Hi fellow Perlers. As I live in Crete, it's unlikely I'll get to many
meetings, but it's still good to be part of a group of Perl programmers
in Greece.

Concerning Greeklish, I have an algorithm I use for converting Greek
proper names to Latin characters. It's quite short (about one page of
code) and it might come in useful in this project. Some of its
'features' may be overkill - e.g. it converts Οικονόμου to Economou.

If you're interested I can post the code.

Regards.

Philip
