Still here. I've been a programmer since 1969, when I first wired up panels on IBM EAM equipment to collate, reproduce, and print punch cards. I discovered Perl in 1994 and used it extensively for the care and feeding of the largest worldwide database in the Department of Defense for 15 years. Because of Perl I earned the nickname "Mr. Magic", but the real magic was in Perl, not me. Perlmonks has been and remains a godsend of knowledgeable, helpful individuals who make the time to help others. Nine times out of ten when I see a new question it has already been answered by several monks. The speed of monk responses is dizzying!
When I think of Perlmonks, I think of police Sgt Al Powell's response in the movie "Die Hard", "You couldn't drag me away!" :)
"It's not how hard you work, it's how much you get done."
