Started using Perl seriously to manage Oracle log files in 1998, then to run servers and now mostly use it for CGI s‎crip‎ts with the DBI module.

Fan of:

• Perl
• MySQL
• Macintosh OS X
• vi
• BBEdit
• Linux

Took first (and only) college programming course, FORTRAN IV, in 1969 while completing a degree in chemistry. Was programming in the lab before I switched to IT.

More details here. Note that I am using a Perl s‎crip‎t SSI to query the WordPress database and format the list of the latest posts.
