Hi, I was asked late last year whether there was a need for Perl Training in South Africa. At the time I was unable to give any answer but the question has not gone away. The obstacle to a definitive answer revolves around how many members of za-pm (plus other non-member perl practitioners) are actually resident here. Do we have enough support for something of this sort, both individual and corporate? Are there enough people using perl in South Africa to warrant bringing training here? Maybe we export people to commercial training programmes overseas. What gives? I know from other involvements that South Africa is not always fertile ground for this sort of thing. We have large distances and sparse population in all but a few major centres. While we are small we are not that small but neither are we that big. We are part of the big world now, maybe we should make ourselves some opportunities to catch up here. As well as any individual comments on the need or feasability of something like this I would like to quantify the demographics of the za-pm membership. So ... Would each of you email me direct with your current working location? All information regarded as confidential of course.
