I thought this would be of interest to this group: Mark Jason Dominus
is the author of Higher Order Perl (a great book on Functional
Programming). He does an annual talk at PLUG and is a highly regarded
speaker. He gave a talk last year on Haskell (Atypical Typing) and it
was quite good. I plan on making this one.

The presentation this month will be given by Mark Jason Dominus. Over the
years MJD has written many Perl tools to accomplish common tasks, and in this
talk he will explore a handful of them and how he wrote them in a talk called
"10 useful tools and how I wrote them"

Mark Jason Dominus is the author of "Higher-Order Perl: Transforming Programs
with Programs". As our regular December speaker (pushed to January this
year), he has given several talks in the past, including "What's a file?"
and "History of Classic Unix Security Holes"

For more on MJD check out his blog: http://blog.plover.com/ (which we also
aggregate on http://planet.phillylinux.org)

The meeting will take place from 7-9pm at:

University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (USP)
Griffith Hall C
600 South 43rd Street
Philadelphia, PA 19104-4495

USP is located in University City. Driving directions are
available at <http://www.phillylinux.org/locations/usp.html>, or
<http://www.usip.edu/directions/>, both of which have an aerial
view of the campus buildings. USP is also easily accessible by
public transportation.

There will be an open Question & Answer session at 7PM, prior to
the main presentation at 8PM. This is an open meeting; all are
welcome, and encouraged to attend.

Usually, a number of members get together after the meeting at a
nearby restaurant for food and perhaps a beer or two. Come join
the camaraderie!
