Here are the notes from the April meeting of the Atlanta Perl Mongers. I make no claims as to completion or accuracy. Updates welcome.

Hey, what happened to March?!?

  • I gave a talk and took some notes, but never got around to writing up the post.
  • My talk kicked ass; you should be ashamed you missed it.

Pre-Meeting

  • Trailer for Rogue One looks pretty good. :)
  • Talked about my (mis)adventures in C programming
    • Doing BCD (Binary Coded Decmile) reading/writing
    • character arrays are being overwritten
    • Mike/Stephen: Look at the symbol table
    • Debug it
  • Also talked some about my adventures in threads
    • Stephen: Sounds like something map reduce would be good for
  • Stephen had a question about something he was working on
    • I had started writing this and completely missed the question
    • AoH vs HoH?
  • Mike Variable::Magic is Magic!
    • May give a talk on it in a future date.

Util gives a talk - Concurrency in Perl 6

  • Perl 6 Documentation
  • In Perl 5 you do concurrency based on the way the module you are using does it (POE)
  • Yeah; don’t plan on me taking great notes here.
  • mdw: ncdu (not sure why I wrote this bit)
  • And here is where I fell down on the job and am writing this a month later…

Dinner Chat

  • There is a Perlbrew for Rakudo: https://github.com/tadzik/rakudobrew
  • Talked a bit about my fun with threads and the need to try forks.
  • I may have written more down but I’ve misplaced my notes…
