I am officially a moron, and can't use copy and paste to save my life.
The details of tonight's tech meet can actually be found here.

Sorry about the confusion. To make this post worthwhile, here's a list of
people who are talking and what on:
Dave Cross will be giving a twenty minute talk on Writing a Book Using The
Template Toolkit, where he talks about writing the upcoming Perl Template
Toolkit book that he co-authored.
Martin Ling was kind enough to provide a quick summary of his 20min talk:
Alzabo (http://www.alzabo.org) is a Perl data modelling tool that groks
relational database systems. You can use it to manipulate database
schemas in the abstract, reverse engineer them from existing DBs, and
generate SQL diffs to a live database to rearrange its structure. It
also provides an object-oriented runtime API which provides similar
features to Class::DBI and other modules. Martin Ling will give an
overview of its capabilities, compare it to other related modules and
preview some new features in development.
Nicholas Clark will be giving a lightning talk on the upcoming release of
Perl 5.8.1 and what's changed in the new shiny shiny version of Perl.
I'll be waffling about my new Attempt module that I will release to CPAN
just as soon as I complete this email, honest guv.
Leon Brocard will be talking about the plans for the CPAN cabal meeting in
a couple of weeks entitled How can we make CPAN even better?
Tom Huskins will presenting a lighting talk about his experiences of
teaching Perl to absolute beginners.
James Duncan will be explaining to us why he's never ever going to write
another container class again.
Finally Earle Martin will be detailing Stupid RSS Tricks On IRC.
So you can see, it's going to be a lot of fun, with a wide range of
topics.
Hope to see you there.
Mark.
