http://blogs.perl.org/users/ovid/ In Chapter 3 of my book, I mentioned offhand that sometimes you expect the number 5, but you get 4.99999999998 instead. I sort of punted on the explanation because it seemed to be a touch of a distraction. Naturally, chromatic called me on that and suggested I explain a bit more. As part of my explanation, I wrote a sample program that would print out the fractions used to build the mantissa of a number. For example, .75 is 1/2 + 1/4.

In 2005 or so, I started running a science fiction role-playing game, and it ran for a little under five years.

Below, I reproduce most of my report to the players: (cut here)

YAPC::Europe wouldn’t exist without dedicated teams of volunteers, and we are always excited to see the enthusiasm and learn about the new ideas the community has to offer. Further information about preparing a complete application can be found here . Proposals submitted to the venue committee will be added to this public repository (you may provide private information separately) to benefit future organisers. The deadlines which apply to this portion of the procedure are:
The HTML::TokeParser is an alternative interface to the HTML::Parser class. It is an HTML::PullParser subclass with a predeclared set of token types. If you wish the tokens to be reported differently you probably want to use the HTML::PullParser directly. The object constructor argument is either a file name, a file handle object, or the complete document to be parsed. Extra options can be provided as key/value pairs and are processed as documented by the base classes.
