Well, since I need 2.5 ideas per month for the three columns I'm still
writing, I'm certainly in a position to write nice things about PG,
although I always have to work it in from a Perl slant.

Actually, I'm sure that any of the magazines I'm in would appreciate
an additional article or two from me.

If you can think of something that fits in 2000 words or so (or 4000
if it needs part 1 and 2), and can have a Perl wrapper, I'd appreciate
some inspiration.
