[Kc] Next months presentation... which topic? [x-bayes]

[D. Hageman]

I think I might be able to be persuaded to give a presentation on 
XML::LibXML.  If I do ... I will diverge also into XML::LibXSLT as well 
since both modules go hand-in-hand together.  At this point - I am not 
confident I can do the April meeting though.  I seem to have too many 
irons in the fire at the momment with work and extra curricular 
programming.
