[PLUG-ANNOUNCE] Perl Mongers Meeting Tonight: Erlang and POE

[Seven till Seven]

6:53pm at FreeGeek -- 1731 SE 10th Ave.

Speaker: Kevin Scaldeferri

Erlang -- The Perl of Functional Languages / POE -- The Erlang of Perl

  Kevin will discuss the message-passing approach to concurrent
  programming, using two example systems: the Erlang programming
  language and the POE framework for Perl.

  The talk will include a brief introduction to each, then two
  implementations for a couple simple tasks to compare and contrast.

POE is a framework for cooperative, event driven multitasking in Perl.

Erlang is a general-purpose concurrent programming language with an 
open-source runtime.   It was designed by Ericsson to support 
distributed, fault-tolerant, soft-real-time, non-stop applications.
