Posted by michael on from the canada-oh-canada dept.

minaguib writes "For anyone interested in Perl, Yet Another Perl Conference is coming to Ottawa, Canada May 15th and 16th. Pre-Registration is now open and the calendar is not completely finalized, as they are still accepting presenter entries. This is a great way to get involved either as a presenter or an attendee."

    What can I say - the above title is clearly needed and has a fantastic sales oppotunity waiting several times a year.

    I find this depressing and blame the perl programmers with jobs for writing such good code that nobody ever needs to change it. Curse you perl programmers for disobeying laws of buggy unmanagable code.

    Canada is a Perl conference?

    That would explain so many things on so many levels.

    I wonder what the Perl syntax for "... eh?" is...

      I know!

      "eh?" is the official pronunciation of the ";" character.

      I don't actually know Perl, but my guess would be @#!$&^%eh!@#$@$*&
