I don't think that's reasonable at all considering that the wait for
moderator approval is about six months now - it's unrealistic to try
to define what the waiting period _might_ be after an unspecified
upgrade.

Also, I thought I heard a call for a "Perl Wonk." I think I sent
the reply to the wrong address, so apologies if I'm repeating myself.
I think I qualify as much as anyone around here, but I'm seriously
occupied at the moment - I'm working on the second edition of "Teach
Yourself Perl in 21 Days," published by Sams. I'd be happy to lend a
hand, time permitting, however.
