Hopefully this forwards OK. I stripped 90% of this off, leaving only the header, Perl stuff, and footer. You can click the link to read the whole thing if you want.

Hi there—
As you might have noticed, this is our first HTML user group newsletter. I hope it's easier to read, although I think it's just as long. Remember you can request new releases for reviews or raffles by simply replying to this email with your list of titles. And please include the 10 digit ISBN to make your order arrive faster!
I'm looking for user group videos or podcasts to blog about at http://oreillyfyi.com. If you have one you want to share, send me a short description and the url so people can watch and listen. Do you have any other special events or news we should know about? Send them along any time. I'll fit them in as I can.
Travel alert:
If you are going to be in Orlando for Tech*Ed the beginning of June, make sure you let me know so we can try to meet up--if I already asked you, no need to tell me again. I'll be in and out of the O'Reilly booth and attending the INETA UG leader Summit on Saturday, June 2.
I'll also be going to the San Francisco Bay Area Maker Faire 2007. I'm not sure where I'll be yet, but we we can try and say hi if your going too.
Thanks for your help!

Inside every tangle of obfuscated Perl code is a clean, well-architected gem struggling to emerge from its cocoon. brian d foy has spent a lot of time thinking about this for his new book, "Mastering Perl," and has come up with a Top Five list of things that every Perl programmer should be thinking about when writing code.
Until next time—
