NAME

Acme::PM::London::Maps::Earth - where in the world are London.pm members?

SYNOPSIS

use Acme::PM::London::Maps::Earth;

new Acme::PM::London::Maps::Earth (MAP=>"THE WORLD","PATH"=>"E:/src/pl/out.html");
# or
Acme::PM::London::Maps::Earth::all("E:/src/pl/");
__END__

DESCRIPTION

Imports a world map, and exports a world map with details of London.pm users scrawled over it, wrapped in an HTML page. This is a quick hack - no SQL, no CGI, no nice WWW look-ups, nothing.

I was bored and got this message:

How many off-London people have we got? (Well, also excluding people who
live near London.)

From outside the UK, there's Damian, dha, Paul M, I; Lucy and lathos
probably also qualify as far as I can tell. Marcel used to work in London
(don't know whether he still does). Anyone else?

Cheers,
Philip

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
