This month's talk features the exciting adventures of making eye-popping heat maps using the Perls and the edge-of-your-seat development experience that brought Image::Heatmap (not yet released) to the internets for downloading over the File Transfer Protocol [editor: may also be available by http]. In other words, I will tell you how I made this: http://trevor.bluecorral.com/spug/heat/ and what caused me to lose more hair over making it. Free pizza and beer will be provided I hope.
