Was doing my every-few-day look on CPAN to see what's come through, and saw something interesting.

I poked, and was enlightened as an articulate, detailed and responsive person got back to me.

It's nice to know there are Perl 'people' out there, even beyond the areas you ever would expect.

Got in touch, spoke about next steps, and had an overall good 'talk', about how to move forward on a Perl project.

Doesn't mean much, but this is my 2,500'th post here, and I thought I'd use it to say that I had met someone outside of the Perlmonks realm, who I'm going to work with to forward [Pp]erl in areas that it almost doesn't seem plausible.

That's my 0x9C4'th story.
