Sounds good.

Thanks for the input. That'll help on deciding what we do with this...
whatever it turns out to be.

I often recommend that new people check out Perl Monks. It's a great
resource, no matter what level of Perl programmer you are. If you are
looking for projects and such, we have covered quite a few over time.
The slides for each are on the Houston.pm website under
http://houston.pm.org/talks/

There's also a set of talks that I did on Perl Tips and Traps a few
years back. It doesn't cover the latest Perls. But those talks should
still be helpful.
