[tpm] Site updates: help required

[Dave Doyle]

Hi All,

The Meetup.com Toronto Perl Mongers group has been created. I'm hoping this
will alert others in the Toronto area to attend.  Please take the time to
join the group and click the RSVP.

I'll be incorporating Meetup.com into the TPM website soon.

Thanks,
D
