[MacPerl] The MacPerl Pages (http://www.ptf.com/macperl/)

[Rich Morin <rdm@cfcl.com>]

The recent Perl Conference (sponsored by O'Reilly & Associates) was very
informative, as well as being a lot of fun.  More than a thousand Perl
devotees invaded the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, listening to talks by
Larry, Tom, Randal, Lincoln, et al.  If you have a chance to attend the
next such event, be sure to take it!  You won't be disappointed...

I particularly enjoyed the MacPerl BOF, which was held next to the pool.
About a dozen MacPerl enthusiasts sat around, swapping war stories and
esoteric Perl trivia.  I was a bit disappointed, however, that there were
so few of us in attendence.  Only a dozen MacPerl users, out of 1000+
conference attendees?  Seems a bit low, even for a largely UNIX/PC crowd.

So, Vicki Brown and I started thinking about ways in which MacPerl could
be promoted.  A comprehensive set of web pages seemed like a good idea,
augmented by pages for the mailing list, online support, a logo banner,
etc.  We started hacking on this, and have come up with a prototype:

Chris Nandor and Matthias Neeracher have looked everything over and given
the pages their blessing, but there will certainly be some things that
can use improvement.  So, take a look, then send us (mp-feedback@ptf.com)
your comments and suggestions.

P.S. If you like the banner, please put it up on any web pages where it
     seems appropriate; MacPerl needs some guerilla marketing and we're
     the only ones who are motivated to do it!
