Folks,

    its that time again...

    the next DFW PerlMongers meeting will be a technical meeting given by Tommy Butler discussing the mechanics behind submitting modules to CPAN. This meeting will be held on Thu 01/29, 6:30pm at Emphasys. After the meeting, we plan to adjourn to the Londoner in Addison, on Midway just south of BeltLine.

    Abstract:

The CPAN is the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, a world-renouned and internationally shared collection of resources for Perl. Contributors of code and documentation from all over the world donate their time and resources to the cause of open source and Perl by sharing their work with everyone on the CPAN. Some day you might want to share a creation of your own with the world. If and when you do, this talk will familiarize you with the steps you would take to do so. It will not teach you how to make Perl modules.
