No problem, Peter - I'll see you at the hackathon.

Would you be interested at all in doing a presentation at some PM
meeting in the future? I know it's a bit (a lot!) of a commute for
you, but if you're ever in Vancouver it'd be great to have you out.
I'm not asking you for a commitment or anything, just extending an
open invitation.

For those of you working with legacy Perl systems (and even those who
aren't), I highly recommend Peter's book Perl Medic. It's a good read
and has a lot of valuable advice for cleaning up others' mess (and
stopping yourself from contributing to said mess).
