talk you'd like to "beta test" or give again, see our presenter's
guide .)
About the talk:

A resource for beginners and advanced Perl users alike, the Perl Advent
calendar features humorous stories featuring Santa's Elves and the fun they
have with Perl. This talk will talk about all the exciting things that
occurred in last year's calendar. Somewhat akin to twenty four two minute
lighting talks, it'll expose you to a wide range of topics.

(Boston.pm's Jerrad Pierce was the first Perl Advent interregnum editor
after Mark's inaugural stint. We've not been involved in the 2nd
interregnum or the Restoration, so it will be very good to hear this!)

Location details:

14 Spring St, Waltham, MA 02451

Free
parking across the street.

It's accessible from the Express Bus / Bus network and short walk from
Commuter Rail (transit map
),
or you can carpool with Bill from the city!

General meeting info:

Tech Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month.

Talk begins at 7:30.

RSVP for count encouraged but not required, to bill.n1vux at gmail.com or
Boston-PM list , by 4pm Tuesday.

experience in running teams developing, maintaining, and improving
innovative internet based technologies, currently working for MaxMind

September 11th: Ricky Morse - Perl 6 and Typesetting Formal Announcements

After ringing a bell for 45 minutes to 3 hours, you kind of want
people to know you did it, and what you did it for. Ricky uses Perl 6
to replace a manual process for creating ?half-sheets? to post in the
Old North ringing room, for tourists to see.

Ricky sensibly doesn't want to retype or copy-paste what's already
somewhere on-line, so he uses Perl 6 to pull the data from a database
as XML, and then typeset the half sheets. This is using Perl6, GROFF,
and C6PAN Modules Template::Mustache, XML::XPath, and HTTP::User
Agent.

Location: MIT Building E-51, Room E51-372, 2 Amherst Street, Cambridge, MA

NOTE: Parking Alert.
Recent changes in MIT Parking no longer officially allow un-permitted
parking after-hours, and parking lot under repair.

Tech Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at MIT
building E51, Sloan School Tang Center [not the other Tang building!]
nearer to Kendall Sq than Mass Ave.

Talk begins at 7:30.
Refreshments in the hallway prior.
RSVP (to Bill or On List) for count encouraged but not required, by 4pm Tuesday.

Re: [Boston.pm] Tech Meeting Tuesday Feb 13th - Commercial Game Design with Modern Perl !

[Bill Ricker via Boston-pm]

I intended to play the 1:06:00 long version of the same talk from
Amsterdam Perl Conference (which starts with the Formerly Known as
YAPC joke bombing).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmLwYLSmTSs

So if you want 100% more Ovid & Tau Station with <= 50% overlap ...
e.g. "Gender is complicated"

I thought what he said about Test::Class::Moose and experimental
Test::Class::Moose::History was very interesting, along with
bootstrapping up to declarative programming with subject=>verb=>object
triples was interesting.

[Boston.pm] Tech Meeting Tuesday Feb 13th - Commercial Game Design with Modern Perl !

[Bill Ricker via Boston-pm]

Let's try this again ... last month we tried, but it being IAP,
we didn't actually have a room.
(Minor admin oversight. We did have a nice chat over pizza.)

February 13th, 2nd Tuesday -- Ovid builds a MMORPG in Perl
7/7:30pm, MIT E51-732, Amherst St, Cambridge.
Amsterdam Perl Conference 2017 video screening

Noted Perl personality Ovid (Curtis Poe) has built a Space-exploration
on-line role-playing-game called "Tau Station" in Perl. It's even a
business. In this talk, he describes the games industry and how Modern
Perl makes building his game fun.

Original Abstract -
"With Tau Station, we're building a sci-fi universe in a browser.
However, in object oriented design, what does the "single
responsibility principle" mean when your combat armor serves as armor,
a weapon, and medkit?
"And when many different behaviors have long chains of duplicated
requirements (for example, do you have enough money to buy a medkit,
or refuel your ship, or repair your blaster, or bribe a guard), how do
you handle that in an efficient an easy to read manner?
"And how do you avoid god objects when your character in the universe
drives almost everything?
"This talk explores some of the techniques we've developed for Tau
Station to easily model complex behaviors."

