Welcome!

[Fred Steinberg]

Well now, it seems we've got some interest!

Thanks to Arthur Corliss, who spread the word via the Linux Users Group
mailing list.

This is more or less the first thread on this list, so I guess intros all
around are in order (one other person and I have been through this, but
there's so many new members I figure we can start again).

My name is Fred Steinberg; I'm the list admin, so feel free to direct
complaints and suggestions my way. I've been using Perl on and off for 4 or
5 years now, and am currently using it to write a web-based interactive
calendar.

I don't have any plans for this group; I imagine as activity increases
we'll arrange some sort of get-together. I know most of you are active in
the Linux group, so feel free to use your experience from that to suggest
what-all we should be doing!

Arthur has registered a domain for us, and offered to host a web site as
well. (Arthur, please speak up if I'm wrong.) Our first order of business
might be to try and get that going.

For some ideas, here's a list of the other groups, with links to their sites
