[oak perl] Setting Up Perl on a Kubuntu System

[George Woolley]

Hi Judy,
Currently, we are having meetings 
only when there is a specific reason for one.
There are no meetings currently planned
for the next few months.

What would you hope to gain from a meeting?
Perhaps that will bring forth
a specific reason for a meeting
or perhaps I (or someone else) will see
a good way to achieve your aim.

Peace,
George
