[Note: I'm looking for non-Perl lightning talks for the following event. Please contact me: acme@astray.com]
London Perl Mongers organises technical meetings every two months. The technical meetings are a chance to find out what has been going on in the Perl community, what techniques people are using and how Perl integrates with other software.
The next technical meeting will be on the Wednesday 10th June 2009 from 6.30pm to 9pm and the theme is “Dynamic”. Space is limited, you have to sign up to attend, see below.
There are many dynamic programming languages out there, and the difference between them is quite small. These evening will consist lightning talks from many dynamic language user groups: Perl, PHP, Ruby and Django and a few more surprises.
It will be held at the British Computer Society, First Floor, The Davidson Building, 5 Southampton Street, London WC2E 7HA. Many thanks to Billy Abbott, the BCS and everyone involved for allowing us to use this wonderful venue.
]]>Way back in 2001, London.pm organised a series of tshirts. As Dave Cross explained:
They all have a large "Programming Republic of London" logo on the back and one of a series of small "fictional" PM group logos on the front. I'm currently wearing my Sunnydale.pm shirt, but we also have Rivendell.pm, Tatooine.pm, ZZ9PluralZAlpha.pm[1] and Anhk-Morpork.pm (the last is for those strange people who can't see that Terry Pratchett is an unfunny, fifth-rate Douglas Adams wannabe).
Also, see the images as Simon Wistow explains:
Yes, the rumours are true. After epic battles with every t-shirt printer in london the official Winter Season London.pm t-shirts are finally ready.
Embarassingly we left out our favourite fictional Perl Monger group. However, it was, how shall I say, quite a lot of organising and quite tiring to ship tshirts around London and the world. Luckily, now we live in the future and I can outsource all that, so behold the official London.pm Gallifrey.pm tshirt.
It's being sold at cost and you can wear one at all fashionable geek gatherings. Enjoy!
Update: now with a women's tshirt and also available in the USA: men's, women's.
]]>YAPC::Europe 2009 will be held in Lisbon from the 3rd to the 5th August. I will be presenting a new talk entitled Fewer cables. As Leader of London.pm, I will be travelling on Sun 2nd August at 18:15 on TAP Portugal 357 from Heathrow to Lisbon, staying at the Hotel Alif, and travelling back at 18:35 on Sun 9th August on TAP Portugal 358 from Lisbon to Heathrow. You may join me if you wish. The wiki has useful pages about accommodation, who is staying where, air arrivals, air departures and details about the TAP discount. See you in Lisbon!
It can interesting to see what files your Perl loads. One way to do this is to use the Linux::Inotify2 module which uses inotify to monitor file changes. Something like:
#!/home/acme/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Linux::Inotify2;
use File::Find::Rule;
use Perl6::Say;
my $inotify = new Linux::Inotify2
or die "Unable to create new inotify object: $!";
foreach my $inc (@INC) {
next if $inc eq '.';
foreach my $directory ( File::Find::Rule->new->directory->in($inc) ) {
$inotify->watch( $directory, IN_ACCESS )
or die "watch creation failed";
}
}
while () {
my @events = $inotify->read;
unless ( @events > 0 ) {
print "read error: $!";
last;
}
foreach my $event (@events) {
say $event->fullname if $event->IN_ACCESS;
}
}
Which outputs something along the lines of the following if you load Moose by running perl -e 'use Moose' in another terminal:

No, I'm not sure why it's accessing some files multiple times. Now, who can change this into a CPAN module popularity contest?
]]>For the past few years, Google has been organising the summer student hackfest that is the Google Summer of Code. The Perl Foundation has nine projects this year, but every year I dig through and get some statistics and read through every project to see which ones interest me. This year there are 995 projects by 148 organisations. The organisations with the most projects are:
38 Welcome to KDE in GSoC 2009!
38 The Apache Software Foundation
30 Homepage (Python)
25 GNOME's SoC Homepage
20 OSGeo GSoC 2009
20 FreeBSD Project SoC Homepage
20 Eclipse Foundation Summer of Code 2009
18 Joomla! 2009 Summer of Code Home
18 Welcome to the Drupal Summer of Code homepage
15 VideoLAN
14 OpenMRS
12 MySQL
11 The NetBSD Project Summer of Code 2009 Home Page
11 The Linux Foundation
11 The Globus Alliance @ GSoC 2009

Last Thursday we held another London Perl Mongers technical meeting. The theme was "Less code" and I started by showing off Elevated, a 4KB graphics intro by rgba which recently won first place at Breakpoint 2009. Yes, 4KB, including the music. It's all procedurally generated using flat mesh displaced with a Perlin noise-based procedural vertex shader, with textures computed procedurally and even camera movements are generated in the GPU. In 4KB!

The talks were all great and you can download the slides on the London.pm site. Thanks to all the speakers!
Hi there porters,
Perl 5.005 is a great version of Perl and still used by many people.
There have been a few distribution updates and tool changes which mean
that it no longer compiles cleanly everywhere, so I believe it's time
for another maintenance release of perl5.005, which will lead to
perl5.005_05.
Please compile and make test this release candidate on as many
platforms as possible:
http://acme.s3.amazonaws.com/perl/perl5.005_05-RC2.tar.gz
This is a release candidate. I'm interested in compilation fixes. I'm
not interested in fixing warnings.
It is hosted on the Perl 5 Git repository:
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/log/refs/heads/maint-5.005
Which means you can see the Changes file here:
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob_plain/6b83263:/Changes
See perlrepository.pod if you want to play with Git:
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/HEAD:/pod/perlrepository.pod
Thanks! Léon
]]>Last week London.pm organised a technical meetings themed along the question "What is Moose and why is it the future?". I was in Taipei on the day but Peter Edwards took charge and the speakers Ash Berlin, Tomas Doran, Mike Whitaker and Piers Cawley introduced us to Moose, how to use it effectively and explained advanced techniques. I think everyone was convinced to at least try it out. The slides are available on the London.pm website.
