Sure.  And those of you out there who have learned something you like 
about Perl - that's enough to come and talk.  Don't assume you have to 
be an expert to speak.  There are others in the group who are at the 
same level of expertise who will be interested in anything you've found 
out regardless of how familiar it may be to the gurus.

I don't know their size but it is very big.  So are Boston.pm and 
NY.pm, I believe.  We're doing okay as PMs go.
