Glad to meet you here :) Good luck with your OU work. I am also in the Greater London Liniux User Group, as are many other women (and men) in and around London and from further afield too. I am over the water from you in the London Borough of Bexley. If you are interested in Perl you might want to look at/lurk on perlmonks.org, use.perl.org and the debian-perl list?