We'll have our usual community discussion after (or by hitting pause
as needed) in lieu of speaker Q

NOTE: Parking Alert. Recent changes in MIT Parking Dept web pages
(parking , visitors, public ) no longer allow un-permitted parking
after-hours.
(This is a natural response to several other East Campus parking lots
being eaten by new building sites for campus expansion.)
Only legit parking is Cambridge meters (late hours! and several blocks
lost to construction), free spaces on Memorial Drive (allow time for
circling), and paid lot/garages.
Come by Train, Bus, Bicycle, or Foot if you can!
(Parking at MBTA Garages are convenient to T and not overpriced,
unlike most in-town garages.)
Also, construction detour is even longer than last time if driving,
Wadsworth to/from Mem Drive & Amherst St to Amess both closed, only
access by car is Wadsworth to/from Main St east-bound.

Tech Meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every month at MIT

Re: [Boston.pm] Tech Meeting Tuesday - Perl 5.26 released - Parking Alert - now with abstract !

[Bill Ricker]

Tech Meeting

June 13th. 7:00/7:30pm E51-376

New features, changes in Perl 5.26

Join us to see what's new in the latest Perl. Using slides prepared by
brian d foy for an AmsterdamX.pm presentation, we'll go over the
highlights of new features and changes in Perl 5.26, including the
potential disruptive change of removing the current directory (.) from
the @INC module search path. We'll supplement the slides with the
official Perl Delta (change log) document, and other online sources
where more depth is required. The talk will be an open discussion
format, with Bill Ricker leading us through the slides, but plenty of
opportunity for the audience to ask questions, or offer opinion, and
in some cases we'll try some live demos of the new features.

(Reading in context, Hosted => given a paid voucher that hosting Dept
buys from Parking Dept, so i don't think how we get our rooms counts
as "hosted" with Parking.)

Change here is that permits for _any_ lot now valid in _all_ lots
after 2:30; previously permits were _not_ required per website after 5
and in reality after 3, but now no.
Parking is at risk. Cambridge meters and the pay lots and garages are
the only safe options.

[Bill Ricker]

Ricky Morse, Digital pack-ratting for Tumblr : (Perl 5 and Perl 6)
Tues, Apr 11th, 2017, 7ish Room E51-376

"I’m a bit of a digital packrat, so I will be showing a tool that I
developed to help me hoard Tumblr meme posts.
As a bonus, just for this talk I wrote something in Perl 6 that does a
similar task."

(So if you're looking for ways to capture unstructured (no API) data
from the web with Perl, this talk is for you.)

Ricky Morse has been using Perl for various things since the late 90s.

NOTE - the former overflow parking is mostly gone.
There is another lot on Hayward that may take a few cars ...

Re: [Boston.pm] Tech meeting Tuesday 7/12 - CPAN Contribution live Demo / hack

[Bill Ricker]

Our ?biennial? hackathon to support our adopted Damian module,
Config::Std is our July topic.

• https://metacpan.org/release/Config-Std
• https://github.com/n1vux/Config-Std-Perl

We have a new old  bug -- prior deprecation of literal '{' becomes
fatal in 5.25 dev release for 5.26, coming in 2017.
   https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=114342
So this *needs* fix this year.

If there are other RT tickets we can handle, great !

You'll want to perlbrew a 5.25 or blead-perl if you want to play along.

Re: [Boston.pm] Tech Meeting Tuesday Apr 9th, Embedded Perl with Federico, 7, MIT E51-376

[Greg London]

 Federico Lucifredi continues his quest to build a hardware-assisted
 automagic hard-drive wiper, using perl in an embedded device. *Shiny
 hardware! Demo! Code*!

Federico,

It was getting late, so I didn't want to throw in another
tangent for how to write your code. But I was thinking you
could replace your printline() function with a closure.

Instead of doing this over and over:

printline($var1,\$y,text,font,$size);

You could take $y and put it inside a lexical block
then make a printline closure that uses $y
(basically, it's a global tothe subroutine, but the
lexical block means no one outside the block can
see $y or muck with it.

Then you don't have to keep passing in \$y every call.

The second, minor bit, is to reorder your parameters
a bit so that the things that change the most are first,
and the things that are usually one value are last.
Then you can take advantage of default values.

