I'm part of the 70% YAPC:EU speakers that still haven't provided "material for the proceedings" (and yes, I'm ashamed).
I finished an article (if you may call it an article) on special variables and command line switches yesterday.
I am looking for one or two people to read it and give me some feedback... anyone willing to volunteer? :-| I would be very grateful, as I wrote this with very little time on my hands and I'm afraid I might have some mistakes and such that may have escaped my sleepy eyes, yesterday :-)
I warn you right now it's scientific, but not a scientific paper... :-)
Send me mail to jac [at] natura.di.uminho.pt if you're interested. Thanks :-)

I didn't get anything. Did you send it to the Yahoo account ? (maybe it was spam filtered ?!?!)Re:sure

Yes, I sent it to the Yahoo account... yes, spam filtering is a possibility...:-| Nevertheless, here it is

Very nice read. It was difficult to understand what it's about from the start, but eventually I got it. A fresh attitute indeed. Pity that $_ itself isn't described - it's one of the more important variables out there...I saw no obvious problems except for a few very minor English flops, but I'm not the definite authority on that. You should also get a native English speaker (not necessary a JAPH) to take a look.

Thanks for your time, spur:-)
I guess you're right... $_ should be more described...:-|
Any volunteers to check on my English?:-| Re:sure

I think I figured it out:-)
The article has now a subtitle wich includes "vol 1"
In a near future (I hope), I will be writting "vol 0", where I'll describe $_:-)
I guess that's the only way to go around with it right now:-)
