<h4>Motto</h4>
<p><em>"Keep moving forward"</em> Shake it off, and step up. There's progress to be made, and no time to waste dwelling on past failures.</p>
<h4>Personal Philosophy</h4>
<p><em>"It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice"</em> *Note: I'm sorry for the times I wasn't nice.</p>
<p>A mistake can be valuable or costly, depending on how faithfully you pursue correction.</p>
<h4>Why Perl?</h4>
<p>In my view, the main things about Perl that make it better than any other language are...</p>
<ul>
<li>its <em>Flexibility</em> (letting you do things the way <strong><em>you</em></strong> want)</li>
<li>its <em>Community</em> of friendly and extremely intelligent persons (perlmonks, irc.perl.org, comp.lang.perl.misc for example)</li>
<li>its <em>"Culture of <a href="http://perldoc.perl.org">good documentation</a>"</em></li>
<li>the <em><a href="http://search.cpan.org">CPAN</a></em> (and all that it entails and implies)</li>
<li>the <em><a href="http://dev.perl.org/licenses/">license</a></em> to use it in complete freedom</li>
</ul>
<h4>Monks I've met</h4>
<ul>
<li>[Mr. Muskrat]</li>
<li>[nicholasrperez]</li>
<li>[pmichaud]</li>
<li>[brian_d_foy]</li>
<li>[SirSpammenot]</li>
</ul>
<h4>Links</h4>
<ul>
<li>I agree with [fullermd] that it's too many clicks every time to find <a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=43037">"What shortcuts can I use for linking to other information?"</a></li>
<li>It's helpful to be able to look at [last hour of cb]</li>
</ul>
<h4>Node Collection <em>(needs work - alpha)</em></h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1014136">The difference between "my $var;" and "my ($var);"</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Silliness</h4>
<h5>The great ones say this isn't important...but I still think it's fun:</h5>
