• Commented on Introduction to Perl at BarCamp Kerala 8, India
  I have been noticing lots of Indians (assuming from their names) posting to the Perl beginners' mailing list. However, as you have written, they do not socialise over Perl. There is a need to introduce such an interest....
• Commented on Introduction to Perl at BarCamp Kerala 8, India
  There are no Perl events in India as far as I know. There are some Perl Mongers here (http://www.pm.org/groups/asia.html), however they are either inactive, or their websites are not updated. However, there are active user groups for Linux, Microsoft, Google...

  The following is a brief summary of my Perl introduction/promotion 28th, 2010 at Tiruvalla, Kerala, India.

  @Jurgen: actually, I almost exclusively run Perl directly from vim, so it would almost be surprising to see it in my list :)

  There were some folks interested in organizing a perl conference in the Bangalore.pm Thread .

  This is, however, not at all representative of my actual history. At any time I have a bunch of long-running gnome-terminal tabs open, and each of those have their own history. So the output depends on which terminal I ran the pipeline in.

  I am Delhi based. We have monger group Delhi.pm mailing list but very few mails. I am also interested in some sort of Perl events. I think we have now many people working in Perl here in India but all scattered. I think we should seriously think about bringing all of us together with a country level monger meeting/event and then ask the International Perl community for something like YAPC. Also we should try to attract some sponsor.
