user Lexicon I'm at the University of Washington working on a PhD in Biochemistry. It's an adventure being the big bad computer scientist in the world of biologists, and I'm holding my own so far. <p> I've written a few things, which are available here and hopefully someday on CPAN if I can ever figure it out. Currently published here are my [Math::Combinatorics] v1.00 and [Math::Combinatorics::Combinator] v0.90 (RC A) modules. More to follow? <p>  Many [monks], myself included, originally arrived here under the impression that were were a [Monastery Gates|monastery] of Perl, and within these walls its worship was supreme. Yet, the [use strict|Wisdom] contained withing these walls is too great for any one subject, and in fact spans all horizons:<p> <table border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 align=center> <tr><th> Sphere </th> <th> Philosopher </th> <th> Wisdom </th></tr> <tr><td nowrap align=center> Anatomy </td> <td align=center> [tilly] </td> <td> Dissections are not bad.
