Really great to have someone with your skillset and interests working 
with the Debian perl team, it will broaden the Debian-perl capabilities
as well as expose us to other projects that we sometimes don't think 
a lot about, like MeeGo. Perl worked pretty darn well on Maemo so I'm
really glad to hear that you're interested in keeping it up to date 
on MeeGo/Harmattan. 

May I ask about $work? Are you directly involved with MeeGo/Harmattan
development with Jolla? Apologies if this is none of my business.

While I'm not as active as I'd like to be, I want to wish you warm
welcome and I think you'll find this an easy and capable group to work
with, many of the people on this list have become my friends IRL.

Cheers,
