Boston.pm will have a tech meeting on Tuesday, February 12, at MIT, in building E51, room 376 (directions below), starting at 7:15pm.
Martin Owens will be giving a presentation on one of his modules, Data::Validate::XSD.
http://search.cpan.org/~doctormo/Data-Validate-XSD-1.03/
This module allows the definition of complex data structures and allows validation against them. It is based on the W3C XSD definition, and does not use XML. Features include mirrored-errors (which describe failures in terms of their structural position and the effect on the parents) and minimal dependencies. Use cases include validation data sent to a webpage, validating data used in object creation, and validating XML parsed data.
RSVP to [Ronald] if you're planning to attend - rjk-bostonpm (at) tamias (d*t) net.
Pizza and soda for this meeting will be sponsored by Cambridge Interactive Development Corp. Thanks CIDC!
Ronald

One of the biggest problems in computer security is how to deal with logs. Firewall logs are especially difficult because they often run into the tens to hundreds of gigabytes, and searching them requires expensive, proprietary packages. The purpose of this paper is to help instruct the reader in how to use Postgres and Perl to have a queryable database using checkpoint log files. I do not cover other firewalls but the ideas herein could be applied to almost any firewall supporting output to text files. This paper will give the security practitioner to perform data mining on otherwise useless logfiles. Using the methods described in this document enabled the author to query for almost anything imaginable from a total of 450,000,000 records in under ten minutes. The cost: The cost of the hardware.

They mention in passing I18N as a key feature for prefering Perl to say PHP -- multiple languages in one website.
