  Do you know what is weird about this post?
  
  At our October 27th Perl Monger meeting, we decided to add what we've dubbed the Monthly Module. A Monthly Module section is being added to the website and at each Perl Monger meeting we will have a 5-10 talk on said module.
  
  Great minds think alike, eh? :)
  
  So, should we proceed with our local version of this idea and just submit a link to the Monthly Module articles there are exceptionally written? Or should we just post the Monthly Modules to http://use.perl.org [perl.org]

    Actually, the Algorithm Alley column name is already used in Dr. Dobb's Journal. I knew it sounded familiar when it was suggested at the meeting. I was just reading the latest DDJ and flipped to Algorithm Alley. Rats!

    Sure, submit them to use Perl; :) We don't require exclusive rights to material.

  I've written several articles on particular CPAN modules that others might find interesting:
  
  [ibm.com]
  AppConfig

  [ibm.com]
  Parse::RecDescent

  The Persistent classes [ibm.com]

  And I rely heavily on modules in other articles I've written for IBM DeveloperWorks. I can allow most of them (depending on the IBM publishing date because of the contract; the three above are OK) to be republished for free, if anyone is interested.

    Nice articles :) I'm looking for anything module related as unrestrained creativity could produce some interesting articles. I'm working on an article that will describe my painful quest for a perl/apache photo album comparing 2 apache modules and 3 scripts/modules that are not on CPAN. It doesn't have to be for the high-end tea drinking crowd :)

      Damn damn, DAMN!
      
      I'm just working on AxKit::PhotoAlbum. Though it's proving slower (to develop) than I'd prefer. I mean I had to write XML::LibRSVG first (for the SVG thumbnails, in case you couldn't guess) :-)
