    London Perl Forum at City University
    ====================================

    NOTE: this is being organised by O'Reilly and Lonix. Booking is
    essential - go to http://www.lonix.org.uk/ and select 'meetings'.


    An evening of Perl talks, chosen to give a broad overview of the
    language and demonstrate how Perl can be useful for you.

    Perl is a stable, cross platform programming language used for
    mission critical projects in the public and private sectors.
    It is Open Source software and is supported across a wide variety
    of operating systems from Unix, Macintosh, Windows and many more.
    Perl is one of the few most popular web programming languages due
    to its text manipulation capabilities and rapid development cycle.

    Dave Cross will give a summary of Perl's strengths, the resources
    available for Perl programmers, and the history of the language.

    Mark Fowler will be describing the best of the CPAN, covering the
    plethora of free Perl modules available.

    Andy Wardley's talk will concentrate on one very powerful use of
    Perl - template processing.

    Then Simon Cozens will look ahead at Perl's future to what's
    coming with Perl 6.

    And there will be ample opportunities for continued discussion.
