Sad to hear that.

London.pm in particular were mind-bogglingly active in the early 2000s, pulling lots of funny quirky pranks, for example, declaring war 💥💣🪖 on Paris.pm and sponsoring a camel 🐪 at the London zoo (mentioned here). Based on their youtube channel and a Mohammad Anwar tech meet report, they were still going strong in 2019.

Presumably Covid hit their in-person meetups pretty hard; at least London Perl Mongers Meetup Group suggests their last in-person event was in 2020. Hopefully davies can comment further (he often posts about London.pm, e.g. London PM Technical Meeting 2019-05-23 and London PM Technical Meeting 2019-09-25 and more).

BTW, talexb still hosts regular monthly meetings of Toronto Perl Mongers, as mentioned a few weeks ago at 22 years, and about a quarter century of Perl (not sure if these meetings are virtual or in-person).
