Some tragic news for the Perl community...the following was posted to p5p and the Perl/Tk lists today:

I am sad to inform you all that yesterday evening,
Nick Ing-Simmons died following a massive heart attack.

His partner, Medi is concerned to ensure that this news
reaches all his friends online. Please pass this message
on to all who knew him.

He will be greatly nissed.

The Perl community owes much to Nick's contributions. He was a giant upon whose shoulders we all have stood.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