The code might look something like this:

# using dummy stubs, cause  I don't remember how your code
# came up with these values
sub calculate_initial_value{return 4;}

sub offset_value{return 8;}

my $printline;

{ # lexical scope hides $y from everyone outside the scope.

my $y = calculate_initial_value();

$printline = sub{

my($text,$size,$font)=@_;
$size||=8;# default value
$font||=normal; # default value;

$y=$y+offset_value();

print text is '$text', size is '$size', font is '$font', y is '$y'\n;

};

} # end lexical scope

#Now call the closure, and you don't have ot pass in $y
#and you don't have to pass in default values

$printline-(hello);
$printline-(world, 6);
$printline-(Bye, 4, bold);

To me this looks like an example of where we suffer by not having OO
truly baked into the language. It's a pretty natural fit for this
problem, but not the first thing people shout out, because we tend to
want to keep small scripts simple and procedural, and not bother with
the overhead of OO.

package Thermal::Printer;

sub new {
  ...
  if (!$args{context})
  my $surface = Cairo::ImageSurface-create(...);
  $args{context} = Cairo::Context-create($surface);
  }
  ...
}
...

package main;

  my $printer = Thermal::Printer-new(
font = $font, # default
size = $size, # default
  );
  ...
  $printer-write($text);
  $printer-font($other_font)-size($other_size)-write($more_text);
  ...

That particular example has font and size as object attributes, which
you can update to alter from their initial condition, and then they'll
persist with the new value until altered again. Alternatively you could do:

$printer-write($text, font = $other_font, size = $other_size);

to override defaults for just that one write() call. Both options could
be implemented without conflict.

The OO approach gives you a cleaner syntax, and keeps all the internal
housekeeping details (context, position) hidden within the object.


   my($text,$size,$font)=@_;

Federico mentioned dislike of the subroutine argument declaration in
Perl. How about:

Meh. I don't blame that on perl's lack of builtin OO.

I've pasted an OO version and the closure version of my script below.
They're nearly identical. they both take about the same amount of
lines of code. Perl's bolt-on version of classes can fix this
about as easily as perl's closure stuff can fix it.

The problem is I'm not thinking of this script as an OO script.
I suppose one could imagine a class call HD_Label and every
object is a specific label, but I'm not entirely convinced that
that would actually be an improvement.

Given how short the script is, I wasn't even really worried about
$y being passed in by reference every call to printline.
Federico pointed it out as something that annoyed him.
I solved that particular problem with minimal modification to the
rest of his code.

If this were a much larger script, I might suggest rearchitecthing
it from the ground up, converting it from procedural to object
oriented, but it was short enough that I shrugged it off.

What I was left with at the end of the evening was that wiping
a drive this way isn't really secure for data you care about.
It would seem that a drill press with a large bit to drill
a couple holes in the platter at different radii, and
then drill a hole right through the bearing so it can't spin
without grinding, would be the better solution.

So, the printline( \$y  thingy was more a minor afterthought in my mind.

Greg


Here is the OO version:


{

package printline;

sub calculate_initial_value{return 4;}

sub offset_value{return 8;}

sub new{
my $obj={
yval=calculate_initial_value(),
};

return bless($obj,'printline');
}

sub print{
my $obj=shift(@_);
my($text,$size,$font)=@_;
$size||=8;
$font||=normal; # default value;

$obj-{yval}+=offset_value();

print text is '$text', size is '$size', font is '$font', y is '.
($obj-{yval}). '\n;

};

}

my $pl = printline-new();

$pl-print(hello);
$pl-print(world, 6);
$pl-print(world, 4, bold);




Here is the closure version:



sub calculate_initial_value{return 4;}

sub offset_value{return 8;}

my $printline;

{

my $y = calculate_initial_value();

$printline = sub{

my($text,$size,$font)=@_;
$size||=8;
$font||=normal; # default value;

$y=$y+offset_value();

print text is '$text', size is '$size', font is '$font', y is '$y'\n;

};

}

$printline-(hello);
$printline-(world, 6);
$printline-(world, 4, bold);

Nice that you fleshed out the examples a bit further.

 Given how short the script is...

But that's my point. The default, especially with a short script,
becomes procedural.

I certainly don't advocate dogmatic use of OO. There are lots of cases
where procedural stuff is more appropriate.

It just seems that we naturally gravitate to procedural in Perl, until
we hit some threshold, and then say, oh, I ought to be using OO for
this. In other languages, where OO is fully integrated, you start out
thinking in OO terms, and then possibly simplify to procedural, if
that's what really works best for the problem.

Never underestimate the impact of convenience - even if the differences
are subtle - on what a person will choose when weighing options.


