[sf-perl] Fun and cool Perl examples

[Peter Thoeny]

Hi Bill,

I commend you for volunteering for people in needs!

How about getting advise from people who teach Perl to beginners? For  
example, you could contact John Napiorkowski who is teaching a Perl  
Class in NYC (found in Perl Weekly I just forwarded to this list).

Cheers,
Peter
