as a first step, getting plenty of Perl people signed up and making Perl'y sort of noises on their 'internet specialist group' would probably be no bad thing ... http://www.isg.org.uk/member.htm its free btw, -- Robin Szemeti

All problem solutions submitted for judging must be expressed in one of the designated programming languages of the competition, using the designated hardware with the designated operating system, compiler and other software. c. Competitors may consult any source materials intended for human use, including books, manuals, program listings and non-programmable calculators. However competitors must not load machine readable versions of software prior to the competition, nor may they bring their own computers (including programmable calculators and personal digital assistants), mobile phones or computer peripherals into the competition area. In addition, removable machine-readable media (e.g. floppy disks) must not be brought into or taken out of the competition. All source material must be declared and can only be used at the discretion of the Chief Judge. Infringement of this rule may lead to disqualification. I wonder what the chances of getting the whole of CPAN pre-installed on the machine would be :) Jody

The 2002 Perl Advent Calendar
Doesn't December come round quickly? http://www.perladvent.org/2002/ Announcing the third Perl Advent Calendar, the Advent calendar that features a different Perl module each day of Advent, and a bonus module on Christmas day. This year's improvements include each day having it's own mini-tutorial attached, and much better html. Other features may be phased in during the Advent period. Hope everyone enjoys it. -- Mark Fowler http://www.twoshortplanks.com/ The 2002 Perl Advent Calendar [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.perladvent.org/2002/ a different perl module featured every day

Search::InvertedIndex revisited
On Sun 17 Nov 2002, Kate L Pugh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there anyone here who's used Search::InvertedIndex and can point me to some working example code? I'm having great trouble getting my head around it. Just for completeness: I seem to have finally figured it out. Example script is at http://the.earth.li/~kake/code/Search-InvertedIndex-example.pl.txt if anyone else is interested. Note that script does give a warning about the database not being open when it comes to cleanup time. I've yet to look into that problem properly. (Before anyone suggests it - yes, I will be sending a documentation patch to the maintainer as soon as I manage to get hold of him.) All this poking about has also led me to notice that this module doesn't care about the position of keys within the data, so it won't be able to do proper phrase searching. (I would love to be proved wrong here.) What are people using for that kind of thing? DBIx::FullTextSearch can do it, but that's limited to MySQL. I can't make head or tail of WAIT; does anyone know if that might suit my needs? And if so, could they point me to some idiot-proof documentation and/or examples?

YAPC::Israel::2003::May::12 - Call for Participation
Ladies and Gentlemen and other fellow Perl hackers, since I joined your list a couple of weeks ago I was in full lurking mode but for this announcement I have to come forward. I think that you, the organizers of the first YAPC::NiNA (Not in North America) should personally suffer from my announcement on this silent sunday evening. So here you are: http://www.perl.org.il/YAPC/2003/ This is going to be a one-day event and some (or most ?) of the speakers will talk in Hebrew [1] but if you have managed to say words in Dutch or in German then Hebrew will be really easy for you. You are invited to send presentation proposals and to register on our web site. -- Gabor Szabo Perl User Group in Israel (PUGiI) http://www.perl.org.il/ [1] If you have not fully undersood my presentation at YAPC::EU::Munchen because of my broken English, you might have the chance to hear it again in my broken Hebrew. :)
