Perl Monks User Meetings?

[Mr. Lee]

Are there? Have there already been?
I am newbie here, and I saw the perl monks are spread all around the world. But maybe there are possible meeting some of them? Amsterdam Perl Meeting or something? After staring at the code letters when working all day, it could be fine to meet the other "monks" face to face?

Check out Perl Mongers. Many monks belong to at least one Mongers group.

Seconded. Perl Mongers is the leading association of Perl user groups, with local groups world wide. (Including Amsterdam.)

We had a Birds of a Feather Session at the last PerlCon. It was nothing formal, just a note on the BOF Board that there would be a table of Monks in the upstairs bar starting at 1800. I don't recall how many Monks showed up over the next couple of hours, thirty+ as I recall. cLive;) posted some pictures afterwards, I don't have the URL immediately to hand, though. --Update: Corrected Typoes