 Perl's bolt-on version of classes can fix this
 about as easily as perl's closure stuff can fix it.

The closure version doesn't scale. You can't stick it in a library and
call it from multiple places without stepping on things.

The natural response is, well that doesn't matter for this trivial use
case. But if the coding effort is about the same either way, then why
not write it in the first place in a way that could easily be
cut-and-pasted into its own library later?

It's because of the impression (at least for those of us coding Perl
since the 80's) that there is extra effort required for the OO approach,
even if in actuality, as you demonstrated, there isn't much difference
at all.

I do not agree with this assertion.  I've seen closure based solutions
and OO versions both scale, and both fail.  They are appropriate for
different problems, and different designs.  But as long as you know
what they are (and aren't) good at, you can choose either.

Speaking personally, I tend to prefer code that is heavy on closures
to code that is heavy on OO.  But that's a matter of taste.

 But that's my point. The default, especially with a short script,
 becomes procedural.

Well, I assume it varies from person to person,
and the reason my default is procedural is because
I've got about two decades of procedural programming
under my belt, and only 5 or 10 of the last years
has some smattering of OO laid over it.

It's what I'm familiar with.

I assume kids these days growing up on a plethora
of object oriented languages will have more tendancy
to come up with OO solutions. Because they're familiar
with it.

One could probably argue that my choice of perl may
be unduly influenced more by the fact that I know
perl and less by whether or not perl itself is actually
the best language for the problem I'm looking to solve.

My default, for almost anything that doesn't
have a specific language requirement is to use perl.

 and OO versions both scale, and both fail.  They are appropriate for
 different problems, and different designs.  But as long as you know
 what they are (and aren't) good at, you can choose either.

I'd agree. I've done quite a few closure constructors like this myself:

sub constructor {
  my($name,$count)=@_;
  my $closure=sub{
 $count++;
 print incremented $name to $count\n;
  };
  return $closure;
}

This sort of thing returns a variable that acts like an object
as far as I'm concerned. And it has zero linguistic overhead.

To do that in a class, you have to have a lexical container
or put it in a separate file. declare the package. create a
constructor subroutine, bless it, and create a incrementor
method/subroutine.

{
 package increment;
 sub new{ return bless({Name=shift(@_),count=shift(@_)}), 'increment'); }
 sub inc{ my $obj=shift(@_); $obj-{count}++;
print incremented .($obj-{Name}). to .($obj-{count}.\n;
 }
}

that's kinda clunky. It's a lot of line noise.

If perl had more high minded classes, Im not sure how it would look.

{
 package increment;
 use Moose;
 has $name;
 has $count;
 sub inc{
  # I don't use moose, making htis up:
  $self=shift(@_);
  $self-count() = $self-count() + 1;
  print incremented .($self-name()). to .($self-count()).\n;
 }
}

I gotta say, the Moose.pm documentation started in second gear
and stripped my clutch.

I'll forward the announcement to the BLU Hardware Hacking list:

Re: [Boston.pm] Tech Meeting Tuesday Nov 8

[Bill Ricker]

I just noticed the Wiki and the room Reservation have incorrect calculation
of November 15th (earliest 3rd Tuesday) in place of correct calculation of
Nov 8th (earliest 2nd Tuesday).

An emergency request for the 8th has been dispatched to MIT. I will let you
know if we have a room this week.
Watch this space.
If not, we can meet next week - but likely without me, as I expect to have
a conflict then.

The best answer I believe is here: http://modernperlbooks.com/mt/index.html

This is a blog written by chromatic, who is currently working on a
book called Modern Perl.

The idea is a bit amorphous, in that everybody seems to have a
different take on what it is, but my interpretation is this: Perl 5
has gone through more than 15 years of evolution. Best practices have
emerged (even more since PBP) but worst practices still persist and
some folks feel it's time for the community to finally think about
what should stay and what should go and what should be added (to core)
- if anything.

Even if we choose to keep deprecated things, and not make new things
part of core, the debate will hopefully yield new and better ideas for
Perl's future and encourage the community to teach and learn and show
off the best of what Perl is and can be.

because my job is a bit dry compared to others, it seems!

[Ronald J Kimball]

Boston.pm will have a tech meeting on Tuesday, February 12, at MIT,
in building E51, room TBA* (directions below), starting at 7:15pm.

* I am still waiting on room confirmation from MIT.  I've been told that
  I'll have it tomorrow afternoon.


