Perl tutorial at U Penn on Friday 4 June

[mjd-perl-pm@plover.com (Mark Dominus)]

This year I will be giving a new tutorial at the big Perl conference
in Portland next month.  As usual, I would like to practice it
beforehand.  I will be doing that on Friday.

The tutorial is titled:


                         Welcome to my ~/bin




                                 WHEN


Friday, 4 June.

The tutorial will start around 6:30 PM and will last until about
10:00, including a 30-minute break in the middle.

Food may be provided.

                                 WHAT

Here is the brochure description:

                         Welcome to my ~/bin

        Over the years, Dominus has built up a large collection of
        handy utilities in Perl. He'll take you on a tour of these
        utilities and show you what they do and how they work.

        Class content will vary, but will include at least some of the
        following:

        * dump, pmud: lightweight keyed databases
        * getstore: copy a web page to a local file
        * googles: what google searches are leading people to my web site?
        * mailhold: challenge-response for incoming email
        * makethumbnails: build image thumbnail pages
        * mark: manage collections of files
        * mypsmerge, mypstrim, mypsup2: PostScript formatting and conversion
        * print: replacement printer daemon
        * ticker: watch files grow
        * unrecv: make email archive directories smaller
        * watcher: watch a collection of web pages and report whenever
          one changes

                                WHERE

The classes will be held in Wu-Chen auditorium on the first floor of
the new Melvin and Claire Levine Hall at the University of
Pennsylvania.  Levine Hall is located at 3330 Walnut Street in
Philadelphia.
