use Perl

I've taken over the maintainership role for WWW::Salesforce and have pushed out a maintenance release that resolves some long standing issues.

We'll be having a group dinner for the August meeting, and have
a few drinks after for those interested. This will mostly
be a planning meeting for future meetings, but all are welcome
for Perl discussion and agreat food.

"Naan-N-Curry" at 336 O'Farrell Street, between Mason and Taylor.

A grant proposal I wrote for SF.pm is up for public review. All views welcome - http://news.perlfoundation.org/2010/08/2010q3-grant-proposal-sfpm-fun.html

Hi Mongers,

I'd like to offer my place in Bernal Heights Tuesday next week from 7:30pm until whenever for a Raduko Star installation & Perl 6 lightning talks. As some of you know a significant milestone in Perl 6's release history is coming up this Thursday, http://rakudo.org/node/73 and what better way to get through an install than with local PM'ers!

Jeff Thalhammer will be back to speak about Perl-Critic again on July 27nd at 7pm, at the office of LookSmart.

As any Perl developer will tell you, There's More Than One Way To Do It. But over time, we all learn that Some Ways Are Better Than Others.

Joe McMahon will be talking about Hudson on June 22nd at 7pm, at the office of Mother Jones.

"Continuous integration" sounds like a great idea: you automatically run your build on every checkin, so you know very soon after you've committed if you make a mistake or checked in a bug. However, like any
properly lazy Perl programmer, the last thing you want to do is write more code; you want to take advantage of work that's already done: that's Hudson.

What do you get when you cross a parrot with an elephant? Find out! PL/Parrot is a DSL construction kit for PostgreSQL, and much, much more. Stay tuned for more details. David Fetter will give us the ins and outs of PL/Parrot.

This meeting will take place on Tuesday, May 25th at 7pm at Six Apart World Headquarters.

Here they are. There's a couple more I need to dig up, some in text format.

As the second talk in a series of talks on form handling, Bryan Beeley will be presenting a talk on the HTML::FormHandler, a Moose based form rendering and validation framework, on April 27th, 2010 at Six Apart World Headquarters.

Whoops, looks like I am using constraint_methods. I'll check out the datetime validation stuff also.
I've been able to shoehorn DFV into some very unfriendly legacy codebases, so that will be a big focus.

Huh, I'll need to read up on those new methods. I've been using constraints mostly.

As the first talk in series of talks on form validation, Fred Moyer will present an overview of Data::FormValidator. Real world code examples will be presented, and you'll see how you can use Data::FormValidator to implement form validation for legacy codebases as well as new code. Data::FormValidator is a loosely coupled, highly flexible, and easy to use form validation module written by Mark Stosberg.
