Old Bag of Nails at the Grandview location has decided to sponsor Columbus Perl Mongers.

The gave us 4 x $25 gift certificates, and 4 XL logo'd t-shirts, that will be used for speaker swag.

If you happen to be there, tell the management "thanks".

Anybody besides me still working in Perl?

Howdy Ho neighbors! I am Derek a new member to Cbus PM. I am a Unix Admin who loves to use and promote Perl. I attended the Pittsburg Perl workshop '07 and have access to all the documents that were posted on their website. Please let me know if I can share with you men/women.

Many of the authors of books, presenters and influential Perl individuals chat on IRC. If you need to ask a lot of questions or you are new to Perl, please use the FreeNode server (irc.freenode.net) to chat on the #perl channel. If you want to bask in the presence of some of the Perl gurus, go ahead and use Pobox, which I think is the MagNet network (irc.perl.org, irc.pobox.com, etc). There is also a channel on MagNet for help, #perlhelp.
