Hey Saran,

How's Gaurav? As for a meetup location, we might be able to get
Hackerspace.sg to host a perl meetup.


Here's a quick perl golf question for the list, what's the shortest way
to write a rot13 function without mangling the variable passed in?

Here's my attempt:

sub rot13($) {
    $a if (my $a = $_[0]) =~ tr/a-mn-z/n-za-m/
}

The last time we had a meeting there, we had to get one of the Hackerspace members to host the event for us. But you can also e-mail events(at)hackerspace(dot)sg, see http://hackerspace.sg/about-us/

I tried to make it wordier, but this won't translate punctuation correctly for some reason :-/

sub rot13 {
return join "", map { $_ = ord; chr ($_ > 109 ? $_ - 13 : $_ + 13) } split //, lc shift;
}

cheers,
Gaurav

Hi Guys,
My dates have been moved to the second week of october for the macau trip but it will not involve a weekend. So I will still be good for saturday or sunday. I am also good for first week of october. I leave for canada on 16th so that would put me out of SG for the rest of the month. 
It would be great if we can have it in first week of the october or weekend of second week.
Cheers and Beers!
