Re: [nlug] Perl Name Sort
That did it! :) At least it ignores the apostrophe, and set it to ignore
accents (I don't think we have any names with them, but you never know.when
that might happen.)
I'm still familiarizing myself with the parameters, but this code seems to
be pretty much what I want.
my $coll = Unicode::Collate->new(locale => 'en_US', normalization => undef,
level => 1);
Looping over the rows of data:
$row->{SortKey1} = $coll->getSortKey($row->{LastName});
$row->{SortKey2} = $coll->getSortKey($row->{FirstName});
$row->{SortKey3} = $coll->getSortKey($row->{MiddleNames});

[nlug] Perl Name Sort
I know there must be some Perl module out there I'm overlooking. I need to sort data by name. According to the Chicgo Manual of Style / US Phone book, you don't do just a normal sort. E.g. O'Reilly is treated as OReilly (case insensitive). (Some variations say last names starting with Mc should be treated as Mac. And St. Andrew should be Saint Andrew. Etc. I'm not as worried about those.) I've found all sorts of things for sorting in different languages, German phone book (umlats treated as letter and appending e). But there wasn't a US phone book module. I know there must be some common method / module for sorting names. My Google foo just can't seem to find it. I've usually just been doing a plain sort of uppercased name. This is okay, no one has complained. But I thought there must be a more proper way.

[nlug] Re: annual computer recycling event?
Thanks for the reminder, Howard. I've sent an email to my contact at the recycling company (Green Earth Recycling). I'm sure we'll get a recycling event set up soon. I'll post it to this list, once I know the dates.

Re: [nlug] annual computer recycling event?
The last information I could find online about a Vanderbilt / Dell sponsored recycling event was 2008. It seemed to have been replaced by Nashville E-Waste event held at LP field (last information found was November 2012). At the end of the spring semester, there are designated computer recycling areas outside some Vanderbilt residence halls (intended for students, not mass disposal by businesses; Spring 2014: main campus April 22 - May 10; Peabody Commons April 22 - May 3).
