Well...that's pretty much the same stuff I do.  I sure don't count myself 
an expert in perl, but I suppose everyone knows people that know more and 
people that know less than they do.

In that spirit, I volunteer to expose myself before my peers and talk about 
the tiny little corner of perl that I know: CGI, templates, and similar.  I 
fully expect to learn more than anyone listening to me, so it should be a 
win-win situation.

If called upon, I will dissect my Pressroom program and facilitate a 
discussion of what is good about it and what could be better about 
it.  Feel free to call on this last-minute...it's got a good shelf life.
