Thank you both for an interesting interview. There's only one part that worries me: Is there any chance you'll give a presentation at the next LPW? Possibly, but I don't feel I've got to that level yet! As Sue suggested yesterday in her request for technical talks, the most interesting technical meetings cover a range of topics from a variety of speakers. It's interesting to hear Perl experts talk about the advanced details of how Perl works, but it's dull to only hear about this. It's always nerve wracking to give a talk, but most of us have interesting stories of our experience with Perl that would make a good 5 minute talk to get people thinking. I encourage you to offer those talks. Meeting organisers will always help you plan your talk if asked, and social meetings are a good opportunity to bounce around ideas. Tom
