I wouldn't exactly describe it as dying to present on, but I could do a
presentation at some point on either:
1.  Code generation/finite state machines in Perl (eg, with Libero
    an Open Source tool available at http://www.imatix.com./)  (I should 
    note that I work with iMatix so am not completely disinterested in 
    the products; but would aim to describe the approach not push the
    tools.); or

2.  SGML/XML text processing using Perl (and nsgmls/SGML.pm)

The Web offices would still be most suitable to actually hold the
meeting even if it was me doing the presentation, as I don't really have
access to a suitable location at present.

I'd appreciate feedback on which option (1 or 2) would be preferable.
I could probably have something together for 2000/3/8 providing I knew
relatively soon to plan for it; but of course won't stand in the way of
the huge queue of people who must be desperate to present their thing...
