Event Suggestions (was RE: news feeds)

Simon et al,

> Suggestions for other events appreciated.

One of the interesting parts of last year's workshop was our
former
leader's off-the-cuff presentation on Froody. I was less
interested in
Froody, than I was with the way he toodled around the GUI
& command
line, his pre-prepared macros and templates. I wonder if
anyone be
prepared to give a talk on "How I code Perl". 

Also, having just given a critical review of the O'Reilly
SNMP book, I
feel I should recover some ground and say that it's not
Perl's fault. If
anyone would be interested I could give a basic guide to the
Net::SNMP
module, especially it's really cool non-blocking polling
strategy.

Cheers,

Alistair

If its not to private I'd love a talk on how M&S use
Perl. I don't
care if its boring from a technical point as long as I can
see how
Perl is used on a day to day basis I'm interested, nothing
sensitive
just an idea of what size of databases you might use with
DBI, or
how many hits you manage with mod_perl or any victories
where Perl
solved a difficult problem for other languages within a
short time
span.
