Hi!

You may get your wish sooner than you think! Feel free to bring
source code along with you, in executable or dead free form, we're always happy
to make constructive comments and give feedback on Perl.

General note to all cocnerned...

Doug, our Pumpking, has suggested allocating time in general for peer help. We've
all been stuck on a hard problem at some point or another and we've traditionally
waited until after the meeting and stood around in the parking lot hitting each
other up for ideas. I agree moving this into the meeting format would be cool
and useful, so now meetings are open to both showing off working programs
and non working ones ;) Just bring the code and we'll make time.

Good to hear from you, and welcome to the list. You're welcome to link to your
resume or personal page from http://phoenix.pm.org's Wiki, even if you don't
make it to a meeting - we're all busy folks.

Best wishes,
-scott