I will be giving a presentation on an interesting problem I solved recently
at work, involving a weighted shuffle.  (Given a list of items with fixed
weights, shuffle the list such that items with higher weights are more
likely to be near the top.)  There will be math.


RSVP to me if you're planning to attend - rjk-bostonpm(at)tamias.net.


Pizza and soda for this meeting will be sponsored by Cambridge Interactive

Directions to MIT, Building E51:

Building E51 (the Tang Center) is located at the corners of Amherst and
Wadsworth Streets in Cambridge.

http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?mapterms=e51

Directions by T:

Take the Red Line to Kendall.  Building E51 is right around the corner from
the T stop.  From the Inbound side, facing into Main Street, turn right
(toward Boston) and walk down the block.  Turn right on Wadsworth Street
and walk to the corner of Amherst Street.  Building E51 is the building
across the street directly in front of you with the metal canopy.

Directions by Car:

General directions provided by MIT:

http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?section=directions

The Boston Linux and Unix user group also meets at E51, so you may find
their directions helpful as well (keeping in mind that we will be meeting
in room TBA*, not room 315):

http://www.blu.org/directions/mit/e51-315.php

Parking Information:

MIT's Amherst Street Lot is adjacent to the building:

http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?selection=P4Parking=go

Officially, a sticker is required to park in the lot.  However, we've been
told unofficially that there is no enforcement after 3pm weekdays, nor on
the weekends.  Chances are very slim that cars will be ticketed.
Nonetheless, parking in the lot is at your own risk.

Martin Owens will be giving a presentation on one of his modules,
Data::Validate::XSD.

http://search.cpan.org/~doctormo/Data-Validate-XSD-1.03/

This module allows the definition of complex data structures and allows
validation against them.  It is based on the W3C XSD definition, and does
not use XML.  Features include mirrored-errors (which describe failures in
terms of their structural position and the effect on the parents) and
minimal dependencies.  Use cases include validation data sent to a webpage,
validating data used in object creation, and validating XML parsed data.

[Boston.pm] Tech Meeting Tuesday, June 12, at MIT

[Ronald J Kimball]

Boston.pm will have a tech meeting on Tuesday, June 12, at MIT,
in building E51, room 372 (directions below), starting at 7:15pm.

(E51-372 is next to our usual room, E51-376, which was already booked.)

This will be our first meeting sponsored by CIDC!  Details below.


Uri Guttman will be giving a more in-depth presentation of CMS::Simple,
which he previewed at an earlier meeting.  CMS::Simple is, of course, a
simple (but effective) content-management system, which uses Uri's
Template::Simple module.  Uri is using CMS::Simple in two live projects.


I will contrast that with an overview of the more complicated
Template::Toolkit module.  I just started using TT at my new job, so this
will be along the lines of an introduction to the module, focusing on the
features I've been most impressed by so far.  If you've used TT, I hope
you'll chime in with your own favorite features.


I also have a fun surprise from the Internet.  (Think Linux Genuine
Advantage, only sillier!)


RSVP to me if you're planning to attend - rjk-bostonpm(at)tamias.net.
(Also, if you can bring a laptop with wireless connectivity, let me know.
I believe my laptop is still shut out of the MIT network.)


Pizza and soda for this meeting will be sponsored by Cambridge Interactive
Development Corp., who is looking to establish a connection with the Perl
community and hire more Perl developers.  They'll do a brief pitch about
the company and provide some handouts.  Thanks CIDC!

[Boston.pm] Tech Meeting Tuesday, May 8, at MIT

[Ronald J Kimball]

Boston.pm will have a tech meeting on Tuesday, May 8, at MIT,
in building E51, room 376 (directions below), starting at 7:15pm.


Greg London will be giving a talk based on his book, Bounty Hunters
(Metaphors for Fair Intellectual Property Laws).
http://www.greglondon.com/bountyhunters/

  The metaphors we use to describe the abstract concept of intellectual
  works bring along their own set of baggage. The metaphor of property
  automatically invokes the idea of owner and theft and pirate. But
  some metaphors describe reality better than others. This book introduces
  the metaphor of authors and inventors as Bounty Hunters. The public
  offers a bounty to any individual willing to create some as-yet-
  undiscovered work. Creators provide a service in the same vein as a
  Bounty Hunter provides a service of catching bad guys.


