[Leuth Bartels]

Oh, I'm a silly bugger!  I sent this to an individual instead of the group
(must be time for more coffee!)

Mr. Kuskie, I apologize for the confusion!!!

Hello to the group,

I am interested in learning PERL and have been following messages on this
list for some time as a means of garnering information.  Would it be
inappropriate of me to attend one of the group gathering sessions, even
though I am only an *aspiring* PERL monger?  

I have very particular needs (as I am Translation Software Mgr for small
localization firm, working almost entirely with not-quite-perfect CATM
software that requires a lot of extra care which I have been told PERL could
make much simpler etc etc...) and so would love some advice on how/where to
focus my study when I begin cracking the books, as well as some potential
contacts in the states since my other big PERL buddy is wonderful a
gentleman in Croatia (!!)  

I would like to take actual classes in PERL (I think) and am wondering if
the Damian Conway classes would be too far over my head.  I am also more
than willing to pay for any *tutoring* (with beer or even real money.)

Thank you all for your time,

WooHoo!  Just got a P.O. approved from the wife to spend some fun
money on the Text Munging course.  My day job is designing analog
chips and I've never been exposed to parsers before.  This should
be a blast!

Thanks for the tip!
Colin

p.s.  Maybe we should list places where Perl training is locally
offered on the portland.pm.org website?
