	I don't know of any serious Perl training around but, for what it's 
worth, I'm going to do a "Perl for sysadmin" presentation for the Ottawa 
Sysadmin Guild in April. I'll broadcast the date when I'll have it. For 
that specific presentation, I'll keep the Perl content soft-core, but 
I'm pretty sure there will nonetheless be a little something for 
everybody. :-)

	Also, I still have my old Moose presentation somewhere. I have fingers 
in the Catalyst and Dancer scenes as well, and am knee-deep in the 
MetaCPAN skunk work. If there's a demand, we could resurrect the .pm 
meetings for a couple of tech presentations.

Joy,
`/anick

PS: to have an idea of the things I can potentially yack about, 
http://babyl.dyndns.org/techblog give a pretty good idea of what I've 
been at for the last coupla months.
