Hi Simon

Nice to hear from you.  I thought you were off in Japan.  Meetings do 
seem to get organized at the last minute and I am thinking of taking 
some low power embedded Linux systems (Alix and SheevaPlug) to the next 
meeting.  Last meeting David Leadbeater (of MessageLabs and Birmingham 
Perl Mongers) talked about system tap.

The email search engine and open source library catalogue sound 
interesting - are they written in Perl?
