Welcome to the Monastery Jason, I hope you find your stay here pleasent.

As well as this site, there are several places that you can find the network you are looking for, here are a couple of newsgroups, though they are mostly for asking and answering questions:

• comp.lang.perl.misc
• comp.lang.perl.moderated

You also might want to look for a Perl Mongers group in your city, check with the main Monger site: http://www.pm.org/

Good luck, and if you know of any clients in Hawaii that need me, let me know ;)
