Maybe we could make a password protected chat room or bulletin
board a goal for our next meeting.  I think that would be a great
project to use Perl as well as some other Open Source languages.
As a side note, has anyone in the PPPM group published a module
to CPAN ?  I have some books on how to do it but I'd like to know
if someone has already done it in case I have stupid questions.
