I wrote a script to convert the XML data of perl monger groups on www.pm.org
into the right format for xearth.

Run it something like this:

perl pm-xearth.pl perl_mongers.xml >pm.xearth

and then xearth something like this

xearth -markerfile pm.xearth

and then you have an X root window full of perl monger groups.
(Except on Gnome, where Gnome puts its desktop background in front of the
X root window and I've not yet worked out where the "transparent" option
on the "solid colour or wallpaper" choice is. :-)
KDE may also suffer from something like this. I'm tempted to bin gnome and
upgrade my work box to pure clean fvwm

perl 5.8.0 or later recommended, as 5.6.1 seems to spew out utf8 without
provocation or warning. (Bogot.pm and some others have accented names)
