Just curious: does Larry post here?

I've only been here for a couple of months, and it's just now ocurred to me to wonder if Larry ever posts here. I didn't see any names on the "Saints in our book" node that looked the part, nor were there any links on the "St. Larry Wall Shrine" pointing to a home node that might be his.

Just curious anyhow. :)

    Yes, he posts here on a regular basis, and you did see him in Saints in our Book already, only you didn't notice...
    You will, of course, once you achieve enlightenment, or if someone tells you his nickname in the monastery.

    Cheers, Sören

    Larry is not a big XP guy, but he does occasionally post on matters to do with the 'outer edges' of Perl -- very occasionally you will read posts about why something is done a particular way. Mostly he stays out of the way -- the best reason I can think of is his explanation that he's really a C programmer. That's suitably understated.

    Continue reading posts -- you'll come across him in time.

    If one reads carefully, one should be able to pick him out in the replies here and here.

      Za! You've given away too much xdg! It's too easy to spot him once you've been pointed to a thread or two he's posted to. ;)

      Thanks for the replies. :)

      Yes, it's finally time to reveal the truth... Anonymous Monk is actually Larry!
        Oh I thougth paco he was. But I found later that he is registered under Larry nickname ;-)

    Gee! Loud and clear... here's a quotation from a recent post of his:
