As part of year 25 of The Perl Advent Calendar, Perl luminary and co-author of O’Reilly’s “Learning Perl” Randal Schwartz will be giving a presentation entitled "Half My Life with Perl".

​This event will be a live stream via Zoom. The stream URL will be provided as we get closer to the date. Please register now if you’re interested in the event, so that we know how many Zoom attendees to plan for.

Updated October 31, 2024: Sounds interesting, Alex. When is the event? Oh, you forgot that part?

This will be a virtual event (so don't worry if you can't find your passport), to be held Saturday, December 14, 2024 at 5pm ET -- Google Calendar reliably tells me that's 10pm UTC. A link to the event will be posted when it's available. So far, we have 60 people signed up -- and it's six weeks away. I don't know what the limits are for a Zoom session, but Olaf is working on arranging that.

Updated December 3, 2024: We now have an even 200 folks signed up, and I've put an arbitrary limit of 300 on this event. Thanks to TPRF for providing access to their Zoom account for this event -- it should be intriguing.
