Hello, everyone.

Work permitting, yes.

> 2) What topics would you like to see covered by speakers?

Anything and everything.  I'm interested in a wide variety of topics.

> 3) Would you be a speaker, and what will you talk about?

My "strong" experience with Perl is focused on tasks I need to 
perform at work and my "weak" experience with Perl comes from lots 
of tinkering at home.  I doubt that I could speak authoritatively 
about any general Perl topic, but if one of my little projects 
interested the group I'd be happy to discuss it.

Are there any other MacPerl people on the list?

Sorry, no.  :-(

Probably not, sorry.  :-(

> 7) Do you think that this is a good idea at all.

Yes, a very good one.  I'm a lone Perl island; other than this 
list and one business acquaintance, I don't know anyone else who uses 
Perl.  I'm certainly in favor of anything that gives me an 
opportunity to learn more about Perl and what others are doing with 
it.
