looks like our mailing list has finally sprung into action! i'm very impressed, guys, let's keep it up. thanks Giorgo for bringing this up, I tend to program on the safe side, too, so I'd never have found out if it wasn't for you. my scripts will be even smaller now! :-)

as far as the irc goes, it's just an irc channel which means it will only be used if people join it from time to time ;-) perhaps we could have virtual meetings, too, so that people such as Philip (hi!) who don't live in Athens may have their say, too.

the name of the channel is #athens-pm-org on irc.gr. I know it's not the most user-friendly channel name out there but #perl was registered two years ago (!) by someone by the nick of panXer. [dear panXer, if you're listening please send us a line]

that's it for now. Giorgo thanks for the notes.

ps. i have finally brought together a small perl class, so people watch out! the numbers of perl programmers in Greece is about to rise!
