I'm interested.

Pretty much the same for me...actually, we have lots going on here at our household, 
so I can't say that one day is always going to be the best for me.

66205. I'm walking distance from ScriptPro...

Due to an extremely busy schedule, the shorter the better. I guess that's true for 
everyone though.

I've built three major sites with Template-Toolkit...www.ucomics.com, 
www.mycomicspage.com and www.upuzzles.com. That said, I'm far from an expert, but it 
is the most useful Perl module in my "toolkit." I've built a very basic registration 
system with Mason, but I haven't kept up with Mason since moving to Template-Toolkit. 
Axkit...well, I played with it a year or so ago. Any experts out there? 

I'd also like to hear a lecture on POE, OO and data persistence...Memoize or some of 
the caching modules would be nice. CS topics would be cool too.

See above...though I'm not the world's greatest lecturer, nor can I guarantee that I 
can put together a lecture on anything but long-term notice.

I think your the expert on that :)

ScriptPro would be excellent for me...don't know about the others. I'll try and think 
of alternative locations.
