 Perl Seminar New York
 Tuesday, March 16, 2010
 6:15-8:15 pm
 NYPC User Group
 481 8 Ave, Suite 550
 (between West 34 & 35 Sts, Manhattan)

 Agenda:

 Main Presentation:  Alex Gill on local::lib

 Perl is ubiquitous on most Unix-like systems, and runs on many others  
 as well.  When utilizing the 'system' or 'vendor' Perl, one issue  
 which comes up is installing and using modules from the Comprehensive  
 Perl Archive Network (CPAN).  local::lib is a simple solution to  
 installing modules and run programs with ease.  Come to Perl Seminar  
 for Alex's introduction to local::lib.

 Also:  Update on Last Month's Collective Hacking Session

 We started last month's session with one module to make use of a  
 minicpan repository.  Now we have three!  Come to Perl Seminar NY to  
 get an update.

 Thank you very much.

   We meet in the basement. Enter the library and head to the back. If the
   door is closed when you arrive you can ask the manager of the library for
   the keys to the room if you're comfortable opening up the basement, or
   you can wait for some of the others to arrive.

   We will continue meeting on a bi-weekly basis at the Hudson Library at
   66 Leroy St New York, NY 10014.

   It is helpful, but not necessary to have a notebook computer.
