    Talks & Code

    At our techincal meetings, we often have a member speak about a particular topic. Here are the papers and code from those talks.

    01/17/2001: SSL, The Secure Socket Layer, Tony Whyte

    An introduction to SSL, encryption, digital certificates, and how to use them all together in a Perl program.

    11/29/2000: Debugging Perl Programs with PTKDB and perl -d (no online version available), Jonathan Tomer

    A demonstration of wonderful debugging tools for Perl, PTKDB, a Tk (graphical) perl debugger, the command line perl -d debugger, and using the Perl debugger from emacs.

    10/19/2000: Introduction to Apache's mod_perl, Jonathan Tomer

    A very good introduction to mod_perl. Now you can speed up your CGI scripts, or rewrite pretty much any function of Apache (including config files) with Perl!

    10/20/1999: Perl/Tk (no online version available), Tony Whyte

    A very good introduction to the concepts of Perl/Tk. There's a whole new area where Perl can be employed that many Perl programmers don't even realize, the GUI.

    09/15/1999: Introduction to Perl Modules, Brian Mathis

    Using the CGI.pm module as an example, this talk goes over the basics of using modules, how to access module documentation, and how to install new modules using CPAN.

    08/18/1999: JAPH - Just Another Perl Hacker, Brian Mathis

    A JAPH is a little Perl program that print out the words, "Just another Perl hacker". But there's more to it than a simple: print "Just another Perl hacker\n";.

    07/21/1999: BPREPRO preprocessor documentation, Bob Walton

    'Bprepro' demonstrates the amazing amount of power you can pack into a Perl program. The bulk of this program is 6 lines, but provides amazing power and flexibility.

    06/16/1999: Producing Commented Source Code from Spreadsheets with XL2E, Robert Rhode

    This program incorporated an amazing number of Perl features, including some little used functions and techniques. Read his paper on it here. The talk was very informative and started some good discussions.
