22 people came to last night's tech meeting.
We started with an announcement from our YAPC volunteer committee. The New
England Perl Workshop is being moved to March 2008, to allow more time for
planning. For more information, or to help out, visit the wiki page at
http://boston.pm.org/kwiki/index.cgi?NEPW or join the mailing list at

Jerrad Pierce gave us a review of his 2006 Perl Advent Calendar,
highlighting particular entries, and also showed off the archives from past
years. (Uri was surprised to learn that his Sort::Maker module was
featured in 2005.) http://perladvent.pm.org/
John Norton presented his new Logo.pm module, which implements a
client/server Logo interpreter with Tk. One of the nice features is having
multiple turtles running in the same window. (We learned that John likes
spirals - he also wrote the SpiroJAPH that I presented a year ago.) John,
go ahead and send that webpage to the list, thanks!
Guillermo Roditi got partway through a brief presentation of his new
MooseX::Object::Pluggable module, but he was cut short by the building's
alarm system going off, and we all had to evacuate! You can find
Guillermo's module, which uses Moose roles to implement plugins, on CPAN.
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, February 13. Let me know if you'd
like to give a presentation!
