Hi Randal!

Thank you very much for your commentary. Now for my comments.

That may be possible. Perlmeme.org is still under constant development, and 
many important content and links are missing. As far as I'm concerned a link 
to learn.perl.org should be added very soon, at the very least because it 
also contains some online books including the first edition of Beginning 
Perl.

Just a note: while being a perlmeme.org contributor I am by no means am 
leading this project. I'm sorry if I gave this impression, but my intention 
in the original message was to just publicize perlmeme.org. I believe Simon 
Taylor (CCed to this message) and other collaborators of his, are more of an 
authority as far as perlmeme.org is concerned. 

I believe they'll gladly accept any good patches to the site, either from 
Randal or from someone else.

OK. Just note that perlmeme.org is a very different site that learn.perl.org 
(and to some extent perl-begin.berlios.de) and they both fill different 
niches. I'm still looking for more contributors for perl-begin, including 
people who can populate its wiki with useful content:

http://perl-begin.berlios.de/Wiki/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page

Thanks again!