Time permitting, Greg will also discuss his parsing modules,
Parse::Native and Parse::Nibbler, and his new C++ implementation.


RSVP to me if you're planning to attend - rjk-bostonpm(at)tamias.net.


Pizza and soda will be provided.

(Pizza announcement - see below!)


Two great talks lined up for this meeting!


Guillermo Roditi will a give talk entitled WebApps using Perl and Reaction.

  Prefab. The Presentation will focus on harnessing emerging technologies
  (Moose, Catalyst, DBIx::Class) to create a smart framework that allows

  stuff, instead focusing on the technologies driving the server-side and
  the methodologies and design decisions behind them.


Jason McIntosh will give a presentation on Volity.

  Volity is an open platform for online multiplayer games. Volity itself is
  a set of language-independent protocols based on Jabber, but much of its
  current implementation relies on Perl. There are also libraries on CPAN
  that let you create new Volity game parlors with Perl.


Pizza announcement - by popular request, we're going to try the pizza from
Emma's for this meeting, instead of the usual place (Cinderella's).

I'm told that Emma's requires ordering a day in advance for large orders,
so please get your RSVP to me by noon on Monday, April 9.  Thanks!

Also, if you're coming to the meeting and want to suggest a specific
pizza, let me know, and I will consider it.

Officially, a sticker is required to park in the lot.  However, we've been
told unofficially that there is no enforcement after 3pm weekdays, nor on

Nonetheless, parking in the lot is at your own risk.

[Boston.pm] Tech Meeting Tuesday, August 8, at MIT (+ Sept pre-announcements)

[Ronald J Kimball]

Boston.pm will have a tech meeting next Tuesday, August 8, at MIT, in
building E51, room 376 (directions below), starting at 7:15pm.


I haven't lined up a speaker for this meeting, so right now I'm planning to
present a JAPH I've been working on, comparing the original code with the
golfed version and describing some of the tricks I used to make the short
version as compact as possible.

If you'd like to give a short presentation in addition (or a long
presentation instead) let me know!


RSVP to me if you're planning to attend - rjk-bostonpm(at)tamias.net.


Pizza and soda will be provided.



Pre-announcements for September:

On Tuesday, September 12, we'll have a speaker from Amazon.com talking to
us about Amazon Web Services.

Damian Conway will be visiting Boston some time in September and will be
giving a talk.  Date to be announced.

i am starting work with gisle aase on making LWP into a true async
module. i can talk a little about the concepts of how this will
happen. also i can report on some other modules in my queue.

also damian will be back in boston in september! i will get the official
dates and he has already agreed to give a talk (i didn't have to twist
his arm too much! :) to us. i requested the closing keynote he did at oscon on
opentalk 2.0. it is short so we may also ask him for another talk like
maybe some more perl6 update stuff. so we will need to book a larger
room on an offdate but we did that fine last year.

thanx,

[Boston.pm] Tech Meeting Tuesday, July 11, at MIT

[Ronald J Kimball]

Boston.pm will have a tech meeting next Tuesday, July 11, at MIT, in
building E51, room 376 (directions below), starting at 7:15pm.


Audrey Tang, who is visiting Boston for a post-YAPC hackathon, will be
giving her Deploying Perl 6 talk from YAPC.  Here's the synopsis from the
YAPC Chicago website:

  Deploying Perl 6

  With the advent of v6.pm, we can write use v6-pugs;, start coding in
  Perl 6, and deploy it as part of a Perl 5 application, without any extra
  dependencies such as Haskell, Parrot, or even C compilers.
  
  This talk will discuss typical deployment scenarios, emphasizing on the
  strength of Perl 6's deployment model:
  
* Automatic dependency analysis, so upgrading CPAN modules will no
  longer break programs mysteriously.
* Multiversioning, allowing the use of multiple versions of the same
  module on the system.
* Module and function interfaces that enables more robust and
  self-documenting programs.
* Cross-platform bytecode, resulting in faster loading time and
  cross-compilation opportunity to e.g. client-side JavaScript.
  
  Moreover, we will present recipes for reusing Perl 5 modules in Perl 6
  programs and vice versa.


We'll probably also hear Audrey's ppencode lightning talk.


Also, thanks go to Mitchell Charity for contacting the hackathon
participants and finding us a speaker for this meeting!


RSVP to me if you're planning to attend - rjk-bostonpm(at)tamias.net.
