in reply to Au revoir, or adieu?

I'd say Au revoir Ovid
Perlmonks.org is a fairly international community. There are people from all over Europe here, don't be afraid you won't enter the Dark Ages by coming here.
Good luck for your move and if you ever happen to be in western parts of Germany, drop me a line. Maybe we could meet.

Take care!
