Subject: [Asheville-pm] Any Perl hackers out here west of Asheville?
Message-ID: <4692F8B7.3010208@BenefitsLink.com>

Dear Asheville.pm,

I am in Sylva and just learned about the group from the Perl Mongers web 
page. I'm looking for Perl hackers to hang with.

I am not a professional programmer, but I've been doing all the 
programming for my web site since 1995. It's a trade magazine, 
basically: BenefitsLink.com. Makes money mostly through help wanted ads 
placed by employers looking for people who read the web site/get the 
daily email newsletter. You would be shocked to see the code used for 
the flat-file database that runs the help wanted page :)

I enjoy Perl very much and would like to do some more sophisticated 
things with it for my web site. So I'd especially like to visit over 
beers with anybody doing web development.

I'd be happy to drive to Asheville, too.

I went to Toronto for YAPC in 2006 but missed Chicago and Houston. I'm 
thinking of going to Pittsburgh for a conference Pittsburgh.pm is doing 
this October.

I wrote an article for Perl.com in early 2006, which just goes to show 
you that volunteering can be dangerous. chromatic has agreed to let me 
replace it with a 2.0 version that will be better written and more complete.

Would love to hear from any hackers out here in WNC.

In Perl,

Dave Baker

Hi Dave,

There are very few of us on this list. We've never had enough people talking
at once to actually discuss anything like a meeting. I guess WNC isn't
exactly a Perl hot spot. I don't usually get out your direction but I'd be
happy to meet up with you over some beers or something the next time you
come into Asheville (so long as I have some notice.)

I've used Perl professionally since '95 or '96. It's just one of many
languages I've used extensively, but it remains a favorite. I don't use it
as frequently these days; lately I've been doing more in PHP, C, shell, and
Ruby...

Are you a member at perlmonks.org by any chance? If not, check it out. It's
a great resource.

Regards,
-sauoq
