I've been to the LUG a few times.. I was quite an active member at one point.

Last time I was there, there were no people who were enthusiastic about PERL.

It's a good idea about the comp-sci department at the Uni, but they are mainly 
a Microsoft Shop as far as I Understand. But it's always worth a shot ! :)

There are a few businesses in Hull who are running PERL, Kingston 
Communications for one, but again, it is difficult to find anybody with 
enthusiasm for it.

pm.org provide CGI Hosting, with a MySQL Database. I also have space to host 
hull.pm.org, so we have plenty of options there.

Somewhere central, and easy for everybody to get too. Preferably somewhere 
with WiFi.
