Hi Geoff,<br>
<br>
Having done the London -> Perth in August last year, I'm not
seeing a huge amount of Perl work coming up here in Perth. One
potential is the local large ISP, iiNet (who are based in Perth).<br>

I can't answer that - but it would be good to get the input from
others on the list.<br>

<div>When I'm in Perth, I'll have to meet up with you folks. I
don't have anything in CPAN to my credit, though; my only claims
to fame are that I used to go to college with Tim Bunce, and
interviewing John Macdonald for a job position in my company
(honestly; what sort of questions could I ask?!).</div>

Sounds good. We have a catch up session about once per quarter on
the first Wednesday of the month (there's not demand for more
regular, unlike London.pm which is huge in comparison). So January
4th is our next schedule one; but if you stop by any other time then
I'm sure a few of us would come and share a pint! :)<br>
