Abstract

Save time and amaze your colleagues! In this talk, you will learn how you can extend Perl by adding on reusable modules of your own design. Topics include the basics of how to build a module, XS, the functions of the various files, testing and installation, and the world of CPAN.

Speaker Bio

For years, Geoffrey Rommel has managed to evade the question of what he wants to do when he grows up by working with computers. After seven years in the insurance industry, he began working at Sears, Roebuck, where he has worked with both mainframes and Unix machines, serving as a programmer, project manager, Unix administrator, and DBA. He is now supporting Teradata for Sears' customer data warehouse, which contains more than 7 terabytes. He also indexed five books for Encyclopaedia Britannica's 1990 edition of Great Books of the Western World.
